4.    If I buy your custom grocery bags in bulk, what discounts do you offer?

 

We offer a significant variety of discounts on our custom shopping bags depending on materials and the amount of bags purchased. Our most standard discount is free shipping on any order over $75. For bags listed at a price-per-bag as low as under $1.00, that discount applies to most orders of 50+ items or more.

 

Our tiered pricing model incorporates discounts for larger bulk orders, regardless of whether you are shopping for custom grocery bags with logos or just blank wholesale bulk reusable bags. As you increase the quantity of reusable bags in your order, the percentage discounted increases. Simply put, the larger your order, the more you can save!

 

In the “Print Method” section of our product pages, you will be able to find the exact discount your set of bags will receive depending on the quantity ordered. You will also be able to see the exact price-per-bag with the inclusion of the discount. Many of our bags have maximum discounts in the range of 60%, while some bags with more expensive materials can see discounts as high as 70% depending on the amount purchased.

 

These discounts will apply regardless of whether you choose to print your bag with a logo, full color, or simply leave them blank.

 

5.    Do you have any customer feedback available for your custom grocery bags?

 

Each of our product pages includes a customer review section that includes star ratings and written feedback from each of our verified purchasers. We are proud to say that each of our custom shopping bag products with at least five reviews retain a customer feedback score of at least 90% based on star ratings. Our reusable grocery tote bags—the most popular product of that bunch—boast nearly 350 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars.

 

If you are for some reason unsatisfied with your purchase, we encourage you to include your email address when submitting your review so that we can resolve your issue directly. We take great care and pride in resolving all customer complaints to the fullest extent possible.

 

6.    What are some of the advantages of custom grocery bags over bags I could get at the store for free?

 

There are several perks to buying our custom shopping bags as opposed to using the throwaway bags often offered at many retail locations such as grocery stores. For one, even our custom plastic grocery bags are eligible for many years of reuse after your initial purchase. Even for those that make weekly trips to the grocery store only, this can dramatically reduce impact on the environment by eliminating roughly 50 weeks-worth of plastic bags every year.

 

Our bags can also save you money in cities states where additional shopping bag costs or taxes may apply. For those planning to use our bags as party favor or promotional giveaways, you will also be passing on these environmental and financial savings benefits to all of your guests or participants. They are sure to appreciate a high-quality and long-lasting gift, and their weekly use of your bag also ensures more exposure for your logo or brand!

Why Wholesale Custom Bags Are a Great Business Strategy

 

Customized and branded merchandise can serve as a powerful promotional tool for a company. Whether a business chooses to sell promotional items or distribute them for free, they help get eyes on a brand. This is why suppliers of promotional items in the U.S. have brought in around $24 billion the last two years. 

 

The benefits of using merchandise to market a company tend to outweigh the costs. Placing your company logo on items like custom grocery bags is a smart strategy. Not only will it build customer loyalty with those using the merchandise, but it will grab the attention of new consumers.

 

There are numerous types of customized items your brand can leverage to expand its reach. However, tote bags or custom foldable reusable bags are particularly effective for a few reasons.

 

So, why exactly should companies take advantage of custom grocery bags?

- Better for the Planet - using reusable grocery bags helps increase recycling and reduce waste

- Environmentally Friendly - the majority of our reusable grocery bags are made from recyclable materials

- A Long-Term Marketing Strategy - reusable grocery bags won’t be easily lost like a pen or pencil

- Free Brand Ambassadors - by offering customers free or discounted custom grocery bags, your company is essentially gaining free brand ambassadors

- A Practical Way to Get Noticed - personalized grocery bags with your company’s logo/branding will help spread awareness about your brand, whilst adding value to people’s lives in a practical way

- A One-Time Cost - unlike online advertising, buying custom grocery bags in bulk is a one-time investment - like the gift that keeps on giving!

 

Here’s why your company should invest in branded, reusable grocery bags — and buy in bulk:

Custom Grocery Bags Are Reusable

 

Longevity is another factor to consider when purchasing and branding wholesale items. This is why pens, while having a universal appeal, are a less effective item to buy in bulk. Consumers are more likely to lose merchandise that’s smaller and easier to replace. 

 

Custom grocery shopping bags, however, tend to have a longer lifespan. Consumers are more likely to use such items until they break. Assuming they’re made with high-quality material, that should take a while. This reusability makes these promotional items worth investing in.

 

The reusable nature of custom grocery bags will result in consumers showing off your logo more frequently as well. For example, let’s say an individual goes grocery shopping every week and brings your reusable grocery bags every time. That’s four times per month someone will be showing off your brand’s logo in public.

 

Free Publicity

 

Free or cheap publicity is something every brand would like to obtain. With marketing tools like custom grocery bags, your company is essentially gaining free brand ambassadors. Your item solves a problem for your customers. Meanwhile, your customers show off your logo and company information each time they leave the house with your merchandise.

 

This is another reason reusable grocery bags are a better choice than items like mugs, pens, or notebooks. Although it’s possible customers will bring the latter items to work with them, there’s also a chance they’ll leave them sitting at home. That won’t help draw attention to your brand any more than a business card sitting in their wallet.

 

The beauty of reusable grocery bags is that they’re designed to carry items outside of the household. You know when you’re buying them that they’ll see the light of day — and thus, get your brand in front of more potential customers.

 

They Fill a Universal Need

 

Although branded clothing and accessories appeal to consumers, they can require buyers to purchase them in multiple sizes and styles to appeal to everyone. 

 

Wholesale custom grocery bags, on the other hand, have a universal appeal. Let’s face it, everyone needs to purchase groceries. That means just about everyone needs to transport those groceries from the store to their home.

 

And the need for reusable grocery bags is likely to increase moving forward. Plastic bag bans are going into effect in many places, meaning shoppers will need to bring their own bags. Through custom grocery bags, you aren’t just marketing your company; you’re also offering a solution to a problem!
