It’s In The Bag! Why Totes Make Great Business Gifts

Tote bags with your company’s name and logo are among the most popular of imprinted products. Why? Because they’re the kind of gift that keeps your name out in front of potential customers for months to come.

Totes make your company most visible. Consider the plight of the person at a trade show collecting samples from table to table, ending up with a pile of pamphlets, business cards, and promotional items. He’s balancing an armful of stuff when he picks up your company’s business gift: a tote. Now he not only has a place to conveniently carry his loot, but all those other company logos are inside yours. Your logo is the one visible as the trade show visitor continues on his way. That’s smart advertising.

Totes are versatile. Among imprinted products, the tote bag is possibly the most likely item to be used for multiple purposes. Tote bags will be taken home and reused by other members of the family for school, sporting events, and shopping trips. Your tote will end up carrying sack lunches and library books. And wherever the tote goes, your company’s logo and contact information goes along.

Totes offer variety. You can choose from a wide range of tote materials, from imprinted vinyl to eco-friendly recycled cotton fibers, depending on your budget and the message you want to convey. You’ll also get to choose the right color to match your company’s products.

Totes give you a BIG advertising space. Depending on your company’s logo, some of the details might be lost if you have to shrink it down. Logo keytags might only have room for your company contact info. But on a tote, you can have several square inches to show your logo and other information.

Looking for an imprinted product that’s bound to make a big impact for months—or even years—to come? You can’t beat the versatile tote.

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.
Chacha search engine - Great suggestion Andy! I read about ChaCha in Inc or Business 2.0 a few months ago. They have an interesting story - I wonder how they are going to scale as they grow if they have to pay their guides. Have you had any experience using ChaCha?
Finding creativity - Great topic Andy! For me it's: - Going for a walk (I always try to get out at least once during the day) - Taking a shower - Reading business magazines (especially Inc and Business 2.0) - Late at night (I'm more productive / creative at night than during the day) - Relaxing with a drink at the bookstore
