This holiday season, why not celebrate with a “green” message? That’s right – look for ways to make your clients feel special and at peace with the world. Give environmentally sound holiday gifts. There are many promotional options available that can make a point about your company’s care for the planet.

There are, for example, plenty of recycled products to choose from this year. Recycled plastics have been made into everything from ice scrapers to mugs. Recycled cotton makes t-shirts all the more appealing as gifts for the environmentally conscious. And recycled paper creates the perfect blank slate for notepads, holiday cards, calendars and diaries.

Biodegradable gifts are another option, also making a positive mark with the green-minded. We know a company that offers a range of items created out of corn resin – from bookmarks to canisters that you can then fill with holiday peppermints. Or, go natural with live tree seedlings mailed in a tube to the recipient.

Make it easier for your customers to live green in the New Year with a green-lifestyle gift. Retailers, for example, can gift burlap or hemp shopping totes to their customers so that they can avoid using plastic bags in the future. Or, fill recycled paper gift-bags with a few organic herbal soaps and spa products with a message revolving around the hope that your client has a stress-free, healthy holiday.

The key to all these gift programs is to tie in your holiday wishes with the concept of care for the planet. Take the opportunity to make your gesture a symbol of your company’s excellent corporate citizenship. After all, 91% of Americans say they have a more positive image of a company that is environmentally responsible (according to the 2007 Cone Consumer Environmental Survey). That perception leads to increased consumer loyalty.

There are countless ways to make your holiday gift fresh, thoughtful and environmentally friendly. Give us a call at 708-478-8222 or send us an e-mail and we’ll find the right choice for your target audience.
