Do You Remember When Retailers Started Offering Plastic Shopping Bags?
At the time, they seemed to be an ideal alternative to traditional brown paper. However, as the environmental and economic effect of plastic bags become increasingly apparent, environmentally minded consumers have been turning to a new alternative: reusable bags. These reusable bags are manufactured from a variety of post-consumer recycled materials, are relatively inexpensive (they usually sell for between $1 and $3 dollars) and can last for two years or more.
Here is the other part of the equation: smart retailers have been taking the opportunity to imprint their logos on these reusable bags. It is a form of advertising that is virtually free; each time a customer purchases a reusable bags from a specific retailer, that customer becomes a walking, talking billboard for that business. In fact, some retailers have found that simply giving these bags away is an excellent investment in advertising and promotion.
ECO-Friendly Promotional Bags

These bags even offer a special holder for that indispensably cell phone built right into the handle.
