Custom Nomad Tote

We wanted to invest in a giveaway that would share our message and reach new audiences. ChicoBag fits the bill perfectly. These bags are a high quality, attractive giveaway that reminds our audience about us and our commitment to the environment and suitability. The eco-friendly nature of re-usable bags was a great selling point, but we wanted bags that were ethically and sustainably sourced. For us, that was the ChicoBag difference. Many bags are available, but ChicoBags were at the top when it comes to design and sustainability. We thought the ChicoBag brand would also add interest for our customers. The problem ChicoBag products solved was offering SWAG we didn't need to feel guilty about.

We used ChicoBags as a thank you gift for our direct mail renewals and saw a 10% increase in average gift. We love the way our logo looks on ChicoBags. The printing is sharp and the colors are sophisticated. The green aspect of ChicoBags fits well with our members' interests.

We chose ChicoBag because it was a functional bag. Before we were using plastic bags or heavy paper. They both would fall apart and wasn't the keepsake item that ChicoBag is. We like that the customer could keep it, save the planet and have our logo constantly on their minds.

Cascade has seen an overwhelmingly positive response to our custom ChicoBag products. It has allowed us to differentiate our promotional items and provide our customers with something that is durable, unique, and environmentally conscious. It has been great working with ChicoBag and we look forward to spurring change and decreasing single-use bag habits in our industry.

We tried Chicobag because we were looking for a branded, environmentally-friendly gift to provide to our donors. We've stuck with ChicoBag because they're easy to work with, and our donors continuously show interest in receiving ChicoBags.

The ChicoBag stands alone, well above any on the market I’ve seen, especially these days. Not only in Quality, but Style, Versatility and Price. I look forward to many years of business with you!

We have used nearly all of the various ChicoBag products because our donors love them so much. They're the most successful premiums we've ever had because they are truly useful, extremely well made, environmentally friendly, and attractive. We find that our donors use them regularly so we get the benefit of seeing our logo out in the community in a way that we're proud of. I also love the size, the zippered pockets, the magnets that keep the flap in place. I use one as a purse!

ChicoBag provides us with an attractive, customized bag that champions the reduction of single-use waste. We diverted 99.8% of our solid waste from landfill, and ChicoBag—as well as the consumers who use and love them—helped us achieve that goal. We appreciate their premier customer service and love the consumer responses their product inspires.

We picked ChicoBag because of the following reasons: 
1 - Ease - ordering the volume of bags we wanted was super easy, not always the case with vendors. It was also extremely easy to get the colors we wanted (our Creative team is VERY specific about the green we use) 
2 - Brand - ChicoBag is like the Kleenex of re-usable bags. It's the most recognized and is almost synonymous with the product (the way someone says Kleenex but is actually referring to tissue or says Chapstick but is really referring to lip balm.) 
3 - Price for quality - I've been getting a lot of great feedback from the people we give the bags out to, they think they're amazing quality and they are not expensive at all considering the type of product we're receiving

Since we’ve gotten the bags, we’ve been giving them away to clients and associates, and everyone LOVES the bags. We almost always get a response similar to, “Oh, I’ve been meaning to buy these,” and it’s been a great marketing tool for us to have “Kimpton” branded on a bag that they will use again and again while shopping. I would definitely recommend ChicoBag as a great giveaway or client promo – it’s actually something that people will use and it’s a great way to brand the hotel as being eco-friendly.

As a car dealership, we know our customers like to receive gifts when they purchase their vehicle. We wanted to give something different and unique to our customers – we wanted something other than the usual boring dealership logo keychain …something “environmentally friendly”; …something they would actually like and use; …something that would display our company logo, to be seen by others. Our customers love their bright blue Chico Volkswagen ChicoBag they get when they buy their vehicle - and we see people using them all around town.

While looking for an item that promotes sustainability, we found that ChicoBags do the trick! The innovative styles and colors allowed us to create pieces that align with our brands and offer our consumers an environmentally friendly way to shop.

 The ChicoBags are a hit! They came out perfectly, and when I hand them out to our corporate volunteers and model how they work, they get so excited. My standard line is, "I'm always standing in line at Trader Joe's and realize I forgot my big ol' Trader Joe's bag in the car! Now I just reach into my purse and grab one of these so I don't use their bags (I can fit several in my purse). Plus I tell them that by using them, they're advertising Humane Society Silicon Valley around town. 

I was asked to bring my favorite promotional item with me to a conference last month. I brought the ChicoBag that’s imprinted with our logo. They are popular with our alumni, students, parents, and staff. Customer service from the company is outstanding, and they always meet our event deadlines.

We give a gift for donors who give at the “Wildlifer” level. This year we are offering the VITA rePETe ChicoBag. Our logo looks fantastic on ChicoBags. The printing is crisp and the logo pops off the bag. The material used for the bags fits perfectly with our program. It was a pleasure to work with the folks at ChicoBag, their customer service was outstanding! Highly recommended! 

We used ChicoBags as gifts for our Board of Directors and our staff at our annual staff retreat. Both groups have been very pleased with this handsome, functional, green, high-quality gift. It was great working with the ChicoBag team. The staff communicated clearly, made the process easy, had great suggestions, and was responsive to our changing needs throughout. 

Instead of just giving away the bags as a promo, they worked very well as packaging and branding of our product. In fact, I was inspired by ChicoBags commitment to the environment and also their keen interest in developing stylish reusable bags. These days, many consumer products (it could be a food item, children's toys, stationery- just about anything) are over-packaged. Rather than create a custom box (which would have been discarded by the customer anyways) for our handmade decorative product, we wrapped it in recyclable tissue paper and used the ChicoBags printed with our name and logo as packaging. The best part of about this is there is no packaging to discard from our product and the customer has a cool reusable bag- they'll always remember our name and product because of the ChicoBag!

The Chico snack bags are the most awesome upgrade to plastic bags. They are super high quality, washable and easy to pack. We also really love that you can put your branding/artwork and make a big splash when they are in use. I would highly recommend purchasing these and using them as a part of your swag portfolio. They are definitely a fan favorite across our internal team members and from consumers/buyers at trade shows!

At 4ocean, we have a single-use alternatives product category where our customers can purchase products that change their consumption habits while also pulling a pound of trash out of our oceans. After doing extensive research on reusable bags, ChiocBag's values and priorities really caught our eye since those are the same values we strive for as well. Additionally, we really appreciate straightforward product functionality and the use of recycled materials in the ChicoBag line. It was apparent to our organization that this collaboration was a perfect fit.

ChicoBag offers quality products that are a perfect match for our stores in the national parks of southeast Utah. Their dye sublimation process allowed us to use our own artwork for the areas we represent to create a custom product with great imagery that is functional and a great memento of the national parks. The rePETe bottle sling fits well with our sustainability program, and allows for carrying multiple sizes of water bottles, which enables the visitor to stay hydrated in our desert parks. Chico Bag is a wonderful partner with a great mission and commitment to the planet.

Team - the bags you designed for the Champions Retreat were INCREDIBLE! I have a closet full of ChicoBags and am almost to the point where I have enough. But one look at that sweet baby blue backpack with water bottle side pockets and I just could not resist. I saw them all over the place. One of our eldest (and most fashionable) B Lab staff just wouldn't take it off. It was such a hit and totally elevated our swag beyond the level of a Dreamforce conference. Our ChicoBags were way cooler.
