As a leader in sustainable and eco-friendly promotional products, we’re always looking for ways to minimize the footprint of marketing, event and corporate merchandise. We’ve built a great line of organic, recycled and up-cycled products for custom branding, and we also provide our clients with ways for them to connect and reward their staff, clients, donors and volunteers without having to send an actual ‘product’ through the use of digital gifts. Even the most sustainable products can gather dust or go unused if the recipient doesn’t need or want it.
We’ve profiled ideas like edible gifts and sustainable holiday gifting to help with choosing better corporate gifts. We’re always sharing simple ways to create sustainable gifts that include ‘free’ things like a handwritten note and zero waste ideas like a travel mug.
But recently, we’ve been digging into digital rewards which enable recipients to download a digital gift.
