Our New Buyer’s Guide To Reusable Bags

March 1, 2016 1:50 pm

Reusable bags are a major purchase for many organizations. This new Buyer’s Guide to Reusable Bags is an essential guide to making the most of your reusable bag purchase in six clicks or less.

One bag failure can ruin a customer’s whole day, and if your store name is on the bag that fails, the customer is not likely to forget it.

Whether you’re researching your first purchase of bags, facing a bag ban, or just looking to become a smarter bag buyer, you will find useful information in this Buyer’s Guide to Reusable Bags. In six illustrated pages, it reveals what you need to know including research on what customers want in a reusable bag, tips for creating better bag art, and technical information about fabric and bottom inserts.

When you put your branding on it, your bag represents your brand. It needs to be the best bag you can afford. Knowing how bags are made and what makes a good bag good can help you avoid common problems and result in a more successful bag program.

The Buyer’s Guide to Reusable Bags is available for free on-line and as a downloadable PDF.

I’ve Been Using Them for 12 Years!

I see your best seller guarantees 2 years of regular use – OMG – I’VE BEEN USING THEM FOR 12 YEARS! And still using them. I’ve used them weekly to go grocery store and washed them quarterly since I purchased them in 2004!! I haven’t purchased another bag since I bought yours.

I still use it to this day

I bought my first 1Bagatatime bag in 2005 from a local produce stand, Kordell's in Lake Oswego, OR. I still use it to this day in 2015 on a weekly basis. I thought it was a great idea then, and look, now every store asks "Do you have your reusable bags with you?"

The bags are exactly what we wanted

Every Earth Week, we give away 20,000 free custom reusable bags. 1 Bag at a Time is attentive and responsive and offers us great customer service! The bags are exactly what we wanted (and come in right on budget) and our customers look forward to them every year.

The quality of the bags is so good

The Mountain Lodge Telluride has been purchasing top quality bags from 1 Bag At a Time for the past 5 or 6 years. We use the bags as a marketing tool for our Lodge and give them away in each room upon arrival so our guests can use the bags for local shopping and therefore cut down on plastic bags contaminating our planet. The quality of the bags is so good people take them home and re-use them. We have images of our property along with our name and website. I have seen our bags in Australia, Europe, South America and all over the United States. They are very popular and the marketing value is unbeatable.

We love our 1 Bag at a Time

We (here at LifeSource Natural Foods) love our 1 Bag at a Time reuseable grocery bags. Because we change our color combination and/or design with each order, our customers collect them and use them whenever they shop elsewhere. And, the customer service is great, too!

Excellent customer service – with 1 Bag at a Time

At Harvest Co-op Market, we have been repeat customers for 10 years. We not only wanted a good quality, long lasting bag for environmental reasons, but we also wanted to be sure that workers were treated responsibly. We found both - along with excellent customer service - with 1 Bag at a Time
