There are many promotional gifts to choose from, things that are practical, whimsical or unique and bear your name or logo. But few of these gifts make a lasting difference in the world. Few of them can truly make the world, and your customers' lives, better. One marketing item that can do all those things is promotional trees. Promotional trees are gifts that continue to give for years to come.



Gift trees are small saplings of different breeds of trees that are securely packed within a transparent plastic tube. Your corporate logo can be printed upon this tube as well as on the instruction pamphlet included inside the tube. Giving trees instead of pens, key chains or drink cozies demonstrates your understanding of the role of corporations in ecological responsibility. It will be clear to your customers that your business is committed not only to the well-being of the earth, but to the ongoing beauty of the local environment, as well. Neighborhoods with trees are the most beautiful and warm places to live, and your company can contribute to this long lasting pleasure in people's lives.

Depending on your company and its promotional needs, you can also give corporate trees in memory or honor of someone your customer requests. For example, instead of taking a tree sapling home and planting it themselves, your customer can have a tree planted in a national forest in honor of someone they love, a special occasion, or in memory of someone they have lost. This is an especially appropriate commemoration for church outreach projects, or for the fundraising endeavors of certain foundations, including those that provide resources for diseases or conditions. To plant a tree in honor of those who have died of that condition is to honor their memory forever, as well as to add to the funds available for research. Any of these activities can help the environment, honor those we care about, and present a positive image of your corporation.

Other promotional trees activities your company can participate in are Arbor Day, National Tree Day, or Earth Day. On each of these important days, corporate sponsors can provide promotional trees to be planted in the community or to be sent to national forests or areas whose trees have suffered from national disasters. Your company, as the sponsor of these events, can also provide other support, such as refreshments, equipment, and transportation for the participants. You can also sponsor other related community activities such as giving out personalized trees, litter clean ups, fund raising for environmental causes, and other events can give you priceless positive public exposure as well as helping the earth for generations to come.

Appropriate press releases and advertising, along with memorable promotional items, such as promotional trees that participants can plant in their own yards, can make this kind of corporate sponsorship a successful event for both you and your community. You are likely to gain news coverage and a positive reputation for being a caring and giving presence, both to your local community and to the world itself.
