I’d like to think that we all want to be a little eco-friendlier. But the problems facing the environment can seem so big that, most of the time, you just don’t know where to start, especially if you’re making decisions that impact your entire company and customer base.
Don’t worry, though. Read on for some easy ways you can start making more sustainable choices for your business, employees, and clients while also improving your marketing efforts.
Shop Responsibly Made Uniforms and Apparel
Order high-quality, earth-conscious, custom-branded apparel for your employees and clients that everyone can feel good about.
- This Vansport Planet Polo is made from Repreve recycled polyester, and each one keeps ten plastic bottles from ending up in our oceans and landfills.
- The Women’s Dege Eco Short Sleeve Polo is also made from eco-friendly recycled polyester, and they have a partnership with 1% For the Planet®, so one percent of all Eco sales get donated to environmental causes!
- Your clients and employees can rep your brand outside of the office with the District® Re-Fleece™ Full-Zip Hoodie and the District® Re-Fleece™ Hoodie. Made of reclaimed materials, the fabric for these hoodies is 100% recycled and never re-dyed. Your employees and clients will look and feel good, and you can be proud of the purchase you made.
Cut down on single-use plastic
This is admittedly really difficult because plastic is literally everywhere; but there are so many creative ways to cut down on your plastic consumption, encourage others to do the same, and market your brand at the same time.
- Invest in a thermos for your morning coffee. Not only will it likely stay hotter for longer, but it could also save you money since a lot of coffee shops give discounts to customers who bring their own mugs.
- This Café 17 oz Sustainable To-Go Cup is made from 100% post-consumer waste and its lid doubles as a coaster.
- Save money on cases of plastic disposable water bottles and opt for reusable water bottles instead.
- This Core – 22 oz Tumbler Cup comes with a straw and is one of our most popular.
- In situations where disposable drinkware might be unavoidable, consider something like these Greenware Cups. Made of 100% commercially compostable and biodegradable NatureWorks® PLA, these cups are an eco-friendly substitute for conventional plastic.
- Use reusable bags
We all know by now that plastic bags are bad for the environment, so resolve to make a habit of bringing reusable bags when you go shopping, and help your employees and clients do the same!
- Reusable bags are not only amazing and versatile sustainable items, they’re great promotional products, too!
- These Foldaway Tote Bags are perfect to throw in your purse or car because they fold up into a self-contained pouch and take up barely any room! Or keep it simple with something like this Good Value® Mega Grocery Tote Bag.
Honorable Mention
This didn’t necessarily fit into either of the above categories, but it’s too cute not to mention.
- Promote your services and your ideals with these adorable Mini Gift Packs. They feature a recycled info card and a handmade seed paper shape that your clients can plant to always be reminded of your business.
Try implementing any or all of these ideas into your marketing plans to give our planet a little love and show people that you support environmental causes❤️ And don’t forget – these can all be custom imprinted with your logo, so you get the added benefit of free marketing when people see these products in public!
