Marketing Benefits of Carrier Bags

The carrier bag has become the norm when it comes to shopping. The ease of being able to ask for a bag in a store and avoid juggling goods on the way home has helped customers navigate easily through the otherwise tricky experience of shopping. Nearly every store has some kind of carrier bag, but as discussed below, branded carrier bags can achieve a lot for a business.

Aesthetic Value

A printed carrier bag simply looks better than plastic bags that are meant for one-time use. Printing logos and designs on bags suggests to customers that a business believes in its brands and customers and is willing to invest to ensure that everything looks aesthetically pleasing.

Marketing Benefits

The more customers consistently use promotional carrier bags, the more advertising exposure a business gets. Promotional carrier bags are similar to a walking billboard that everyone can see. When people carry such bags to work or to grocery stores, hundreds of people see them and notice the brand, logo and message. In a way such bags give life to a brand.

Sustainability

Creating carrier bags with eco-friendly materials gives them a green vibe. This shows that a business cares about the environment. Nowadays, consumers increasingly consider the environmental impact of things they use. Sustainable bags also highlight the fact that there are alternatives to traditional plastic bags. Such bags also create a positive brand image in the eyes of customers.

Durability

Canvas tote bags are the bags of choice for many marketers. They are strong, lightweight and durable. If such canvas bags have unique designs on them, customers will be enticed to shop so that they can get a carrier bag to keep as a souvenir. Easily foldable bags will have more customers reusing them. In such cases, bags end up being more than fleeting advertisements.

Brand Awareness and Recognition

The benefit of reusable shopping bags is that they will continuously be used and will be at the front of consumer’s minds. Grocery stores used to provide free plastic bags to customers. Now, these same stores have started to charge for bags. Hence, it is not uncommon to see customers bringing their own bags to stores. The lives of such customers can be made easier by ensuring that they always have a branded reusable shopping bag on hand .

Customizable

Reusable shopping bags can be personalized. From the materials used to the color and shape, carrier bags can effectively reflect the personality of a brand. A unique logo, a funny quote, or inspiring artwork can help generate interest, draw attention to a business, and drive growth. Customized carrier bags deliver a tactile experience. This leads to enhanced brand recognition.
