After spending the past week at the PPAI Expo in Las Vegas (which is the largest new product tradeshow in the promotional industry) I'm happy to report that more and more of our suppliers are offering items made from sustainable and recycled materials. Even better news - the price difference is shrinking between "green" and traditional promotional products. Many of the new eco-friendly items are now just slightly higher in price than their traditional counterparts, which really needed to happen for earth friendly promos to become mainstream.
Today I want to tell you about a new eco-friendly version of an old swag favorite - the insulated can cooler (often called a can "koozie"). These are an old-school swag item with a new "green" twist - they are now available made of neoprene material that contains at least 85% post-consumer recycled content!
Eco Coolie: This is SUCH a new item that it's not even available until February 1st, but I wanted to be the very first to tell you about them. They look and perform like a traditional can coolie, keeping drinks cold and hands dry. They come in a rainbow of cool colors and have a nice large area for your custom logo imprint and/or message on both sides. Priced at under $2.00 for the traditional style shown here, they're a great way to promote your eco-friendly brand on a budget.
Out here in Portland, Oregon it seems everyone drinks microbrews these days - and most of those come in a bottle instead of a can. Eco Coolie has you covered with these cute and functional Eco Bottle Jerseys made from the same 85% recycled material. You can really get creative with these little fellas, and they're sure to draw attention to your logo at any event. While some may prefer the traditional style with sleeves, we also offer the Zippered Version as well, which is a little less cutsie looking (and perhaps a hair more practical?). Whichever style you choose, you can feel good knowing you're promoting your brand in an eco-friendly way.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...
Post-consumer recycled neoprene can be used to make lots of cool swag items besides drink insulators. One of my favorite NEW swag ideas for 2010 is this recycled cellphone keeper pouch, which comes in two sizes to fit most mobile devices. The larger size is shown here, which is just about perfect for an iPhone or other touch-screen devices.
The neoprene material is sturdy and protects the mobile device while keeping it close at hand. As you can see, this is a swag idea with great visual impact that will get your message noticed! It comes with the loop, split ring and carabiner clip as shown here, great for clipping to a belt loop, tote bag, purse or backpack. These are sold in low minimum quantities of 100 at a price that's easy on the budget. If you're looking for a fresh new swag idea for the mobile generation, this is a great eco-friendly choice.
These are our first new Ecoswag.com items for 2010, and there are a LOT more where these came from... and it may take a while for us to put all the new swag on the website. If you're looking for some new ideas, please feel free to give us a call. We'll be happy to give you some great suggestions for items to promote your brand in a sustainable way.
Thanks for reading & keep coming back for more great Ecoswag ideas!
That's so pretty the pouch in the last picture, These recycled products are awesome.

Just as people said, "life is like a book, how would you like to write, it's what kind of guide. So our personal attitude determines life. Certainly, we should really go through alot more meaningful publication, it can give us inspiration.
