Frontiers in Bagvertising
We've seen many creative promotional bag designs over the years. Designer Karl Lagerfeld kicks things up a notch with a bag handle that mimics his distinctive sunglasses....
Hair Handle
Nothing like grabbing a handful of human hair in order to open a door. At least, that's what I always say. I find this promotion unappealing, although I've seen worse promotions involving human hair. In contrast, this very similar use...
Magical Bagvertising
In this, our bajillionth post about bagvertising, we feature a clever, but probably really uncomfortable bag. The dummy handles hand to the sides while the user holds the bag with nigh invisible fishing line. Thus to onlookers, the bag looks...
Japanese Promos: Reusable Shopping Bags
Japan is a fairly densely populated group of islands without a whole lot of natural resources, so it's not surprising that they're really advanced when it comes to stuff like recycling. However, they are also really into nice packaging (after...
Plastic Bag Projects
So, while smart, eco-conscious retailers and consumers are switching to reusable grocery and shopping bags, you may be wondering what can be done about the millions of disposable plastic bags we've already got hanging around. Terracycle has some ideas, and...
Unique Recycled Bag Promotion
Tom Szaky from TerraCycle reports on a unique promotion done by Newsweek, Target & Terracycle. Basically, the cover of a Newsweek issue was designed to convert into a postage-paid mailer and readers could fill it with plastic bags and send...
Bagvertising: Canderel Backpack Cinches Up
Okay, so we've done a lot of posts about bagvetising, but this one's pretty good, if you can get over the fact that it's so shallow. Basically, by cinching up the bag, you can make the "waistline" smaller, which is...
Bagvertising: Hot Bags & Bag News
Bags: you pretty much can't live without 'em. But you can stop stores from giving them out for free, which is what China is doing, effective June 1st. Following the footsteps of Ireland, China is banning shops from handing out...
Apple Fans: Hairvertising and Crochetvertising
I know we've discussed headvertising before, a couple times in fact. But that, like wristvertising, involved brand tattooing. Hairvertising just involves the hair, which turns out to be a fairly versatile promotional tool itself. Of course, some people prefer working...
Bagvertising Unlimited: What's Good for the Goose...
I could be grumpy because these folks are trying to put me off my foie gras, but fair is fair and I can respect the rights of waterfowl. At any rate, I give kudos to an awareness promotion that is...
Bagvertising Unlimited: Necklace Upsell
Here's the perfect way to your clothing customers on some jewelry. Perhaps the bag can't make the sale, but it's sure to get them thinking. Another great execution of a handle doing double duty....
Bagvertising Unlimited: A Real Nail Biter
Here's a terrific bag promoting Stop n' Grow, a product that discourages nail biting by making your nails bitter. Perhaps there is a perfect promotion for every product in the world, but Stop n' Grow definitely found theirs....
Bagvertising Unlimited: Hair Carry
The execution on these haircare product bags is phenomenal. They take your normal shopping gift bag and turn it on its head with braided "hair" handles. Extra points for doing bags in different hair colors....
Bagvertising Unlimited: Romantic Bag
This one's a real HAND bag, he he he. I'm not sure what the original purpose was, but the bag makes it look like you're holding hands. With your bag....
Bagvertising Unlimited: Food Drive
I really love this bag. Designed to raise hunger awareness and to actually show people they can do something about it. Food placed in the bag ends up being "held" in the arms of the woman printed on the bag...
Bagvertising Unlimited: Burka Style
Here's an interesting bagvertising example from Europe, where P Magazine used these distinctive, burka-style bags to make a point women's freedom to express themselves in some Muslim countries. The fact that the trick mostly works with fashion magazines and men's...
Bagvertising Unlimited: Heavy Lifting
Bagvertising is something that we've featured a lot in the past, but there's so much bag-related creativity out there I can't help but do a quick series of posts on some great bagvertising we've haven't had a chance to feature...
Six-pack Abs Bag
Ah, bagvertising! Here's a clever custom Wheaties bag that will either inspire you to get in shape, or inspire you to carry a bag in front of you wherever you go....
Blood Bag Drives Donations for Red Cross
We've done lots of posts about how something as simple and inexpensive as a paper or plastic bag can make a big impact as a promotional product. The humble imprinted bag can raise awareness about things as diverse as autism,...
Creative Bag Raises Awareness of Autism
Images of this creative bag have surfaced around the web and it's definitely a worthy addition to some of my previous bagvertising posts. Thsi particular bag was created to raise awareness about autism and promote a program that helps children...
Nosey Cupvertising
If you can make creative shopping bags, why not do something cool with disposable cups? (via HOW ADVERTISING SPOILED ME)...
Another Creative Shopping Bag
Another great custom plastic shopping bag, this time by Panadol Extra, a pain reliever sold in the UK. Once again, this example shows how some design creativity can turn something mundane into an engaging brand experience. Previously, we featured...
Bagvertising Revisited
Another great custom bag, and this time it's a (jump) rope handled bag. (from Twenty Four via the adverlab)...
