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!)

Food gifts are the #1 gift of choice during the holiday season, and, for the 10th year in a row, we're counting on the largest company in America, specializing in corporate food gifts, to deliver the goods: Maple Ridge Farms.

This delicious treat from Maple Ridge Farms (pictured) includes their signature english butter toffee, made with dairy-fresh butter, for a flavor that's impossible to find anywhere else. Alongside that yummy confection are freshly-roasted California almonds, smothered in rich, utterly-delectable milk chocolate. Fifteen-ounces in all.

This masterpiece assortment will delight every (and I mean every) chocolate lover! It will more than delight every toffee lover. And, as if that weren't enough, it comes in a handy-dandy, dang-I-can-put-all-kinds-of-things-in-here wooden collector's box.

Food gifts are excellent for sharing! (So are wooden collector's boxes.)

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.

If it's a little too cold for short sleeves, and you don't want the weight of a sweatshirt or sweater, there's really nothing better.

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.

Great for getting your message out there. Great for showing your clients you want to give them a little something extra.

Low minimums with a quick turnaround.

Eco-Swag.com launches today, Earth Day 2009

Eco-Swag.com, based in Nashville, TN, fully launches today, offering hundreds of thousands of earth-friendly custom promotional items and merchandise to help green brands the world over.

We did a "soft launch" several months ago, requesting constant feedback from customers who wanted to offer it, on what they'd like to see, how they'd like to see it, etc., and took their (your!) ideas, and implemented them.

What you'll find at eco-swag.com is an enormous selection of biodegradable, sustainable swag: organic cotton t-shirts, recycled/recyclable tote bags, bamboo items (including bamboo bath robes, bamboo barbeque sets, etc.), solar chargers, and thousands of other ad specialty items to help expand your brand, and green your brand at the same time.

Eco-swag.com is easy to navigate, and offers specials on a continual basis, as well as a Green Ideas Showroom, to give you a number of marketing ideas, at a glance.

In honor of Earth Day, we're offering all our blog subscribers 20% off of everything on our site, for the next week. Simply mention Promo Code "Earth Day Promo," and you'll instantly save. (Blog subscribers receive special discounts throughout the year, as well, that are not offered on our site.)

Eco-Friendly Sports Bottles

Okay, it's been entirely too long since I've posted, and I apologize!

Many of you have already downloaded our awesome, new, FREE toolbar, which provides you instant access to our blog, specials, updates, etc., anyway, so if you haven't yet done so, I invite you to do so here. (Bonus: It's filled with free marketing tips & tools, specials links to save $$ on the web at Amazon, Buy.com, Expedia, and more. Plus, it comes with a radio, a To-Do list -- which I'm personally addicted to -- and more. Download it now. You'll love it. I guarantee it.)

It's no surprise that budgets are being watched more closely than ever, but any successful business will tell you that that does NOT mean ceasing to advertise. It means finding better, more consistent, albeit possibly less expensive, ways to advertise. That's why you can never fail with promotional products. The right promotional products. "Right" means: customers will use it repeatedly; your logo is clear as day; it's portable, useful, fun -- or all three! Then, make it an eco-friendly item, and your customers will be begging to give you more business. (Exaggeration is allowed in blogging, isn't it?)

Seriously, though, those really are things to keep in mind to really use your ad dollars wisely and, wouldn't you know, I've got just the thing(s): eco-friendly sports bottles (everyone drinks water; people are going to the gym more, since it's still early in the year and they still have resolutions to contend with; your logo will be seen, repeatedly, by your customer, as well as the folks surrounding your customer's treadmill, etc. )

The one pictured here has a low minumum of 200 (usually 250), and is $1.39, which includes a one-color imprint. One-time set-up is $50

For more info (packaging, colors, etc.), click here now, or just give us a call at 615-650-5777.

*Remember: we always have FREE virtual pre-production samples, so you can see your product before it goes to production (or we can always ship you a physical sample, of course).

Dedicated to helping you expand your brand....

Eco-Swag POD: Stainless Steel Water Bottle

The goal of any promotional product is to choose an item your customers, or potential customers, will want to use over and over again (because, of course, repeated exposure to your logo is never a bad thing). With our growing awareness of the importance of eco-friendly living, the goal of all of us (hopefully) is to use items, in daily life, we can use over and over again.

That's where great eco-swag comes in.

If you're going to use promotional products (aka "swag") as part of your ongoing marketing efforts (and everyone should!), you want to choose products that a) your customer will want to use -- a lot; and b) something that represents your company well.

A great choice is a sleek, stainless steel water bottle:

Think about it: Pretty much everyone you know drinks water every day. Pretty much everyone you know knows the importance of non-wasteful living. So, combining those two things, and providing your customers, and potential customers, with something they will feel good using, and something that exposes them to your name every day, is a pretty darn good choice.

To purchase your own stainless steel water bottles (they're only $7.95!), click here, then go to "Specials," -- or e-mail me at ecoswag@gmail.com. (Set-up is $40, but if you subscribe to my blog, set-up is FREE!)
