Sell This Product - Grocery Totes

Filed under: Sell This Product

If you’re looking for premium quality at a value price, tout this terrific tote.

The BG125 Atlas Grocery Tote from Jetline (asi/63344) was designed to satisfy the growing demand for a value-based alternative to the supplier’s massively successful BG110 – Titan Grocery Tote, according to Joe Hoffman, director of marketing. “The Titan is our original recyclable grocery tote and is a terrific match for end-users looking for the strength and durability that the premium 100gsm non-woven material offers,” he says.
 
“Many distributors requested a similar product that was easier to sell to an end-user base that was less concerned about specs and more focused on value. We went back to the drawing board and rebuilt the product as a slightly more compact, more affordable version of the Titan without sacrificing the core qualities of the original,” Hoffman adds. Hence the Atlas Grocery Tote.

The Atlas Tote can be sold in a wide variety of markets due to the intrinsic value of a durable and functional product. “We see a wide range of markets represented in the bag and tote work that passes through our plant: public health awareness, credit unions, schools and universities, trade shows, sports and event marketing and more. The recyclable bag market hits on the sweet spot of the promotional success equation – value, durability of message and association with a positive social trend,” Hoffman says. “The fact that our entire non-woven polypropylene bag line is recyclable and reusable in an age of global awareness is a terrific selling point, especially when paired with an attractive price point.”

Hoffman advises distributors to take a look at ASI’s Advertising Specialties Impressions Study, available on asicentral.com, which highlights many of the qualities that make bags such a great match for the promotional industry. Bags are functional, durable and deliver an ongoing positive association with the end-user’s promotional message.

“The next step would be to highlight the selling points of the Atlas Tote – value, color selection and the established selling history of the grocery tote in the industry,” he says. Color selection is a critical point – the Atlas is available in 12 colors, which means greater flexibility for the distributor salesperson.

With the Atlas Tote, the end-user receives a bag with most of the qualities and perceived value of the premium tote offering at a significant discount.
