One of the best things you can do for your brand in 2020 is to Go Green! As Millennials move take over a larger and larger share of buying dollars, it's important to remember that they care about our planet. How radical, right? Well, we do have to live on it you know! I mean, as of right now we can't beam ourselves anyplace else. I don't know what 2030 holds, and maybe we will be beaming all over the galaxy, but you know, I doubt it.
According to a Nielsen survey, 73 percent of Millennials prefer to work with socially responsible companies. Furthermore, 81 percent of Millennials expect their brands to make a public commitment to good corporate citizenship.
Snag Your Swag has always led on sustainable swag. We have always steered our clients away from swag that you see in the dumpsters exiting a trade show. This is really a no-brainer. It's bad for the planet! It clogs up our landfills! It's bad for your brand! What good is a promo item if no one is keeping it, using it, sharing it? Nothing. You just threw your money in that landfill along with the disposed of product.
With our Millennial-led curating team, we recognized very early on that stainless steel straws would create a frenzy, both on retail, and in the promo world. And they sure did. And they sure are still going strong. They aren't going away. Reusable straws will be stronger every year as we work to clean up our oceans and save marine life. So you can't go wrong with reusable straws, but eco-friendly means so much more.
Here are the top eco-friendly promotional products for your 2020 trade shows and events. Click on pictures for item details:

Reusable Water Bottles
Single use plastic water bottles have got to go, period. They are fast becoming the smoking of this century, and I expect that by the end of the 20's, they will be. Sooner. Think about it. One of the most high-profile callouts just occured weeks ago when Jason Momoa called out Chris Pratt on Instagram, because Pratt posed with a single use plastic water bottle. Yep, Aquaman himself is gonna be all over you. (Okay, that last part is just me daydreaming. Have you seen Jason Momoa?) Anyway, be like Aquaman and ditch the single use plastic.
