Getting Branded and Saving the Earth

Since I launched the new web site with the new logo, I've been busy getting new branding materials together -- stickers, signage, postcards, that sort of thing.  I've even had t-shirts done!  I always like to wear my t-shirt when I'm setting up my booth for a craft show.


But what I'm really grooving on are the tote bags for groceries, which I've mentioned before ....




I'm going to be using both of these as promotional items throughout the year, and I like that they promote recycling.  At shows, I'm noticing a lot of people bringing in their own shopping bags, so I've not had to hand out as much plastic.  And having a nice water bottle is such a good idea!

I created these items at Cafe Press (my shop is here), and if you're in business, you can create your own marketing materials there as well!  It's one more step to setting yourself apart from the rest.

  1. Wow - love the materials you are using. I had to send the link to Cafe Press to mom and ask, "Can we do this too"?
    Thanks for sharing this information Lori!
    Have a great week!

  3. LUUUUURVE those Sigg bottles! And the bags really too and the tees. It's been so long since I checked out Cafe Press, they got some nicer products than I remember. My man is a screenprinter and I've contemplated doing the bags for fairs as a given away with a certain purchase.

  6. Oh, I do love your logo/brand. I do a monthly art market and it is amazing how many people bring their own bags. So I basically just wrap things up in recylable newsprint and hand it off.

  9. Those are great! I've had a CafePress store for years but haven't done anything with it in years -- still, stuff sells every now and then, which is cool! I think I need to make myself some Tees with my shop name, too! I'm gonna put that on my list!
