Making Reusable Bags a Habit!

Reusable Bag Tips

Earlier this week a survey in a USA Today snapshot poll showed some interesting statistics.  Readers were asked how often they “Bring Their Own Bag” to the grocery store.  Here are the results:
10% Always
19% Frequently
32% Occasionally
That leaves almost 40% who NEVER bring their own bag.  It makes you wonder — will the mainstream public ever catch on the  Bring You Own Bag movement?

Reusable Bag Fundraising Program

Bulletin Bag Products, Promotion Ideas, ,

Our reusable bag contest generated overwhelming support from area schools, teachers and parents who are looking for ways to engage children in environmental awareness.  This prompted Bulletin Bag to develop a new Reusable Bag Fundraising program for schools, church groups, youth groups and nonprofits.

Reusable bag fundraisers provide a fantastic vehicle to raise money, raise awareness about the environment and build support and pride in the nonprofit.  Friends, family and community members will feel good about the environment while supporting the charitable cause.

Several bags are now available at Bulletin Bag [.com] at reduced prices for fundraisers. Bags are printed with the nonprofit logo, or artwork designed specifically for the bag. The bags are re-sold at a 50% profit margin, providing a fun, feel-good and profitable fundraising experience.
