Green Friendly Promotional Merchandise Is Red Hot

By Montgomery Preston

There are hundreds of different types of corporate gifts to choose from these days. Some are functional, some offer image promotion specifically, and some are known as being eco friendly. Some popular eco friendly gifts are notepads, mugs, mouse mats and clothing.

Eco friendly gifts send a message to your customers about your concern for the environment and the world around you. With so much emphasis placed on 'green' things these days, this can only be to your benefit. Clothing is probably the best eco friendly corporate gift you can offer to your clients.

If it is clothing you prefer, know that it can have cute, funny, or meaningful messages as well as your corporate logo. As advertising goes, it is definitely a way to get more consumers into your corporate shops. Corporate gifts are not just for the mass consumer. They can be geared towards specific clients you need to impress or for employees.

The corporate gifts even eco friendly gifts should be something that the consumer will enjoy. It should be specific to a target audience. The more sales you want the more important it is for you to use corporate gifts. The eco friendly side is just another benefit to the corporate gifts you are offering.

It is important that you purchase the highest quality promotional gifts that your budget will allow. If the product is distributed at a tradeshow for example, and your competitor gives the same gift of a lesser quality, guess which gift will be used and remembered? People won't wear ill fitting promotional clothing, and you certainly don't want to be remembered as the one who passed out promotional pens that ran out of ink in a week. Buy the best and market it proudly and you will have a successful promotion. - 16651
