Environmentally Friendly and Eco Promotional Products are now being used by companies to convey a message of awareness and practicality. Are they really necessary and what are the benefits for a marketing campaign?

With so many issues facing our business and life in general at the moment, it is important to make any marketing campaign convey your company’s awareness of not only the environment, but the challenges facing our future generations. Environmentally friendly promotional products have become very popular and send a green message to your clients and customers, they show that your business practises global awareness by utilising your campaign in a resourceful way. These environmentally friendly items reflect your commitment towards nature and encourage others to join the initiative to protect the earth. You can get items, such as pens, tote bags, notepads, memo pads, and coasters made from recycled materials, mouse mats and coasters are produced from recycled car tires, plastic items like the key-rings, pens, coasters, and many more made from recycled plastics. We also have a range of pens made from cornstarch which is a completely biodegradable substance. There are bags made from recycled PET bottles, which certainly convey the message of renew, reuse and recycle. As-well as recycled products, we also stock a range of items that send a clear message regarding environmental awareness. Items such as solar powered key-chains, anti stress water drops, and shower times, convey that saving energy is important. Eco, recycled and environmentally friendly promotional products are now becoming a way of promoting your business, but without stomping your carbon footprint all over the earth, at the same time.

It does not matter if your business is not an Eco resort or a seller of recycled materials, if you have an awareness even in a small way, believe me, your clients will notice. You can take steps to reduce your carbon footprint, such as recycling some of your white water and using it for your toilets or gardens. Most businesses have plenty of water wastage, and in Australia it is important not to drain our dams of this precious resource. You can then get some shower timers or anti stress water drops printed with an awareness message like, “Be like Joe Blow’s laundry service, and recycle your water too! We saved 740,000 litres in 12 months!” Clients not only will feel like they are supporting an environmentally friendly company, but it will make them consider their own habits and hopefully your message will have a follow on effect.

The most practical thing about utlising an eco aware marketing campaign for your business, is that it is not expensive. You can buy recycled items for the same price that you buy non recycled items. Also, the paint that is used to print on these products is water based, making it biodegradable also. So before you venture out on a promotional frenzy, make sure you think about how you can contribute to a greener earth.
