A Weakness for Journals

I am a writer. That means many things, including....a weakness for journals.

Confession: I currently don't keep a daily journal. I go in fits and starts, and right now is a fit. But I still have a weakness for the smell of paper and the clean white potential of a page. So when we get a couple samples of Journalbooks, I'm excited!

8 months ago I made this product video on a faux leather JournalBook called the Pedova (that journal a beaut):

 

 I didn't feel right about sniffing at the book cover in the video, but I like the smell of book. So I took a whiff off camera. 

This is a recycled cardboard Tuck Journal. It's currently on CLEARANCE!

I have one of these pocket bound Ambassador books in my purse, so I can jot down great ideas when my muse strikes. 

 

And this journal has crisp pages sandwiched between a cover of aluminum. Classy and unique!!

Do you keep a journal? What kinds of things do you jot down?

Real Promotions: Whole Foods Market Reusable Shopping Bag

I came across this Whole Foods Market bag. It's very large, non-woven and laminated. Here's a picture of it:



Whole Foods Market not only promotes their company, with their logo front and center, but they show how they feel about the environment, with their bold bag statement "I used to be a plastic bottle" above their logo. They even explain how this bag is "made from 80% post-consumer waste."



I would consider this promotion a success because:

1. The Whole Foods logo is prominent. People who use the bag and people who see the bag will be reminded of Whole Foods Market.

2. The recycled message appeals to Whole Foods consumers

3. The bag is made of laminated non-woven polypropylene which is durable, and the handles are re-enforced, so the bag will last.

4. The bag itself is a successful part of the promotions because it replaces plastic and paper disposable bags at the store, and so it is USEFUL to the Whole Foods customer.

Good job Whole Foods for a great promotion!



This Eco Message bag is similar to the Whole Foods bag: it is made from non-woven laminated polypropylene, and it has a full wrap of environmental designs that can surround a logo.
