DO GOOD & SAVE MONEY with this LESS is MORE product

All mailers are looking for ways to save money and still promote environmentalism!

ANNOUNCING a new line of reusable envelopes that will SAVE money while benefiting the environment. Account statements, monthly billings, donation requests, membership solicitations, renewals, and more can be sent in a single reusable ecoEnvelope.

Technology has improved so much in our lives yet we all still use the same envelopes from generations ago! Sending one envelope instead of 2 is just good business. By eliminating the reply envelope you save on envelope and related mailing costs. ecoEnvelopes are easier to use for your customers and position you as an environmental leader. A real win/win/win for you, your customer and the environment.

So why haven’t we heard about this before? Well the technology has been around for awhile but the last thing your envelope manufacturer wants to do is sell fewer products. What incentive did they have to sell or market a product like this? None, in fact they still don’t. That is why ecoEnvelopes, an environmental organization has developed these products and why Bann Business Solutions, a sales distribution company have partnered with them to bring you this message.

Now you too can SEND THE RIGHT MESSAGE with every envelope. Reusing an envelope might seem like a small step to reduce your footprint on the environment but it is something we can easily do. Through our combined efforts we can have a huge impact and it all starts with more opportunities to make responsible purchasing decisions.

ecoEnvelopes were designed with large mailers in mind but now there are opportunities for even some smaller and medium size mailers to also incorporate their usage. USPS approved, ecoEnvelopes are designed to run seamlessly thru existing high speed inserters and postal equipment. Pitney Bowes, Bell & Howell, Kern, Mastercraft, Neopost, Opex, and others.

ecoEnvelopes offer unique marketing opportunities to position your organization as one that believes in “doing well while doing good”. You can use some of your saving to print trans-promotional information on the open space of the outgoing envelope. Our patch envelopes offers a unique patch which when torn off reveals the return address, coupon, survey, or other promotional/remittance concept. All of that with the valuable original contact information on the reverse side.

ecoEnvelopes are easier to use and simpler to open than traditional envelopes and use 50% less paper. They are made exclusively on FSC (Forest Service Certified) or SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) papers with up to 100% PCW (Post Consumer Waste). Based on the calculations from the independent Center for Environmental Innovation, each million ecoEnvelopes mailed will result in the reduction of 37,000 lbs of carbon emissions, 250 million BTU’s of energy and saves 23 tons of wood.

Traditionally going green meant spending more, in many cases you can spend up to 400% more on a green printed product. With the ecoEnvelope you will be eliminating the need for a return envelope and the cost of one envelope is going to be less then the cost of two. How much depends on your given specifications but this is another example where less (paper) is equal to more (savings).

Thomas Friedman, the MN born New York Times columnist and author was quoted saying “Green is the new Red, White and Blue”. Regardless of your political or environmental position it can’t be argued that ecoEnvelopes is good business.

For any business the bottom line is always either does it reduce cost? And or can we market it? The resounding answer on both questions is YES!
