With the "going green" movement, all the grocery stores are selling the reusable canvas grocery bags. Wondering if anyone has purchased any of these with branded information and given them to clients and prospects. Seems like a good continued exposure situation since everyone shops for groceries each week.

I think that's a great idea... in our area you see more and more of them and it's an excellent way to keep your name out there.

Do you have a source for the product, and if so, what does the pricing look like?

I know a local school that just used this company.

I have no idea on how competitive their pricing is. May be something worth checking out.

I am hoping someone in the forum may have ordered some and would share the name of the company.

http://www.onebagatatime.com/index.p...=product&pid=9 - their prices seem quite reasonable, would probably have to find a local print / design company to do the imprinting of the advertising - but $1.50 or so, does not seem to bad per bag to me, and promoting something worthwhile, even if you only get limited exposure (Although it has great potential)

Here is a company we use for our canvas beach bags. They seem a little more expensive then oneatatime.com for grocery bags. The unit price is about $1.69.

I have canvas bags that I bought from Piggly Wiggly in South Carolina over 30 years ago...

that was way back when we were going to run out of paper.

Have they lasted 30 years due to being well constructed or do you just not use them that much?

Actually, one of them is in the trunk of my car... it keeps the flares and jumper cables in one place. I don't know how the new ones are made, but these were made with pretty substantial canvas.

Eddy & Kevin - Thanks for the links. That's a great idea, especially to give out to past clients or for farming an area. I live in an area that is really into the green movement and conservation...I think it would do well here. Thanks guys.
