Featured Item: Soybean Cotton Jersey Polo

Did you know that it takes 300 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to make one cotton t-shirt?  Or that 4 million tons of textile waste or discarded every day - the average American alone throwing away approximately 68 pounds alone? These days there are surprisingly numerous - and fashionable - apparel options available to consumers wishing to make more environmentally conscious choices. Bags, shorts, blankets, jackets and more are available in a variety of fabrics which are designed to reduce your footprint.  We have access to organic cotton, recycled polyester, bamboo-based fabrics - even apparel and accessories made from recycled plastic bottles.

We love these Men's and Ladies' polos.  Not only are the comfortable and sharp looking, but they are made of a combination of cotton, spandex and azlon - a soybean-based protein used to make fabric.  Another upside?  Azlon has natural wicking properties, so you will stay cooler and drier in these shirts than your average cotton or poly polo.  To order these, or other earth-friendly apparel, contact us today.

Brand Your Business: Promote your Eco-Friendly Business in Kind

Brand Your Business: Clear Advantages

With more and more customers becoming environmentally aware, eco-products are a wonderful resource to promote a business.  Say you're a heating company that focuses on bio-diesel, a geothermal installer, a local food co-op retailer, or even a beauty supplier who specializes in organic and natural products.  You still need to be promoting your business and spreading awareness for your products, but wouldn't you prefer to do that with a product which reinforces your message of environmental responsibility?  Take these awesome pens, they're 80%  made of  recycled plastic water bottles. What's more, there are endless options for earth-freindly promotionals: rulers, mugs, awards, notebooks, key tags... the options are endless.  Contact us today to find the right eco promo for your business and your budget.

Brand Your Business: Natural Growth

When it comes to promotions, you need to be thinking at least a month in advance.  Event planning, production times, and proper marketing and advertising all take more time than most people realize.  Regular promotions can be an important tool in keeping your business top of mind with your customer base, as well as a tool to grow awareness of your business with those out there who have not yet discovered your business.  Now that we're in mid-March and the temps are rising, people's minds naturally turn to Spring.  But don't focus on coming up with a St. Patrick's day promotion, or March Madness tie-in.   Instead, focus more on what you can be doing in April or May.  Maybe an Earth day promotion is right for your business? If your business is involved with the exploding Green movement in this country, or even utilizes or sells green materials in their day-to-day operations, a green promotion is right up your alley!  There are literally thousands of earth-friendly promotional products out there. Pens, rulers, magnets and more are available in corn-plastic, a naturally derived plastic that's 100% biodegradable.  Notebooks, post-its, journals and more are available from recycled paper.  There are-usable cloth shopping bags available, as well as solar powered flashlights.  Almost anything you can think about comes in an eco-friendly version, making it easy for you to promote your business in the most environmentally friendly way.  Call us for more information on eco promotional items today.
