Top 6 Eco-Friendly Promotional Journals

Even in our digital age, there are still times when handwriting is preferable to texting or typing. Whether it’s for grocery lists, refrigerator reminders, office to-dos or maybe even the occasional love letter, longhand often takes the cake for personality and personalization. And when it comes to learning, studies prove that handwriting notes far exceeds typing a transcription every time. 

Here are several eco-friendly promotional journals that you’ll love not only because of how they’re sustainably manufactured but also because they look incredible when branded with your logo.

Making A Sustainable Statement With Eco-Friendly Promotional Journals

Because of their size, eco-friendly promotional journals make great giveaways or support materials for trade shows, education seminars, sales conferences and other corporate events where attendees need to take notes. You can also add them to gift baskets for new employee onboarding programs, or use them as leave-behind thank-you gifts for customer sales calls. 

They also make great promotional gifts for college students who have found that taking notes by hand is more effective for learning. And since eco-friendly promotional journals tend to be compact, you can easily create a “lumpy” direct mail campaign without breaking the bank on postage costs. 

Here’s another incentive for adding eco-friendly promotional journals to your lineup: 42% of people on average have a more favorable opinion of an advertiser if the promotional product they received was environmentally friendly? Yep, it’s true. Check out the facts here. This jumps to 49% if recipients are female and more than 57% if they are ages 18-34.
