Become a Sustainable Sales Pro With Raining Rose Promos

Raining Rose Promos is sharing everything you need to know to speak to your clients about why sustainability is a crucial promotional product feature, how to differentiate between different eco-friendly qualities, and which supplier credentials are essential to look for to ensure truly positive environmental and socially responsible practices.

Why Sustainable Products Matter

Educate clients on the positive impact sustainable items will have on their business, brand goals and the planet at large.

  • Reduce "Brandfill"

    High-quality, recyclable products will be held onto longer and produce less waste, which combats the negative perception some consumers may have of promo products being low-quality and thrown away often.

  • High Perceived Value

    Consumers view sustainable products as premium items that are worth paying more for. Recipients will recognize they got a top-quality product, which increases brand appreciation and also shows your clients can be counted on for quality.

  • Sustainable Company Initiatives

    Many businesses want to ramp up environmental efforts but don’t know where to start. Suggest these clients swap out non-sustainable promos with sustainable alternatives for a simple way to make progress on eco-friendly goals for very little effort.

  • Consumer Expectations

    Today’s consumers don’t just appreciate sustainable goods; they expect them. Many end-users will simply avoid engaging with a brand if the brand doesn't offer eco-friendly items. Make sure this doesn’t happen to your clients by recommending they invest in sustainable promos instead.

  • Appeal to Young Demographics

    Gen Z and millennials are leading the charge on environmental efforts and care deeply about protecting our planet into the future. If your clients want to appeal to younger generations, investing in sustainable promos is an absolute must.

How To Identify Eco-Friendly Ingredients

Now that we understand how there’s a growing demand for promos made from natural, sustainable and organic ingredients, let’s unpack exactly what each term means.

  • Natural

    The Encyclopedia of Common Natural Ingredients defines a natural product as one that is "derived from plant, animal or microbial sources." Simply put, it means that the product has ingredients that come from a living organism. This makes for a cost-effective way to provide clients with naturally derived items without them needing to pay more upfront for the accreditations that come with stricter labels.

  • Sustainable

    Sustainable items are made in a way that can be maintained. Think of ingredients that are derived from renewable resources that reduce or eliminate pollutants, produce minimal waste, or don't disrupt ecological balance when harvested.

  • Organic

    Organic verification refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed, as outlined by USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) organic regulations. Per the USDA, this distinction includes factors such as soil quality, animal raising practices, pest and weed control, and use of additives.

What To Look for in a Sustainable Supplier

Look for suppliers who have defined environmental and social responsibility goals and have made the extra investment in roles and certifications to back them up, such as the credentials below.

LEED-Certified Buildings
  • LEED-Certified Buildings

    Short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, this certification is given out by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to identify buildings that meet optimal standards for areas like carbon, energy, water, waste, transportation, materials, health and indoor environmental quality.

certified b corporation logo
  • Certified B Corporation

    To achieve this certification, a business must undergo a lengthy audit process where the nonprofit B Lab scrutinizes its legal structure, supply chain practices, philanthropy, customer relations and employee engagement. The business must also pass a risk review, demonstrating high social and environmental performance, and commit to allowing their performance to continue to be measured and be publicly available on their B Corp profile.
