Whole Foods Eliminates Plastic Bags by Earth Day
Announcing Bulletin Bag [.com] – A New Reusable Bag Company
January 18, 2008: Suzette Bergeron, Owner of Funman Promotions, launches a new venture: Bulletin Bag [.com]! After a lifetime of using reusable bags, a career in promotional merchandise and more than six months of observing and researching the reusable bag movement, on January 18, 2008, Future Bulletins LLC was incorporated with the State of Maine Department of Corporations.
Bulletin Bag [.com] fills a need in the market for a reusable bag company that offers a variety of reusable grocery bags designed to be printed with business or nonprofit logos . Most other reusable bag companies offer just one or two styles of bag, and cater to the retail market.
We like to say that Bulletin Bag [.com] is Good News for the Planet, because our bags are typically purchased by businesses or nonprofits — then given away free, or used as part of a fundraiser.
These environmentally friendly advertising vehicles provide an opportunity for companies to promote their commitment to the environment while building brand awareness.
