5 Ways to Use Promotional Bags to Enhance Your Brand

Many people say – “I’ve got lots of bags, I don’t really need anymore”. Yet these are often the same people who call and ask to borrow one when they go away for a weekend or on a business trip. In the 2010 Global Advertising Specialties Impressions Study branded bags were shown to have the highest number of impressions in a month, over 1,000. In fact, over one-third (36%) of those with incomes under $50,000 own bags. Branded bags are useful items and here are 5 great ways that you can use them to Build Your Brand.

1. Sporting Events

Sponsorship of a sporting team has long been seen as a good way to get your name out to potential customers and also to show your support of your local community. Having your logo placed on a good quality sports bag or back pack for team players and supporters will ensure that your brand is highly visible. Not only this they travel! Yes, one thing you can count on is that a good bag will be seen in many places from airports and gyms to bobbing on children’s backs as they bike to school.

A canvas or non-woven tote bag printed with your logo gives trade show attendees a way to carry all the brochures and objects they’ve collected during the trade show. Because guests will carry your bag throughout the convention the bag doubles as a powerful moving billboard for your company. Better still choose to use a bag made from environmentally friendly products and show the public that your company cares for the environment.
