With spring upon us, perhaps the most relevant eco-friendly promotional items to consider are those that can be planted - I’m happy to report that there are now many, many options available.  Whether you’re in to flowers, herbs, trees or plants, there is something out there that can be imprinted with your logo!  While seed packets have been, and remain, very popular because of their large ad space, low price point, and versatility - there are many additional goodies to consider…

Bamboo shoots are always a hit – after all, who can’t manage to remove it from the packaging and stick it in a glass of water, right?  You don’t need a green thumb to pull that off!  Seed sticks are fantastic if you need to be super thrifty – they’re cute little wood stakes, printed with your logo, that have several seeds adhered to the end with water-based glue – stick them in the dirt and watch them go!  There are several types of planter kits to choose from… you get the seeds (or live plant), the dirt, and a pot or can to put it in – no muss, no fuss, and keeps your logo around for a long time.

Of course there are the seeded paper items… bookmarks, die cut shapes, postcards, etc…  use them, then plant them - they’re fabulous!  Tree starters, called seedlings, come in a variety of packaging options – poly bags, clear tubes, cute pouches – you name it.  You can even get bean kits – the beans are engraved with your logo, and come with a little planter for your desk.  And one of my favorites… the custom printed Give a Tree cards that are printed on seeded paper — your recipients go to the designated web address on the card, enter their info, and a tree (or several) are planted in their honor.  Yeah!

I hope this overview of these affordable, wonderful, plantable options just made your green marketing efforts a little easier.

Be well ~  eco promos girl
