Promotional Water Bottles Work!

April 9, 2014Promotion Ideas, Reusable Water Bottle TipsEnvironmental, Plastics Reduction, Printing IdeasBulletin Bottle

For years, we’ve been saying that people (and camels!) love free stuff! And they do! But, how long does that love affair last? Well, that depends on the product, Generally speaking, however, nearly half of the recipients keep it for a year or more!

Did you know that 53% of consumers use promotional products every week? Considering that water bottles can last for years—and be used every day—this bodes well for your promotional water bottles campaign!

The best part? 76% of people who own, say, a promotional water bottle, can remember where it came from and what the message is—whether they have it in front of them (which is kind of cheating…) or not! That’s money well spent.

So, if you’ve been kicking around the idea of using promotional water bottles for your company, school, or nonprofit…chances are your project will be well received AND remembered for a long time to come.

Recycled, Recyclable, Reusable—What’s the Difference, Anyway?

February 15, 2014Reusable Water Bottle TipsEnvironmental, Events, Plastics Reduction, SustainabilityBulletin Bottle

November 15 has marked America Recycles Day since 1997. It’s the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States.
