I almost titled this particular post, “Why I’m so excited about our new Click bags because they are the best bags ever,” but that seemed a little long. That said, here’s why I’m so excited about Click’s new reusable bags and why they are the Best Bags Ever.

The Click re-usable bag: Big enough for a Survival Kit, a Guide, and whatever else suits your fancy.

Anyone in marketing can tell you, finding the right promotional items for your brand or product can be a challenge. As someone who has been brainstorming promo items for clients for years, I have found that it’s often tricky to find the thing that’s worth putting a logo on. It has to be clever and timely, and if you’re lucky it will also be a quality product or thing you can actually use.

When we were putting together Survival Kits for our clients for San Diego Comic-Con this year, the number one thing I wanted to include was a reusable bag. I use them all the time, not just for groceries but for all of my shopping. I take them to Target, I take them to the mall, I use them for my dry cleaning, I use them for everything. As a result, I’ve tried a variety of different reusable bags, and have become picky about what constitues a Quality Bag.

My favorites, by far, are made by Envirosax. They meet all of my criteria:

• They’re big & strong–They can hold a full bag of groceries, including the heavy stuff, and they last forever. I gave one to a friend stuffed with food when her daughter was born. Her daughter is now three, and the bag still goes with them everywhere.
• They’re washable–If you’re using reusable bags for groceries, you have to be able to wash them. Putting food in unwashed reusable bags is just gross.
• They’re good looking–You can get a huge variety of colors & patterns to suit your style. My personal favorite is a sharp olive green with a bright white Click logo, of course.
• They’re super portable–They roll up so small they fit in the palm of your hand. You can stash them in your purse, glove compartment, pockets, almost anywhere, then just unfurl them when you need them. This is particularly clutch for Comic-Con, because it means you don’t have to carry around a bag you can fit a person in all weekend just in case you find a treat you want to find and bring home with you. You can just pop your reusable bag in your pocket, then fill it with toys & swag ’til your heart’s content.

I have at least 3 of these in my purse at all times.

So when I discovered that I could the Click logo on an Envirosax bag, I was thrilled. (Why yes, it IS possible to geek out over more than just movies & comics.) If you were lucky enough to get a bag from us this year, now you know why we were so excited to share these this year. And if you don’t have one yet, then you have one day left to enter to win, or you can play Bingo with us this weekend for a chance of one of your very own. Good luck! Trust me, you really want one of these.
