Why Should Your Brand Consider Eco Friendly Promotional Items?

Choosing eco giveaways is a great way to show your business is playing its part in the conversation surrounding environmental concerns. Showing your customers how easy it can be to make the switch to greener living practices - be it through swapping paper coffee cups for reusable travel mugs, or throwaway carrier bags for long-lasting branded totes - is a brilliant way to lead by example and assert your brand as one that is a part of the conversation and leading the way. 

Opting for green-living merchandise as and when you can is also a great way to demonstrate your business takes its Corporate Social Responsibility seriously - and there's no time like the present to begin. 

Many of our eco friendly promotional merchandise items are the perfect sizes for posting to customers, too. The meaning? You don't need to wait for face-to-face contact; rather, posting our products as part of a direct-mail campaign will surprise and delight your customers in equal measure.
