Trend Watch: Green Merch for Your Promotional Goods

We live in a world consumed of STUFF, right? Think about all the random things you have that you don’t necessarily need. This cannot be good for our environment as each one of these items are most likely produced in a warehouse that is emitting tons of chemicals into mother Earth. In our businesses, we are handing out so much paper, pens, and tote bags that when we are done with don’t get recycled back into the planet, but instead dumped in landfills, the oceans, the streets, etc. It’s time to start thinking about what we are doing or going to hand out consciously instead of not thinking about the impact at all.

Choosing Conscious Promotional Goods

Business cards, promotional giveaways, and flyers are all items that help put your company name out there. It is inevitable that we are going to use a promotional giveaway here or there for tradeshows, marketing events, and open houses. Business cards helps people remember you are, and flyers give people a visual of a deal or an event they may be interested in. These marketing products and marketing in general is what brings awareness to your company and what ultimately leads to a successful business.

Having said that, we can do our part as we are choosing which promotional items to use for our businesses. We have a choice on rather to hand out the item that’s going to go straight to the landfill or something that is more environmentally friendly. Choose the seed paper business card that can be turn into a beautiful flower when you plant it and not be lost in the planet somewhere. Choose the recyclable pencil to hand out at your next marketing event. Choose the reusable mesh tote that can be used to replace plastic produce bags at the market. CHOOSE to do your part to help our planet instead of adding to it.
