Austin, TX: With all the fuss and hoopla surrounding the Royal Wedding, it is the imprinted promotional products that are gaining a great deal of the fuss.

That’s right–Royal Wedding collectibles or swag are selling like crazy–which shows the inherent value of promotional products.

Do you have a retail establishment that can feature off beat or humorous graphics?  If so,  a line of T-shirts, caps, pens and other items might be a great way to promote your brand.  Restaurants and bars in tourist destinations have learned of the value of imprinted T-shirts and caps.

But how about vineyards, donut shops –any retailer can benefit from promotional products if they are of high quality and have fun graphics.

Are you planning a special event–anniversary celebration, trade show, etc.  The right promotional item with the right graphics can make this event memorable.

Talk to your promotional products distributor to see how they can help you brand your message and image — so that you get the most bang for your buck.

Lanyards are a staple for nearly every trade show– and you can get your company’s logo on every attendees neck by using them.  Donate to the trade show (some times in return for free booth space) and get your logoed lanyards handed out at the registration desk.

Our recycled lanyards come in a variety of widths — and price varies on whether they can be produced overseas (4-6 weeks) or domestically in under 2 weeks.

You can even choose the attachments at the ends of the lanyards.

For more information, contact Eco Marketing Solutions by phone (512-507-4709) by email  or online at www.ecoMarketingSolutions.com.

Many companies claim to be green.  Some offer products that they say are “eco-friendly” without understanding what makes a promotional item truly environmentally friendly.

1)    How well does your present promotional products supplier really understand the new FTC Green Guides and how it can affect your marketing claims?

2)    Do they provide certification on imported products to verify that the products are lead-free and/or free of harmful phthalates?

3)    Are they aware if cadmium levels in the inks?

4)    How do they vet their factories?

5)    Are they current with such recent legislation as the Buy American Act and the Berry Amendment.

6)    Are they making unsubstantiated claims of “green-ness”? For example on the three top green claims, do they:

• Claim an item is made from recycled materials?  If so, what percentage is recycled and is it from pre- or post-consumer streams?
• State that an item is recyclable when it no longer passes FTC guidelines?  The Green Guides address claims of recyclability and introduces a three-tiered analysis for disclosing the limited availability of recycling programs.
• Mention that an item is biodegradable when it actually takes longer than 12 months to completely break down?  FTC’s new Green Guides are aiming to qualify the term “ biodegradable” to mean that it will completely decompose is no more than one year after customary disposal.
• Is your current supplier making unqualified degradable claims for items destined for landfills.

Green washing is a serious issue, (not just legally, but also in terms of credibility and reputation) and you will want to partner with a company that understands the new FTC Green Guide proposals, watches for and learns of new green legislation, joins and leads in discussions on environmental issues, and takes the environmental issues seriously.

Eco Marketing Solutions understands green marketing and how it can impact an organization–both internally and externally.  Not knowing the rules does not exempt an organization from following the new guidelines.
