About a month ago, we lost a bid by $250 for 30,000 customized bags. The client was focused strictly on the bottom line and didn’t take into consideration the experience (or lack thereof) of the lowest bidder.

We offer lots of reusable lunch bags to print your logo on. For the most part, it’s fairly easy to spot the differences between them (material, shape, size, etc). However, we have two bags—the Snack Tote and the Insulated Therm-o-Snack—that seem pretty similar on the surface. In this staff review, we explain the differences so you can decide which is the better fit for your organization’s needs. Continue reading
Bulletin Bag [.com] is SO excited to announce that Bagamajig is here and ready to ship! The brainchild of our founder, Suzette Bergeron, the Bagamajig carabiner keychain is the handiest reusable bag organizer there is!

Last month, Texas-based H-E-B ran a contest in honor of Earth Day. The grocery chain held an open call for videos depicting how shoppers remember to bring reusable bags.
The top ten submissions were posted and the public had an opportunity to vote for their favorite video. The winner, to be announced on Earth Day, April 22, takes home $5000 AND $5000 for an environmental nonprofit of their choosing.
The contest comes at an interesting time, as we at Bulletin Bag [.com] have our own special way to remember to bring reusable bags and are gearing up to share it with all of you very soon!
While voting for your favorite submission has ended, you can still view all ten finalists on H-E-B’s website.

We all know why to use reusable grocery bags over plastic and paper single use bags. But, we also need to remember that this shift in buyer behaviors is also forcing a shift in the way our cashiers and baggers do their job.

It’s a great time to start planning for winter fundraisers, promotions and holiday gifting. Here are some ideas on how to use custom printed reusable grocery bags to green Mother Earth through the New Year. 
Jumpstart retail sales by having customized reusable bags for sale (or free with purchase) in your store. Shoppers can use them to carry holiday gifts, and you can create an incentive to shop in your store with a reusable bag promotion. Try offering a percentage off when customers bring in your reusable bag, or offer a free reusable bag custom printed with your logo for a sale over a certain dollar amount.
