Our sister company thehouse decided last year that rather than giving away the usual corporate Christmas gifts, they would give something with a bit more meaning. So rather fittingly, they gave a house. Not just any old house, mind you – a tiny piece of real estate that made a particularly big statement about what they stand for. Instead of receiving boxes of chocolates or packets of nuts, their clients got tiny boxes of bricks and miniscule packets of cement. thehouse then donated the gift money to Habitat for Humanity – a charity that puts roofs over peoples’ heads, all over the world. Clients loved their 1-inch second homes. It was a gift that made a lasting impression in many different ways.
Sun Microsystems chose Re-Sourceful to promote their company to both clients and students. Their choice of a Twig memory stick is a useful and ‘memorable’ gift. They are sourced in mainland Europe and are created from hand finished wood, which means each are biodegradable, sustainable and completely unique. Make a mark, not a footprint.
The Visit Chester and Cheshire Tourist Board used Re-Sourceful’s biodegradable flying disks to promote use of green spaces. Being biodegradable reflects the board’s green credentials and should any get lost in trees and bushes they will biodegrade within 9 months. Manufactured in the UK from a bio-compostable material made from over 80% sustainable crop material and non oil-based products it ticks all your eco boxes whilst still being an entertaining and useful giveaway.
If you want a promotional gift that literally does help tidy the world, give your clients this MAG desk tidy. Every single desk tidy helps British landmine clearance charity MAG (Mines Advisory Group) clear one square metre of land, transforming minefields in to useful, valuable land for some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people. Encourage your customers to tidy their lives and tidy the world.
Plastic bags polluting the sea have a devastating effect on marine wildlife each year. Artist Rebecca Crawford has created beautiful and inspiring work born out of the plastic litter the artist combs off the coast of Cornwall. Sponsor a group of children to collect litter from the beaches and work with environmental artists and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors to develop an environmental and educational sales development programme.
