There is no better way to show your customers that you care about the environment than by handing out “green” promotional items. These items positively brand your image and display your concern for a better future, something that is definitely appreciated by families, environmentalist groups and others. Here are the top ten “green” items that you should consider for your next trade show or event.
1. Reusable Shopping Bags – Reusable shopping bags cut down on plastic bags in the landfill and environment. They’re practical for shopping or beach days, and they position your logo front and center.
2. Drinkware – Think of how many water bottles are thrown into the garbage each day? How many coffee cups at the office get tossed away? Coffee cups, tumblers and water bottles made from recycled materials are the perfect alternative, and they look cool, too.
3. Coffee Gear – At home or the office, coffee gear made from recycled materials is a great compromise to the traditional stuff. Look for sleeves, cups and lids made from recycled material – your business clients will love them!
4. Flash Drives – Flash drives are great for businesses, college students and everyday people. These handy gadgets cut down on the need for printing on paper. For an added touch, choose a flash drive with a bamboo cover.
5. Recycled Paper Products – Notepads, notebooks and sticky pads have always been great marketing materials, but they waste paper and trees. Instead, aim for paper pads made from materials like recycled paper or stone, and look for companies that produce their products using renewable energy.
6. Mints – What could cut down on waste more than an edible promotional item? Choose organic mints made in the USA that come in a recyclable box.
7. Bamboo Pens and Pencils – Writing utensils are a great way to market your business, and they are handy, too. Make yours stand out by choosing a bamboo exterior and organic ink.
8. Fleece Blanket – Opt for blankets made from environmentally friendly polyester fiber fleece. These blankets have so many uses for adults, kids and pets, and they are perfect for the upcoming fall and winter months.
9. Organic Clothing – From t-shirts to sweatshirts to baseball caps, there are many types of clothing that can be purchased in organic cotton. Also choose products made in the USA.
10. Bamboo Coasters – What better place to put a coffee cup or can of soda than on a bamboo coaster? They’re attractive, biodegradable and perfect for the workplace.
