But here is a case of a cause which has evolved into a growing trend. Environmental promotional products are riding in the bandwagon, so to speak. Giving away “green” promotional products reflects on the value of your brand. On top creating brand awareness, your company, as the maker or manufacturer of the brand you are promoting, is embracing social responsibility. Hence, you stand to gain credibility, integrity and the support of the growing number of populace who espouse a cleaner, greener Earth.
Here are some of the trendy environmental promotional products today:
· Promotional Reusable Travel Mugs -More and more people leave behind the paper coffee cups and opt to have the barista or the convenient coffee vending machine fill their travel mug with that no-whip-low-foam-non-fat cappuccino. This is the trend going for reusable imprinted travel mugs which feature double wall construction to both insulate the beverage as well as to avoid the transfer of heat to your hands. You can choose from a range of colors and sizes and variety of custom logo travel mugs including plastic travel mugs, ceramic travel mugs, aluminum travel mugs and stainless steel travel mugs.
· Promotional Tote Bags – The trend started with organic grocery stores promoting the use of disposable grocery bags, as opposed to the non-biodegradable plastic bags used in most shops. Ask your promotional products supplier to make grocery style resusable imprinted tote bags. Perhaps devise a neat slogan declaring your support for the green cause and have it printed on the bag together with your brand and logo. Most companies also announce their support for a certain environmental group or cause to prove their position.
· Promotional Apparel – The current trend with recycled apparel today is the use of 50 to 70 percent bamboo combined with raw fabric materials such as polyester or cotton. Bamboo apparel keeps the look and feel of traditional garment but offers the benefit of being eco-friendly, crediting the bamboo, a sustainable resource. Eco-friendly apparels can be customized with company logos and designs using a variety of embroidery and silk screening techniques.
· Promotional Metal and BPA-Free Plastic Water Bottles -
If you intend to give promotional items to adventure-seekers, logo imprinted reusable water bottles made from stainless steel, aluminum and BPA-free plastic are recommended environmental promotional products. With reusable water bottles - designed to be carried attached to back packs and belt loops, your goal is to help eliminate the need for disposable plastic bottles and cups. Have them readily portable, the type with screw off and pop-up lids. When printing your band or company name, help limit design costs by opting for stock design templates that can be used in combination with a business, group or cause logo.
· Promotional Memo Pads and Note Pads - Office stationary set and planners are some of the most popular promotional products with more and more styles and options coming out every year. Hand-made papers have been here for some time now but there are also eco-friendly options for customized recycled memo pads and logo imprinted recycled sticky notes.
Make an impression with Special Promotional Products
When people visit trade shows and industry events, they have a tendency to collect promotional products possibly from every booth. There is a seeming delight taking home as assortment of stuffs but do they actually use each item? Or they just pile them up and left to gather dust in a cabinet somewhere. Disappointing even, when promotional products are later regarded as clutters and are thrown to the bin to join with the rest of the junk....
The Best Promotional Products to Give in Trade Shows
People, the buying public, would troop to trade shows to learn about products and services - and would take notice of exciting, new products launched in the market - but also, not a few in the queue are actually thrilled to participate in taste tests, join contests and redeem prizes, and most of all receive freebies galore. As a matter of fact, these freebies are conveniently placed free for picking. You can not blame people when they are tempted to amass loads of promotional products.
From small promotional items like pens, rulers, key chains and refrigerator magnets to quite cumbersome stuff such as bags, umbrellas and big balloons, free stuffs are sure to bring delight to a trade show visitor. And then people can not seem to get enough of mouse pads, paper weights, coffee mugs and more key rings they hardly can stuff on their tote bag, free also, of course. Never mind if most of the take-homes are a total sell-out, with glaring brands and tacky logos printed on the item, or flawed items - pens that don’t write, mugs that leak and post-its that don’t stick. Indeed, where else but trade shows, the ultimate source of free promotional products.
