Show Off Your Green Side...

Stand out from the crowd with a unique, plantable business card that will show off your green side.

Although they are referred to as "business cards", there are plenty of uses for these eco-friendly cards! Perfect as a small "thank you" token, a note to promote your "green" mission, or a statement about the eco-responsible charitable organizations you support!



Your full-color, custom message is printed directly on the seed paper ~ Your recipient can plant the entire card, water and enjoy the wildflowers!

Also available are "folding" business cards; the best of both worlds! These Folding Business Cards are perforated to provide 2 business cards: one to keep and another to plant!  Most people retain business cards so this is an excellent alternative to ordinary business cards!

These, as well as other seed paper products I have written about, previously, are truly eco-friendly products.  All are made from 100% post-consumer, recycled paper and dyed with all-natural and vegetable based pigments. All packaging, when desired,  is made from corn-based materials!  As if that's not enough, the production facilities are sustainable too; running entirely on a 30kW solar power system!

This week, I'm featuring a nifty promotional product ~ the Shopping Cart Coin Keychain!  Not only can you unlock on-going brand exposure with a promotional keychain...but shopping carts too!

This keep-a-coin shopping cart key chain consists of a set of two coins shaped as a loonie and a quarter to be used in shopping cart slots. Imagine...no more struggling to find change in the grocery store parking lot!  And the fact is, everyone needs a keychain for powering up cars and opening locked doors; all opportunities for you to leave an impression. Throw in trips to the mall and supermarket, and your list of brand exposure opportunities just grew exponentialy!

Inexpensive.  Reusable.  Convenient. Powerful.  Contact us today to find out how you can use this item to unlock your promotional potential!

The Write Stuff...

Letters to a sweetheart.  Poetry.  Love songs.  What do all of these have in common?  Well, they all likely started with...a pen! 

A pen can say so much... but if you're a company marketing your brand or launching a new product or service on a pen [which, incidentally, is the number 1 most popular promotional product in the advertising world, followed by calendars and keychains!], often the 1 1/2" x 1" barrel imprint area is not enough to say much of anything, short of your logo.

Enter a ballpoint pen with a twist [or a tug, if you will!] ~ The Banner Pen!  This ballpoint pen comes with a pullout ad sheet that, when fully extended, can spotlight your product and/or service in full-color on one side, and pricing or other details on the other!  The best part is, the banner sheet rolls right back up into the barrel, in a snap!  The barrel, of course, would carry your logo or brand

You can get a ton of mileage out of this product for just a buck n’ change!  Perfect for auto dealers, hair salons, restaurants, insurance brokers, financial institutions, law firms, real estate agents, or anyone that has something to say and needs ample space to say it! 

Pens grow legs too, adding even more miles to your product and/or service message!

Do you have a product and/or service that would benefit from a full color ad on a Banner Pen?  For plenty of creative ideas on how you can get this Banner Pen working for you, contact us today!

Did you know that the United Nations has declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests?

Well, today, I'd like to feature products from the "Green Grass" Collection where 10% of item sales go to Global ReLeaf. Global Releaf is the American Forests' education and action program aimed to help individuals and groups improve the local and global environment by planting trees.  American Forests is the oldest nonprofit conservation organization in the U.S. and has been an influential voice for conservation and the environment, worldwide, since its founding in 1875. Visit their website for more information.

 
The "Green Grass" Collection features 7 products, which are either made from 100% recycled material or are reusable.  Each product is decorated with the "Green Grass" border, which compliments any logo, and demonstrates the commitment to giving gifts that give back.  Each item also comes with a hang tag which highlights the charitable donations associated with the product.

Prices range from $8.80 for the ceramic tumbler to $2.00 ea. for the shopping tote, so there's something here to fit everyone's promotional budget.

Welcome to the Stone Age...

Last week, I wrote about "A Product That Rocks": The Stone Paper Notebook. This week, I'd like to build on that article by taking a closer look at "a brother from another mother" or...stone paper from another Canadian manufacturer. 

 
Unlike the previous product, the products I'm including in this article are made from TerraSkin® - a Cradle to Cradle® certified manufacturer of stone paper. Cradle to Cradle® Certification is a multi-attribute eco-label that assesses a product’s safety to humans and the environment as well as the design for future life cycles. [Learn more about C2C certification here]


No trees, no water, or bleach are used in the production of stone paper, infact, one ton of stone paper saves 23 trees and 7,400 gallons of water! The icons shown here display the products attractive eco-attributes.  The paper itself is water-resistent, tear resistent, grease proof and antibacterial.  [For additional characteristics, see here]

Now, about the products: On the Pebble [2.5" x 4.5"] or Rock [5" x 7"] Pads, the front cover is totally customizable, while the back cover lists the stone paper benefits [standard].  There are 40 inside blank pages so there's some real meat n' potatoes here!  These are priced as low as $4.75 ea.!

Also available are Saddle-stitched Notebooks in 3 different sizes!

An ideal product for meetings, workshops, conferences, employee welcome kits, or anywhere an eco notepad is desired!  Also available are spiral notebooks, gift bags, bookmarks, coasters, and business cards....all made from stones!

Stones.  Not just for skippin' anymore!

This week, I'd like to feature this colorful 18oz stainless steel canteen.  Why?  Well, for one, I like the screw-on dual purpose lid, with both small and large openings for easy cleaning or for adding ice cubes!  Most water bottles or canteens come with a single, small opening at the top, so you won't be gettin' any ice cubes in those puppies...unless you crush 'em!

Secondly, it comes with a silver carabiner, that can be fastened to a backpack or belt loop, for easy hands-free transport. 

...and last, but not least, I like the price!  $7.88 ea., including a one color imprint!  A full wrap imprint is also available on this product!

Great for fitness clubs, diet centers, outdoor or cycling clubs, or anywhere a water bottle is needed!
