Promotional Bags Blog

The economy isn’t looking so hot right now, which is leading many businesses to look for budget-friendly ways of advertising their company. When it comes to inexpensive promotional bags, there are plenty of options at your disposal. One of the coolest ones I’ve come across is this cooler lunch bag and water bottle combo set. For as little as four bucks and change apiece, you can give each one of your clients and employees a branded lunch bag AND a branded water bottle that they’re likely to use on a daily basis. The multi-item combo set offers double the exposure potential for your logo, and is a practical and useful gift for just about everyone.

With only one week to go until the November 4th U.S. Presidential elections, polls seem to show that Senator Barack Obama has a slight edge over his opponent John McCain. I guess this news is what inspired the creation of this promotional tote bag, which features an imprint that boasts of Obama’s impending victory: “Barack Obama - It’s in the bag!” While this outcome does seem promising, it’s important for everyone to get out and vote anyway — no matter who you support! And if you’d like to take advantage of the high-visibility of imprinted tote bags, for political purposes or otherwise, you can easily have your logo imprinted on bags of your own.

Promotional bags are a great place to put your logo or marketing message, but I think there’s a limit where you have to just stop..and it’s barf bag advertising. Take a look at this picture I found on Flickr, which shows how far promo bag advertising has come. Even the barf bags on planes are being auctioned off to companies looking for the competitive edge! Something tells me that associating your logo with nausea may not be the best way to get a return on your investment.

There aren’t many bags that have “pop culture” status, but Bloomingdale’s “brown bags,” are definitely an exception. Bloomingdale’s doesn’t even put their name on these famous promotional shopping bags, yet everyone knows where they’re from - a testament to the huge success and popularity of the bags. They’ve been around since 1922. Now, Bloomingdale’s is updating their shopping bags for the 21st century. Instead of paper, there are now tote bag versions of brown bag, which are reusable and therefore a great eco-friendly alternative. There’s no doubt that shoppers will flock to these new tote bags and carry the tradition well into the future.

Things aren’t very pretty on Wall Street, but the same cannot be said for this beautiful bear market tote bag! This promotional bag puts a light-hearted spin on an otherwise stressful financial situation. This type of “current events” humor is appreciated at a time when people are grateful to have something to smile about! You can use imprinted tote bags to advertise your business however you’d like, or simply come up with a funny bag that can be re-sold as a fundraising item.
