5 Essential Questions for Green Sourcing




Are you planning on sourcing green premiums and giveaways for 2012? If so, keep some basic questions in mind when selecting your green premium and promoting an all-green message. Here are 5 questions you should ask your green vendor when planning your green marketing/giveaway campaign:


1. Are the materials you use recyclable, recycled and/or biodegradable?
2. Do the materials have eco-certifications? In what way are they green?
3. Does the factory producing the goods have any green certification?
4. What colors or dyes do you use for printing? Are they non-toxic dyes?
5. What steps does your vendor take for giving back to green causes? Are there any causes that the purchase of your products will benefit?
