This upcoming year will mark my four year anniversary as a stay at home mom. Before I made the decision to stay home I was involved in marketing. One of my favorite projects was planning national conferences. It was soooo much fun. From picking the hotels to choosing colors for the name badges I had a blast. One year I planned a Fiesta themed conference and it was hosted at one of my favorite resorts in the world, La Posada. I remember having maracas imprinted with my company’s logo and giving them to all the attendees as a promo. It took me months to find those darn maracas. 
Picking promotional products was a big part of my job so I was excited to run across a promotional products firm today that actually offers green promotional products! They have an entire large section dedicated to awareness items and I am telling you…these categories did not exist so readily 4 years ago or I would have jumped all over them. In 4 years a lot has changed in marketing…it has gone green. I know some people think this is a bad thing (aka greenwashing) but as a marketer at heart I can’t help but get excited that green is becoming mainstream now. Perhaps very soon I won’t be referred to as an environmental wacko on some community forums where I hang out (not kidding). 
So what about you? How do you feel about this evolution?

Hey Tiffany,
If you like recycled promotional items, you should also check out Central Ohio’s Weisenbach Specialty Printing at:
http://www.recycledproducts.com/
With promotions, as with everything in life, all things in moderation. No matter how “green” the product, I wouldn’t want to order and distribute mountains of potentially useless and throwaway swag…
