Your ad on the side of the bag.
You pay for the bags. A local business hands them out free. Your ad goes home with every customer who walks out the door.
Here is the whole idea.
Every store hands out bags. Every bag costs the store money. And every bag is blank.
So you buy the bags for the store, and your ad goes on the side. The store saves money. You get in front of their customers. Nobody had to cut down a tree.
Pay for the bags
You cover the cost of the bags. In return you get the whole side of every single one.
Gets them free
They say yes because bags are a real cost they already pay. Free bags is an easy yes.
Takes it home
They carry your ad out of the store, into the car, and onto the kitchen counter.
What happens after you say yes.
You tell us a budget.
Not a bag count. You have no reason to know what a bag costs. Say a number and where you want to be seen, and we tell you how many bags that buys.
We show you the bag.
We put your ad on it and send you a picture of the real thing. Nothing gets printed until you look at it and say go.
We print them and place them.
The bags go to stores where your customers already shop. Free to the store. You do not deliver anything or talk to anyone.
You watch the scans.
The QR code on the bag is yours. Every scan is a person who saw your ad and did something about it.
A billboard gets three seconds. This gets a week.
- The whole side of the bagNot a small logo in the corner. Your artwork, up to two colors.
- A QR code you can trackIt is dynamic, so you see every scan and capture the customer on the other side.
- It goes homeOut of the store, into the car, onto the counter. It sits there for days.
- A picture before you commitWe show you the bag with your ad on it before anything is made.
You can see the hemp in it.
The paper is full of tiny speckles — little dark flecks of hemp fiber textured right into the sheet. That is the plant. It is not a print effect.
Ordinary bags get bleached flat because they are made from trees and stripped down to nothing. Ours keeps the fiber, so nobody has to take your word for what it is made of.
This is already running.
A credit union paid. A grocery chain hands them out.
Hawaii State Federal Credit Union sponsored 25,000 bags. They are in select Safeway stores in Hawaii right now, carrying the credit union's offer and a QR code.
Sponsor · Retailer
A national brand paid. A retail network handed them out.
Turning Point Brands sponsored 70,000 bags. Different industry, same model: the brand paid, the stores handed them out, every bag carried a code back to the sponsor.
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
Do not worry about a bag count. Tell us what you want to spend and where you want to be seen, and we tell you how many bags that buys and show you the bag.
Why would a business say yes?
Hemp paper costs more than tree paper. Sponsorship removes that. They get a bag they would never buy at full price, and you get a place to put your ad that is not for sale as advertising.
Who gets the bags?
Local businesses, retailers, schools, and food banks. Name who you want, or tell us the kind of place and we will match you.
Is it a charitable donation?
No. Treat it as marketing spend, not a write-off. Your accountant will want to know that up front.
