Looking for custom shopping bags for your organization? You’re not alone. The Promotional Products Association International has reported that, in the United States, custom reusable bags moved from the fourth to the third largest promotional product segment. Bag sales totaled $1.27 billion in 2011!
We’re not surprised. As more and more towns, cities, and municipalities seek ways to reduce plastic bag consumption, organizations have been running to snap up custom grocery bags to get in the hands of clients and prospects. We’ve been saying for quite a while how great reusable bags are for so many reasons (environmental ones aside). Custom shopping bags as tradeshow giveaways give loads of exposure at the event, combined with the exposure when the bags are reused over and over–providing impressions every time they’re used. Don’t remember us saying that? Read our blog from back in 2010: https://www.bulletinbag.com/blog/conference-bag-giveaways.html
Curious about the top five? They are: apparel, writing instruments, custom bags, calendars, and drinkware. Yep, our reusable water bottle division is being sought out because plastic bottle reduction is also top of mind for organizations looking to help the environment!
