Branded gifts can help market a brand, and as often as possible, you should opt for eco quick-ship promo items that get to you quickly, advertise your product(s)/service(s), and help support the earth!
Eco-friendly. Sustainable. Good for the environment. Recyclable. These are words and phrases that are heard more and more. How can they apply to the world of promotional products and, more specifically, the world of quick-ship, last-minute promo products?
According to the World Wildlife Fund, online searches for sustainable goods grew over 70% between 2016 and 2021. This shows that sustainability isn’t just a trend; everyone must do their part to protect the earth, including brands that are in the midst of marketing themselves.
Promotional products get used and seen over and over again, meaning a company’s or organization’s logo gets seen over and over again. The more thoughtful and useful the product is, the better. If it is a quick-ship promo item that can get in at the last minute, that’s even better. And there will be major bonus points if it’s an environmentally friendly promotional gift.
When choosing custom-printed swag, think… 1. How often will this be utilized? 2. How long can this be utilized? 3. Can it be recycled or repurposed?
Some go-to options include reusable shopping bags and stainless steel water bottles, as they a. appeal to all types of people b. can advertise any business or association c. replace disposable things, such as plastic shopping bags and plastic water bottles.
Other eco-friendly promotional products / quick-ship promotional products are gifts that give back to nonprofits dedicated to protecting the planet, that are made of recycled materials, that feature natural elements, and that help support Mother Earth.
This is one small step, one little change, that brands can implement. It will add up, it will help out, and it will mean you are doing your part to save the planet.
