When companies give away tree seedlings or live plants with their company name and logo imprinted on the packaging, the message to prospective customers is that they care about the environment. The products are available online at www.AllSeasonsNursery.com.

Companies can order live tree saplings, bookmarks that bloom, and other plant items. The eco-friendly products are particularly popular at trade shows, according to Robert Piller, sales manager for AllSeasonsNursery.com.

"We have many clients that give a live tree seedling-in-a-tube to every customer that comes by their booth. They’ll usually wrap their sales flyer around the tube, and remind the prospect to plant the tree as soon as they get home. Invariably, the live tree seedling is the first item pulled out of the huge trade show bags, along with the company's flyer," states Piller.

"We have standing orders from many of our customers for 1,000-2,500 logoed trees-in-a-tube per trade show they exhibit at. We ship them fresh to arrive the day before the trade show begins," states Piller.

Customers should be looking for eco-friendly products that make their company look good, while also standing out from the other promotional clutter, such as ballpoint pens and key tags. The eco-gifts should also have a guarantee that live trees and plants will be healthy at the time of delivery and that the seeds will bloom.

Companies can promote themselves in an eco-friendly way without spending a lot of money. Not only do customers appreciate the gifts, but they also remember the company’s efforts to help preserve the environment. As global warming stays front and center in the daily news, companies that promote the environment will stand out from the crowd. What is good for the environment can also be good to a company's bottom line.
