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!)

USB Drives are the #1 Promotional Item Right Now

Forgive me for repeating myself, in suggesting a product I've suggested before, but it bears repeating....

The new year brings with it a desire to really use every single dollar wisely, and that goes for all your marketing materials, advertising and promotional products. As such, in order to stretch those ad dollars as much as possible, you really want to choose ad specialties that will be used over and over again; items that are truly useful and that your customers (and potential customers) will find a need to use, every day.

To that end, I can think of nothing better than a USB drive (aka "flash-drive" or "thumb-drive"). It's portable (fits in your palm); it's useful (you can save everything from presentations to music to e-mails to graphics -- whatever you need); it's easier to carry than a CD, and so on.... Add to that, the fact that your brand will be prominently featured in front of the user's face, for as long as he/she is using it, and you just can't beat it.

Another great thing about USB flash drives is that they come in all shapes and sizes: whether you want sleek and simple, cool and funky, custom-shaped (guitar, house, microphone, truck, bottle -- you name it) or eco-friendly. So, check out the links to get more information, or simply go to our home page at Eco-Swag.com, and start searching.
