Enviromentally-Friendly (Chipboard) Binders from Eco-Swag.com

Consistency in your branding is, of course, vital, if you want to stand out from your competitors, and be easily remembered by your clients.  This is particularly true for those companies who are greening their brands, while growing their brands.

Environmentally-friendly binders are one of the many items you'll want to have in your marketing arsenal, and these gorgeous chipboard binders are fantastic.

 

These enviro binders come with two interior pockets and 1" rings inside.  (However, we can provide them without pockets, and with smaller rings, if you so desire.  Just ask!)

We can also print multi-color logos on these, as well (and even four-color-process if you have a super-colorful logo, with lots of color gradients and funky stuff going on).

Recycle Cap with Built-In Bottle Opener from Eco-Swag.com

How cool is this?!

One of our customers was in a quandary, wanting a hat that would convey his company's sustainability message, but would also hold their multi-color logo, without looking too busy.

This baseball cap comes with an integrated bottle opener built right into the visor!

The hat itself is made from recycled plastic bottles, with six-panel structured construction and velcro strap.  It also comes with a custom-decorated, high-definition detail, four-color-process bottle opener, with domed resin, on which you can put your multi-colored logo or message.

Embroidered green recycle symbol is on left side of visor.

The bottle opener is used by taking the cap off of your head, putting it on top of the bottle and lifting up. One hand, one motion -- and it works every time!

Bonus!! Low minimum of 72.

Double Bonus!  Production is a mere four-to-five days!

They are a GREAT promotional item!

Seeded, Plantable Promo - Grow your business, Grow a tree

A good promotional item is one your customers will use, regularly; one that, dare I say, . . . promotes you.  Another element of a good promotional item is one that, when given, is regarded as special and unique in some way, that will not only make you look good to your customers and prospects for having given it, but also will make your customer feel good about using, or sharing it.  (Plus, of course, if it's recyclable and/or actually good for the environment, that's a major bonus.)

So it is, with our wildly popular seeded products.  Eco-Swag at its best!

And we're not talking about mere branded seed packets (though we have those, of course).  We're talking seeded bookmarks, seeded business cards, seeded postcards, seeded ornaments (which can also double as super-cool, totally unique necklaces), seeded product boxes (with beautiful letterpress printing) -- you have to see these!  Look!

As if that weren't enough, Eco-Swag.com  has seeded wine neckers, seeded coffee-cup coolers, seeded desk calendars, and more.

Call us today at 877-ECO-SWAG or, in Nashville, 650-5777.

Recycled Lanyards That Were Once Plastic Bottles

Things have been crazy-busy here at Eco-Swag™ the first quarter of this year, with more and more companies greening their brands, in ways large and small.

In honor of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, many companies are taking this opportunity to switch to recycled, recycable or sustainable (or all three!) promotional products. We're also finding tons and tons of festivals and tradeshow organizers are switching to recycled items, such as recycled PET lanyards (made, primarily, out of recycled plastic bottles).  (Our own Earth Day Festival, here in lovely Nashville, TN, is in fact using these earth-friendly lanyards, and I was happy they chose us, here at Eco-Swag™, to provide them!)

If you're planning an event for which you'll be needing lanyards, and would like to go a little greener, with organic cotton lanyards, or recycled PET lanyards, let us help.  E-mail us now, or call 877-ECO-SWAG.  (Mention Promo Code LANED40, and get FREE Shipping!)

IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN A BUTTERY-SOFT LONG-SLEEVE T-SHIRT?!

Oh, how I love this time of year. Not too warm, not too cold, but JUST RIGHT for wearing those yummy long-sleeve t's we all love so much.

We have both organic cotton and bamboo long-sleeve t's, that feel like you've worn (and washed) them a hundred times before (in a good way) when you put them on.

Eco-Swag's History

People often ask me how Eco-Swag.com came to be, so I thought I'd put it right here.

As the owner of PromoHeadquarters.com, which I started in 1999, I'd been offering hundreds of thousands of promotional products to businesses worldwide, but several years ago (2006), I began suggesting more eco-friendly versions of the products in which my customers were most interested. Me: "So, you'd like these plastic bottles with your two-color logo on one side?" "How about these BPA-free bottles that your clients will use over and over again, and which are safe to drink from, and better for the environment?" Customer: "Why, Ashley, you're a genius!" (Okay, well, I'm sure it was something like that....)

In 2007, I began seriously hunting down as many eco-friendly manufacturers as I could, and adding their products to my database at PromoHeadquarters.com. Then not wanting clients to have to enter a "slash" address all the time (You know, promoheadquarters.com/ecoswag), I started Eco-Swag.com. (I know, I know, the hyphen can be a pain, but some "[web] domain sitter/broker had bought it without the hyphen, and I didn't bother purchasing it. [Another distributor later did, however (in November 2008), and she started carrying eco-friendly products just like we were. Yes, imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but, truth be told, I suppose we're at least doubling the number of people who are now using eco-friendly promotional products, and that, by itself, is a good thing.]

Another interesting thing happened, as well: having the ability to offer eco-friendly, sustainable products to my customers has truly energized me, and really excited me about my business. Promotional products really ARE important. They work. They're useful. They're repeat advertising with a one-time cost. They bring in business. They make clients (and future clients) happy. But, in many respects, they can be wasteful. So, being able to offer nearly limitless choices of eco-loving products truly thrills me. (Plus, it makes my customers feel good, and their customers feel good. So, hey, it's a winning combination, any way you look at it!)
