The Business Advantages of Promotional Shopping Bags
Branding benefits
Every company wants brand recognition and brand awareness, but as new competition keeps appearing daily on this global market, this goal is harder and harder to reach. That’s where branded promotional shopping bags come in. With clever placement and a good design of the print, promotional shopping bags can help increase brand awareness significantly. Another plus? You can use these whether you’re a foundation, an organisation, a business, or a charity.
What’s significant for you is the fact that these branded shopping bags will create brand advocates. If your design stands out, people will use these bags repeatedly, and they will become a walking ad for your company. And, the last but not the least essential branding benefit of printed shopping bags – people who get them will become loyal to your brand. Research has shown that 9 out of 10 people will remember your brand, and 8 out of 10 will remember your message.
Marketing benefits
The more people carry your printed shopper bags around, the more free exposure you get. It’s that simple. People who get them will become your walking billboards. They will carry them to the grocery store, to work, and in the process, dozens, if not hundreds of people will see them and notice your brand, logo and message. That’s the cheapest marketing you can imagine, and it’s better than any flyer, leaflet or simple advertisement.
Use custom branded bags to spread the word about your sales, events, social media campaigns, as well as anything else that comes to mind.
Help to improve your company’s image and the environment
Branded shopping bags are manufactured out of eco-friendly materials. Even people who don’t recycle themselves appreciate that a company paid attention to the environment, not to mention those who care about the planet. Simple printed shopping bags are enough for you to show your potential clients, customers, or partners that you are looking to contribute to our planet’s well-being. That will help you build trust in your company.
Some of the most popular eco-friendly bags are our Short Handled Unbleached Natural Cotton Tote Bags and Groombridge Natural Cotton Canvas Tote Bags. If you are looking for something with a bit more colour, look at our Charlesworth Non-Woven Convention Bags which are available in a massive range of colours to compliment your corporate branding.
Unique, versatile, and customisable
What people love about these is the fact that reusable foldable shopping bags are incredibly sturdy and versatile. You can put one in your pocket, backpack, or purse. It can be used as a grocery bag instead of a purse or as a nifty laptop bag. Their durability guarantees that the people you give these to will use them for a long time.
Shopping bags are an empty canvas that you can put whatever you want on. That means you can create an eye-catching design that will get your message through to anyone who sees it. You can make something that people will want to use and that others will notice. Just be creative, and this marketing tool can have fast, overwhelmingly positive results.
Budget-friendly
Advertising is, in most cases, astonishingly expensive. YouTube ads can cost you a fortune, and SEO can turn into a budget nightmare, not to mention that hiring experts in these fields is resource-draining all on its own. Well, none of it is the case with shopping bags, they are cheap to make, and the more you order, the cheaper they are.
