Eco-Chic Grocery totes

Posted by Michaela on December 5, 2008 at 5:00pm

I have been approached on several ocassions regarding making some eco-friendly grocery totes.I finally got a chance to sit down and really think about how big I would make a bag. I have been doing some research and most of the "handcrafted" bags I've seen on the market have been smaller, regular flat tote style bags. I wanted to incorporate the "tote" style into my design, but also make it really wide and functional for use as a grocery bag. I added sturdy cotton webbing handles, and double stitched all the seams for durability.Although I am very happy with the way this bag has turned out, my wonderful husband has given me numerous ideas on how I can better it. Let's just hope that I have the time to create the new styles soon.

Express Sincere Appreciation

Posted by Wyteria Jacobo on September 25, 2008 at 5:30am

Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans prefer a handwritten letter or greeting card to other forms of communication? It should not seem strange to you that in this Internet Age, our clients still require that personal touch. Consider this. Emails get deleted accidentally and voice messages are lost but a personal note is something your client can refer to over and over. If that message includes your business logo, those repeat impressions will help keep your brand "top of mind" to those who matter most--your customers.What could be better than a greeting card emblazoned with your logo? A greeting card emblazoned with your logo that includes a music CD branded with your logo. The card displays your logo in the following three places: front cover, inside, and back cover. Add those places to the logo on the compact disc and you have four impressions. As an added bonus, the back cover declares your company's commitment to the environment since these cards are printed on special eco-friendly paper.The true beauty of the CD greeting card, however, is it carries a higher perceived value than your basic greeting card. Clients know that greeting cards can run as low as 50 cents each at your local "Stuff for a Dollar" outlet. Don't risk offending your client base with a cheap greeting card. Go the extra mile and come off a hero just by sending a card.Ordering your cards is a cinch with WLB Enterprises. Visit GetMoreROI.net and click on the "Greeting Cards" tab. Next,select your CD/playlist. Then, determine how you would like to brand or personalize your card and CD. If you get stuck, we are just a phone call away at 1.877.667.7642. Be sure to ask about our CD cards for real estate and other markets. We are happy to send our greeting card catalog so you can shop at your leisure. Send your requests to sales@GetMoreROI.net.To Your Success!
