Hi Jeff, not sure what you mean by marketing, but since cob and all OB
construction is sooooo labor intensive I can't see how it can be
marketed  but haven't thunk on it deeply yet. Do you mean in finding
more  customer work for yourself?

Teaching people to build their own privacy walls, and green house
attachments, etc. may be it, or as an after market development of add
ons, like a studio on the property, (fits into the 120 sq.' codes) or
guest cottage as usable space.

here is a great link to Bo Atkinson, who pours in cement, but the IDEA
is if you could promote cob instead, then building this type of
courtyard and  add-on to a home might work.

Bo Atkinson- sand form sculptor- great ideas to make tufastone on your
own,
cob, etc.   Euro Adobe garden walls
