Yvon was also an environmentalist and therefore announced that 1% of company's revenue will be used to maintain the environment. Years later this cause gained popularity celebrities were seen in Patagonia clothes and thus sales boomed. But increase in sale also led to the increase in wastage thus polluting the environment but because environment was the mission of the company therefore they rolled out an advertisement stating "Don't buy this (product name)". And here comes the reverse psychology and the already booming sales exploded. Thank You.
