Brand Building Is In The Bag

Bags are one of the most versatile, kept and used promotional products. We’ve mentioned how they’re great brand builders for schools and universities as well as all things fitness. But there’s so much more.

Add bags to employee onboarding programs to hold all the team-related merch you give new employees so they feel valued from the start. 

Does your company offer a hybrid work environment? Bags are essential for carrying tech gear between the home office and corporate HQ.

If you’re hosting trade shows, education conferences, annual sales meetings or any other in-person or virtual events, creating a swag bag for attendees is a great way to build anticipation pre-event and foster continued goodwill post-event. You can even use luxe bags as VIP gifts or for raffle drawings.

For retail businesses, an eye-catching bag can make an enticing gift-with-purchase. Plus, it can be used to hold the purchase and eliminate a single-use plastic bag.

Do you have sustainability initiatives and need environmentally conscious items to promote your brand? We’ve curated a selection of eco-friendly bags here.
