The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is Thursday, April 22, 2010. Demonstrate your organization’s environmental commitment with products that promote your company’s message while helping to keep Mother Earth clean. Need some ideas?
- Offer a special Earth Day 2010 limited edition reusable tote bag and give them away free to customers on that day when they spend a certain dollar amount.
- Give away free reusable grocery bags to the first 100 customers (or more!) that come through the door on Earth Day. Better yet, team up with a complementary business for a cross-promotion with punch—and more name recognition through greater distribution.
- Offer an assortment of environmentally friendly tee shirts, reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and other green gear for sale. Take it one step further and donate a percentage of sales to a local Earth-friendly organization.
- In 2006, Americans drank about 167 bottles of water each but only recycled an average of 23 percent. That leaves 38 billion water bottles in landfills. Host a plastic bottle drive. Invite others to trade in empty plastic bottles in exchange for a free (or discounted) reusable water bottle.
The key to a successful Earth Day is to start planning now! As with any promotion, you ideally want enough time to receive product samples, ensure your choices are in stock, and avoid last-minute rush charges. Our sister company, Funman Promotions offers a wide selection of eco friendly products like organic cotton tee shirts, gardening aprons and cloth shopping bags, stainless steel reusable water bottles, ceramic mugs, and much more—perfect for customers, employees, or resale.
