Eco-Friendly Gift Options


Good afternoon and welcome back friends. My apologies, with prepping for our recent trade show, I have not been blogging as much as I would have liked. I hope you all found my previous article about why doing promotions now to be informative. I look to do that today in discussing what "Going Green" can mean when it comes to gifts you offer your customers and employees.

There are many items that are "Environmentally Friendly", so what does that mean. Let's look at cotton as one example. Organic cotton can be found in tee shirts, grocery totes, pique polos, and sport shirts. These are items that we wear at work, out at outings, or even at your local grocery store. So what is the difference between regular cotton an organic cotton? Organic cotton is biodegradable and hypoallergenic. It is also machine washable and dry able. So it works and wears just like regular cotton, but at a much friendly price to the environment.

Bamboo has also become a popular alternative to twill and sport shirts. Bamboo is one of the world's most renewable plants. Bamboo can grow up to one foot a day without the use of chemical pesticides. As someone who consider himself eco-friendly, that was news to me.

There are numerous products that you can buy for your employees or customers, and now those products have environmentally friendly alternatives. Same style product, but at an environmental conscious price. It's a small way for us all to better serve our community.
For more information on items available, check out our website.
Earth Day is April 22nd.
