Bulk Tote Bags


"There's power in numbers!" This quote can be true of many things. Most of the time when we hear this quote, we automatically think of people that are trying to make a difference, usually in a social or political reference. This is true: people can usually persuade the opinions of the decision makers and news media when there are larger numbers involved. So, why can't we do the same thing with tote bags?

When eco friendly promotional tote bags are bought in bulk, the company sponsoring the bag is doing a great good for the environment. They are reducing the use of thousands of plastic bags. They are also, in essence, buying a very large number of advertisements. These promotional canvas bags will work as advertisements because people will take these bags with them, shopping multiple times. So, multiple people will see these bags over the course of the time the bag is used.

Bulk tote bags are a promotional item, unlike other promotional products, that will actually be used. A lot of imprinted materials are often thrown away or consumed within a very short time of the recipient getting the product. A promotional tote bag, however, is used multiple times, so the company's logo is displayed for a longer period of time.

Be sure to focus on the important aspects of the environment when you're choosing a promotional tote bag. Is it reusable? This means, will people be using it more than once or countless times. Also, you must ask yourself if the product is recyclable. If the product is made out of recycled material, that will benefit the environment. The last thing you should look for is the material the bag is made out of. The bag could be made from recycled material, which is good, or the bag could be made from a natural fiber. Cotton, bamboo, and jute are good materials for tote bags to made out of.

Recently, GreenBagPromos.com has added a "subdomain" for larger quantity order of tote bags. You can visit the site here: BulkToteBags.GreenBagPromos.com

Promotional Tote Bag

promotional tote bag

Have you ever got a promotional item from a company, and that item ended up in the trash before the week was out? Sadly, this is true with a lot of promotion campaigns. Thought must go into the product you are giving away. A promotional tote bag can be a great tool to reach potential customers or thank existing customers. Let me give you four good reasons why you should put your logo on a promotional tote bag for your next promotion.

1. Positive Image
A promotional tote bag will give your company a positive image in your customers' eyes. They will look upon your company favorable because you gave them an item they will actually use, and the product is good for the environment because it is reusable.

2. Good Advertising
When you put your logo on a shopping bag, there will be countless numbers of people that will see your ad. The recipient will see the message multiple times, yes, but when that person takes the bag to the grocery store, all of those shoppers will also see your logo. If you're giving this bag away at a trade show event, then all of those people will also see your message.

3. Lasting Impression
Think back to the last promotional product that you got that was useful? Did you keep it around? Unlike edible products, a promotional tote bag will last as long as the person wants it around. It will not be consumed within hours, and most people love to get tote bags. If the recipient does not use reusable shopping bags, then they will most likely give it to someone that will use it.

4. Happy Employees
Human beings like to give things away. It's the feeling of being generous. So, you could possibly give a promotional tote bag away to each customer who purchases over a certain dollar amount. When your employees give the customers an eco friendly tote bag, both people will feel great! These bags will benefit your business whether it be with repeat business or happy employees.

Green bag promos are a great way to boost sales of new customers and repeat customers. For your next promotion, do research and make sure that you're promoting your business with eco friendly materials.

Eco Friendly Printers - Print For Less Review

As the new years approaches, I would like to encourage you to find more eco friendly ways to do the same things you already doing. A lot of times, these more environmentally friendly ways will also save you money! Finding an eco friendly printer is one of these ways that will help you save money and the environment. This online printer is a great source for eco friendly printing.

Eco-Friendly Printing
There are a few major areas that you should consider when looking for an eco friendly printer.

Paper

Paper choice is very important when considering the environment. There is enough information that could be discussed on just paper alone. It really comes down to the bleach, however. Trees are a resource that can be reused over and over again. Dioxin, the chemical usually used to bleach paper, is not a renewable resource. Once used, it cannot be used again, ever. So, paper that is bleached with dioxin is not an eco friendly paper choice. You should try to find printers that use paper that is milled elemental chlorine free.

Ink

The inks that a printer uses can also be very harmful to the environment if the incorrect inks are used. For many decades, printers used any inks that were available. Some printers still use these old inks. Those kinds of inks are harmful to the environment because they are made with harsh chemicals that effect the environment. The waste water used to print contains many harmful chemicals that effect the streams, rivers, lakes, fields, etc. An eco friendly printer will use inks that are vegetable based, primarily soy, which is gentle on the environment, and the inks still produce great, high quality images. Technology has come a long way, and you don't have to sacrifice quality for an environmentally friendly ink.

Packaging

Traditional packaging of printed products includes a cardboard box and peanuts. Packaging materials are not necessarily harmful to the environment, but it is how those materials are treated that can harm the planet. Foam peanuts are typically made from a petroleum base. An eco friendly printer will use packaging materials that are made of biodegradable materials to pad the printed materials inside of boxes. The boxes, if made of cardboard, can be recycled and made into new cardboard. There is no reason why cardboard boxes should not be recycled. Another good way to make cardboard boxes eco friendly is to reuse them in your own company. Use an old box to ship your next item to a customer.

Eco friendly printers will also try their hardest to reduce waste in paper trimmings. They will make the best cuts out of the paper, and they will take any waste and reuse it in other paper like newsprint. Power supply is also another way to spot an eco friendly company. Find an eco friendly printer that is powered by solar or wind energy.

Promotional Canvas Bags


How are your advertising dollars being returned? Promotional canvas bags are a great way to promote your company or organization because they are an eco friendly bag promotes your business in a way that is appealing to customers. People like to know they are helping out the environment. So, they are more happy to do business with you, a company who is going green. Canvas bags are green because they are made from cotton, which is a natural, biodegradable fabric. There are lots of different uses for promotional canvas bags, and I would like to highlight three of them in this article.

The first way to use these bags is as a giveaway. You can give these bags away at a tradeshow. This is very popular because tradeshows are known for giveaways, but if you're the company giving away bags to carry everything in, you're looked at as the hero! You can also give them away in your storefront. A lot of companies will give them away after the customer has purchased a set amount of product. For example, a meat market may give customers a free bag for every $50 they spend. Community events are also a good place to give away the bags. This will make your company look good to the neighborhood.

Another use of these promotional canvas bags would be to sell them in the store. As a business, you can choose to make a profit from the bag sales, or you can decide to sell them at cost as a marketing tool. Your customers will be toting these bags around with them to other stores and they will also be bringing them back to your store, which is what you ultimately want.

The third use of these bags is fundraising. Non-profit organizations can sell advertising space on one side of the bag and use the other side for their own logo. After the bags are printed, the organization can sell the bags for profit. The cost of the bag will be basically covered by the ad sales, and the bag sales will be received as profit. This is an easy way, especially for smaller non-profits to make money.

After you have these bags in people's hands, your logo will be seen by multiple people and multiple times. How many times have you used a promotional product, and the recipient threw it away once they reached their destination? Or they simply consumed it, never to remember your company again. When you use a cotton canvas bag promotion, your recipients will thank you because it is something that they will actually use, and it will look favorably for your business because it is something that is friendly to the environment. These bags, whether you give them away, sell in your store, or use to raise funds, are a good use of your promotional advertising dollars.
