The Promotional Tree Growing Kit is a branded product that has the ability to fight climate change, reduce pollution and combat deforestation. That may sound a little exaggerated, however more now than ever businesses are considering eco gifts over traditional alternatives in a bid to promote Corporate Social Responsibility and to communicate their green credentials.

The Forest Nation Promotional Tree Growing Kit is a truly unique promotional product that offers tangible benefits to the client, end-user and the general community. For every Tree Growing Kit sold, another tree will be planted in a developing country – Haiti, Malawi, India, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, Uganda, Kenya. Local tree planting partners use local methods to plant local trees, providing a gift for the local populations and helping them to become sustainable. There are no commercial plantations, carbon offsetting or tax credits.

So how does it work? Inside your biodegradable Promotional Tree Growing Kit is everything you need to grow your own tree including 6 to 10 locally selected seeds. Nothing has been overlooked, the kit is 100% biodegradable and compostable from the growing pellet and pot made from renewable natural resources to the corn starch wrapper. Even the instruction booklet is made from recycled paper, naturally.

The tree could be planted in your garden or perhaps somewhere within the local community for instance in the grounds of a local school or as part of a local government program to reduce pollution and noise. There may be an opportunity to work in conjunction with local farmers or on local reforestation projects. The marketing potential is ongoing.

The Promotional Tree Growing Kit is not just a tangible branded product, it is also an interactive corporate gift. The user can register online, using a unique code, where they can add their tree to the map as well as being able to see where the ‘other’ tree is planted.

The potential applications for the Promotional Tree Growing Kit are huge. It can be used as a gift with purchase and sponsorships, for education and fundraising, as a co-branded statement for your company values, to generate leads and to use within loyalty programs.

We are always pleased when a new innovation comes along in the promotional merchandise world and we feel the Big Gdock is just that. For some time we have championed the original Gdock as a fantastic “desktop billboard” to hold, dock and charge any mobile device. Enter “stage right” the big brother of the family, the Big Gdock, which has been specifically designed for Tablets (such as the iPad) and eReaders.

The Big Gdock has all the benefits of the original Gdock including access for cables and chargers. It will comfortably hold any tablet in landscape orientation with a reinforced base. It will keep the device handy, away from areas where accidental damage could occur and at an optimum viewing angle. It is portable, folds down flat and is perfect for home or office use (or both).

See below for a video review of the Big Gdock by a client :

With the huge amount of expensive iPad and tablet accessories on the market, the Big Gdock provides a low cost alternative that can be combined with powerful branding on a large printable area (210 x 220mm). The possibilities of communication are endless and brands can combine all elements of their latest campaign or message push on this unique “desktop billboard”.

As mentioned the Big Gdock is presented flat packed for self-assembly and this opens up a large number of potential uses. This is an ideal direct message piece, but could equally be used as an event giveaway or “gift with purchase” idea. It ticks the boxes for most product marketing and promotion.

The Eco message is also very strong with the Big Gdock. It is made from recyclable board and is also fully recyclable. It is light (155g) and the folded dimensions are 210 x 280 x 5mm, making it easy to post.

Brands are constantly on the lookout for products that are seen to keep up with the needs of modern technology. The Big Gdock not only does this incredibly effectively, but it is such a cost effective solution.

There is a high focus on the reusable shopping bags. “Bags for life” are hugely popular in both the retail and promotional markets. Therefore step forward the newest eco shopping bag to hit the market, the “EcoHandle Reusable Bag”. This durable, compact product has some of the best features we have ever seen in the eco bag range, and we couldn’t wait to start talking about it.

Firstly, the categorization as an Eco shopping bag comes from the fact that this bag is reusable over a significant period of time and the plastic is recyclable. There is a nylon bag stored within the EcoHandle itself. When removed, the handles of this bag are hooked over the slots on the plastic unit, forming this great Eco Shopping bag. In this “single bag” format, the EcoHandle is lightweight, can fit easily into a pocket, handbag or glove compartment, is easy to store and is water repellent. The benefit of the plastic handle on this Eco Shopping bag is that it is kind to your hands, when carrying heavier items.

The fantastic additional benefit of this eco shopping bag is that is can carry up to three additional shop issue carrier bags using the open slot design at each end. This allows the easy and effective transporting of multiple bags at the same time, without the “cutting” into the hand that this can traditionally cause.

The EcoHandle itself comes in 5 standard colours (red, orange, green, pink and grey) and the canvas eco shopping bag that is then housed inside the handle comes in 6 colour choices (red, orange, green, pink, black and white). Bespoke bag colours are subject to a higher minimum quantity, but are still possible. The bag can be printed up to full colour to both sides of the bag and the minimum quantities on the stock range of this eco shopping bag is 1000 pieces.  Lead times currently stand at five to six weeks, and this is mainly on the back of high demand.

As an alternative to the cotton eco shopping bags, this is certainly a premium product and does work out more expensive, but the key benefits highlighted above make the EcoHandle stand out when looking at choices of reusable eco shopping bags.

Markets of interest for this product are obviously general shopping, but could also be great for events, sport, gym and it would also be ideal for use as a travel or beach accessory. It really is an eco shopping bag with many possibilities.

Should the EcoHandle eco shopping bag be something you would like more information on (pricing, samples or a visual), please contact a member of the sales team who will be happy to answer any questions and deal with your enquiry.
