Recycled Promotional Ideas

Coolecotradeshowhandout_2 Its great when new logo products come out that have great style, are offered in contemporary colors and are 100% Recycled. Four color process, custom imprinting capability too?  STOP IT!

It's true. All this is created from recycled fiberboard. You are only limited to your imagination when designing your piece.  What you see above is a small folio that can hold something about the size of a CD.

Is there a particular size you need for your custom Eco project?  It can be done.  Information kits?  Eco-friendly media kits?  Custom boxes with fitted inserts can be created too.  Check out some of the color and texture options: 
Ecocoloroptions_2
EcotextureoptionsWith the fun colors and the weight of the recycled fiberboard, it makes for a high perceived value promotional piece that will get noticed.

Choices of the hoop, pigskin, and golf textures ~ even sport corporations can get in on the Eco-friendly action. (Cool co-marketing opportunity for games and outings.)

To the right is a style you can create in small quantities.  No minimum required. For small businesses this would be ideal for saving some cash.

Finally score an appointment with one of the "Big Dogs" you've been after?  Need a professional kit to make the pitch?  Here you go.  No set-up charge either. Sweeeet.

This decorating style is a digitally printed shaped plate. It's nestled into a debossed area on your recycled packaging, so that it becomes flush with the item.  You have 6 sizes to choose from with this no min method and they can be done on either a black or white fiber board base.

I'm loving the increase of cool Eco promotional product choices that are popping up.

So what's new?

New_wipe_giveaway_ideaIt's not easy to answer this question when I'm asked.  There are new promotional products that are developed, it seems, every day. Businesses have their own identities.  A bank wouldn't customize the same thing as a cutting edge technology company, well maybe they would.  Maybe banks should?  Break out of their stiff molds. But that's a Blog for another time.

I discovered this product the other day.  I think it's pretty cool because it makes me think.  I imagine gum, so I'm curious, I notice the logo.  It's compact and useful for my lifestyle.  It is different.  Decided: I keep it. 

They're wipes.  Just add some water, perfect for traveling.  I'm not lucky enough to do the First Class travel yet.  My plane lands ~ I want to freshen up.  I'd prefer one of these to a scratchy paper towel.

Parents?  (Notice I didn't just say "Mom's".  Dad's are in the picture too)  Easy to carry with all the other stuff we're responsible to lug along to the playground, park, ball field, etc...  You get the picture.  They are 100% natural cotton, 10 inch X 10 inch, they naturally dissolve, so they have the environmentally friendly factor too.  You like?

Brand Worthy

Custom_laptop_heineken1_2

The cool brand factor ~ Google, Apple, and Nike are some big names in the Brand world who have achieved it. The goal in marketing Brands, for most companies, is to get and keep their brand loved and considered genuine. By creating great products, staying on top of trends, and keeping the core message distinctive, great corporations can easily stand out expressing their individuality. Their loving consumers become even more dedicated to the brand for standing out as leaders in the industry. The consumers become the Brand’s best speakers. I have always loved the term “Sneezers”. 

Choosing logo promotional items is an important piece of the marketing plan to maintain the Brand image. If I received a logo gift from BMW and it fell apart, I’d be sad. I’d think that BMW didn’t care enough about me to invest in a worthy present. The gift, even though it is a logo item, should be  as cool and high quality that I perceive the BMW brand to be. I am a fan of their product, I’m proud of the brand I drive, I appreciate their cutting edge development I follow, and will continue to be unless... I start to get a bad message. There are a lot of car manufacturers upping the ante and trying to get my attention.  It may seem silly to some, maybe just because I’m in the business, but logo items speak volumes to me. 

I like this new promotional product. I think it’s Brand Worthy. Especially for those brands that are creative enough and earning their way into the "Brand Envy World". 

They are custom graphic skins  Burgerking_custom_laptop

They peel on and off, can be done in any size and they won't leave any residue.  You can do full color graphics and can stick them just about anywhere:  Painted walls, filing cabinets, laptops, doors, and more. 

What about creating one as a dry erase board?  Send one out to every corporate office as an introduction/ roll out for the new safety/quality/marketing program.

Need to attract the hard to reach, deep pocketed teens with something cool? ~ Great possible locker graphic or bedroom wall art.

The design should be "Stand out" and "Worthy" ~ just like your Brand.

Corporate Solar Bags

New corporate gift ideas?  Hmmmm...everyone wants a new worthy gift for their people. We've all done the padfolios, umbrellas, fancy pen sets, fleece ~ you know the routine.  There is a new kid on the block and it rocks as a new eco-friendly corporate gift.  It's a custom green energy bag. Let me tell you about a few product highlights:  It is a mobile solar power generator designed to charge all hand held electronics.Custom_solar_backpack Embedded on the outside are tough, waterproof solar panels.  The panels are so powerful that one hour in the sun will power 3 hours of your MP3 player or an hour and a half of your cell phone talk time.  Impressive.  There is a battery and an AC travel charger included just in case you get a cloudy day.  Also included are standard adapters for phones, laptop, car, USB and other hand held devices. 

The fabric is created from recycled soda bottles. (PET)  It is light weight, durable, UV and water resistant.  Amazing...there are a few different styles and the minimum order is 25 pieces to customize with your logo.  Great gift for a corporate eco lifestyle

Eco Gadgets

It was just a couple of posts ago that I spoke of Eco-friendly custom Flash drive ideas.  We came across these cool custom Eco gadgets yesterday and wanted to share as soon as we could.  They are environmentally friendly custom USB memory sticks.  The style on the left is 100% earth-friendly bamboo.  Each stick will vary with the natural bamboo tones.  There are two options to customize this environmentally friendly flash drive.  You can pad print your logo in color or have your logo engraved, keeping the natural look.  I like the option to include a bamboo gift box too with the slide off cover.  Adds a nice touch!  The logo Eco USB stick on the right is created from recycled ABS plastic.  The recycled casing can be in any PMS color.  You also have a choice for corporate USB customizing style.  You can have the logo imprinted on a silver metal plate, or choose a full-color dome imprint.  They are high speed USB 2.0 and meet all RoHS standard's for environmental protection. They are ergonomic with their curved shape and have a contemporary matte finish. This style includes a recycled cardboard box.    USB's are the norm for custom corporate giveaways, so why not hand out a cool one that helps the earth?   Recycledflashdrive Bamboousbdrive
