Eco-Jackets

Happy Rainy Monday!

With all the rain we've been getting lately, I have (unfortunately) been keeping a coat by my side at all times.

I am lucky enough that we have a pretty lenient dress code here at NEC. Of course we dress appropriately for meetings, but when we are not on the road most of us are in casual clothes and flip flops.

I have noticed that companies have loosened up there dress codes as well; Casual Friday are now pretty standard across the board. Now my clients are able to wear more casual - dare I say - fashionable jackets and apparel to work.

A few "eco-jackets" that caught my eye are from our Boardroom Collection ( check them out on our website) The Ladies Stow-Away, the Men's Straight Cut Jacket and the Men's Plasma Schell Jacket are 3 "green" options that are made of 100% recycled polyester (post-consumer recycled plastics).

Price points vary by style, but if it's outerwear that you are thinking about ordering for a company outing or as an employee gift, you are sure to find great ideas on our website.

As always, feel free to contact Beth or Allyson directly if you have any questions or need new ideas! 603-964-6840.

Stay dry!

Summer Green Ideas

Welcome to the first blog for Northeast Creations!

Beth, Rachel and I decided it would be fun to blog every couple weeks about new promotional ideas (both green and traditional) as well as ideas about how to become more Environmentally Friendly at work and at home.

Hopefully these blogs will pique your interest and give you new ideas on how to become more green in your home and work life too!

A couple of unique products that I have come across and thought, "Hey, I'd use that!" is an imprintable gardening kit with work gloves, a trowel, weed puller and more, a very cute customizable straw hat (think Aussie style, fedoras and bucket styles), and a logoed Home Conservation Kit that includes a water timer, fluorescent light bulb and a Eco-Home converse booklet. ( You can search for all of these green ideas and more on our website, http://www.necreations.com/. )

These ideas are great promotional products for companies large and small because they are items that people actually want, will take home and use and will show their friends. With so many current and potentially new customers making the shift toward being more conscious about the Earth, it makes sense to give them tools to help them out... of course with your logo on them!

I hope to pour over my promotional item and imprintable apparel catalogs this week so I will have new ideas to share in my next blog.

Of course, if you have any questions feel free to contact Beth or Allyson directly at 603-964-6840 or email beth@necreations.com or amoreau@necreations.com.

Have a great week!
