Why Go Local With Eco?
"Eco-friendly" is the new black in the business world. You've probably seen cotton tote bags at a trade fair ... perhaps a bunch of recycled-cotton lanyards at a company function ... maybe a co-worker even won a solar-powered cell-phone charger in a company contest! Of course, this is good for our planet -- and your customers as well. However, there's one thing you may not have considered: Were those products purchased from a local company?
Many companies believe that ordering from a large national chain is good for the bottom line -- and this goes for eco-friendly products as well. While it's true that larger companies may offer lower prices, there are many advantages to going with a homegrown promotional-products company:
-- The business owner knows their suppliers well -- and can often get things done a lot quicker simply by knowing who to ask and where to go;
-- The business owner will work WITH you -- developing a bag or notebook to your specifications, explaining which colors would be best, showing you the best choices for your particular situation, delivering things on YOUR schedule;
-- You will receive more personalized service -- as well as easier access to a live person if your notebook's logo colors are wrong or those pens weren't exactly up to snuff.
In this global economy, it's important to remember that personalized service and local suppliers will pay off down the line in terms of increased sales, customer satisfaction, and knowing your message is presented in the best light.

The Buzz about Bees.
Special News From Wright Choice Promotions!
As an effort to support the environment as well as our committment to Social Responsibility, Wright Choice Promotions has donated our first hive of Honey Bees through Heifer International. Our donation will help a family in a developing nation provide an income from selling wax, honey and pollen.
As an extra bonus, as bees search for nectar, they pollinate plants. Placed strategically, beehives can as much as double some fruit and vegetable yields. In this way, a beehive can be a boost to a whole village.
We plan to continue to purchase bees throughout the year. We'll keep you posted!
SPECIAL:
A tube of lip balm will be used over 100 times - that's 100 or more exposures for your company logo or message!
FREE setup on all orders of Natural Beeswax Lip Balm through the end of the year! (A $45 value)

Bamboo - 7 reasons to look at bamboo
1, Bamboo grows rapidly and naturally without any pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
2, Bamboo clothing is 100% biodegradable and can be completely decomposed in the soil by micro-organisms and sunlight without decomposing into any pollutants.
3, Growing bamboo improves soil quality and helps rebuild eroded soil.
4, Bamboo grows naturally without the need for agricultural tending.
5, Bamboo plantations are large factories for photosynthesis which reduces greenhouse gases. Bamboo absorbs about 5 times the amount of carbon dioxide and produces about 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.
6, Bamboo fabrics and clothing can be manufactured and produced without any chemical additives.
7, There are no known genetically modified organisms (GMO) variants of bamboo.

What a shame the US missed the opportunity to work with this inventor. But I'm happy that New Zealand is supporting recycling.
