Don't' you think it's time people stopped paying Lip Service to green issues when planning marketing and promotional products campaigns and started thinking about selecting truly green products?
To help you weave the green message throughout your corporate communications here are 5 Simple Tips for being Truly Green:
1. Choose suppliers that are looking to educate you on every element of the product - what claims are the manufacturer's making? Are they certified organic, Fair Trade, biodegradable?
2. Be demanding of your suppliers - let them know that a green message sent from the heart will be felt by all recipients!
3. Spend a little more if you need to - to get Truly Green products and get your message to stand up! Spend $1 on 500 items instead of 0.50 cents on 1000 items - you will get noticed
