One of the sponsoring representatives of the bill, Liz Milwe, was quoted in the NY Times as saying, \u201cThe greatest thing that happened was after the six-month period was over, Stop &amp; Shop, who originally opposed the ban, had people clapping when customers remembered their reusable bags.\u201d Way to put aside your opposition to see the forest for the trees, so to speak!<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Weiser, another of the four sponsors estimates 600,000 fewer plastic bags have been used since the ban started. Under the new regulation, the town can impose a $150 fine on businesses that distribute plastic bags.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.tampabay.com\/moms\/2009\/10\/target-gives-new-meaning-to-nickel-bag-with-5-cents-off-deal.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Target is now giving a $0.05 credit for each reusable bag<\/a> you use in its stores. They don&#8217;t care where the bag came from or whose logo is on it (even yours!).\u00a0 This news has heated up the blogosphere! Just this incentive alone has created a HUGE PR buzz about Target\u2019s dedication to eliminating plastic bags. I bet the $0.05 incentive is cheaper that a lengthy PR and advertising campaign that may or may not result in customer loyalty the way this reusable grocery bag promotion will.<\/p>\n<p>CVS is in the process of rolling out a new card program, Green Bag Tag. It costs $0.99, which gives you a leaf-shaped scan card that you attach to a reusable bag. Each time you visit CVS and bring your reusable bag, your Green Bag Tag is scanned. For every fourth scan, the consumer earns a $1 Extra Care Buck. Incentive to bring your reusable shopping bags results in an incentive to return to the business. What a great way to build loyalty while being environmentally conscious!<\/p>\n<p>How does all this this increase your ROI on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/reusable-bag-promotions.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">reusable bag promotion<\/a> ? Every bag you custom imprint with your company\u2019s logo or message is out there somewhere. They have not been thrown away.
