Saturday, June 20th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

It’s no surprise that wholesale eco friendly products are stealing the market share like some Earth friendly Bonnie and Clyde. Lesser known to wholesalers but definitely a huge customer trend is the desire for eco friendly baby products. Parents want to pass on their values to their children, so why not start them from the crib with an environmentally friendly attitude? For your eco-friendly consumers, try these popular wholesale eco friendly baby products.

Actually, eco friendly baby bedding is made of recycled materials, fibers constructed from soybean byproducts, and organic cotton and other certified organic materials. These materials make eco friendly baby blankets and bedding healthy for baby and keeps parents happy.

Swaddled In Eco Friendly Baby Clothing

Eco friendly baby clothing is sweeping stores.

Plus, these clothes stand up better to eco friendly detergents. If flair and fashion are important also, try wholesale eco friendly baby clothing.

Homegrown Baby, Organic Baby Products

Organic and natural baby products are also considered eco friendly. Wholesale baby products like these can consist many things such as organic baby formula made of natural products, organic baby food, organic cotton diapers and a wide range of other baby products.

Eco-Friendly Containers Are All The Rage With Trendy Consumers

It’s probably a shock to no one that eco-friendly containers are sweeping the nation as a leader among popular containers. It’s also no surprise that environmentally friendly containers come in several forms, making them easy to find and easy to love. When looking for the wholesale eco-friendly products that will get your customers excited, take a look at eco-friendly containers like these.

Biodegradable containers – are great because they are made of materials that break down faster, leaving less clutter and waste in our landfills. Environmentally conscious consumers tend to stray from plastic things because they break down much slower. Offering biodegradable containers alongside standard gardening pots and other containers will keep your eco-friendly consumers happy while avoid alienating this valuable niche.

Recyled containers – are extremely popular because they are made of materials that would otherwise go to waste. Soybeans can now be restructured into food, clothing, candles and containers. Other fibrous materials can be used to make containers for a variety of purposes. Recycled plastic containers are just some of the many options for your customers. Others include containers made of recycled aluminum cans, plastic soda bottles, glass and more.

Even basket and papier mache containers will satisfy the desires of your eco-friendly consumers. The most important things to look for when shopping for these “green” products are:

  • Organic or eco-friendly certification – Though some may not have this, it’s always valuable to check the origin of the products to ensure that they are truly living up to their eco-friendly label.
  • Functionality and quality – Most eco-friendly containers are every bit as good if not better than their standard counterparts. However, as with shopping for regular containers, consider the design and certification when purchasing wholesale eco-friendly containers.
  • Memorable quality – are the wholesale eco-friendly containers you have in mind easy to brag about? Eco-friendly consumers love to say “check out what this is made of!” If you can find something memorable, functional, and certified–you’re on your way to making your “green” customers very happy.

If your store is going green or your customers are favoring an eco-friendly lifestyle, consider eco-friendly containers. They’re hugely popular because they can be used in just as many ways as standard containers. Gardening, planting, holding keys or spare change…whatever the function, eco-friendly containers are where it’s at among consumers in 2009.

Also, soybeans are being used to create quality fibers that is already being used in clothing. These materials can be found on many porch swing cushions, chair covers and other outdoor furnishings.

It’s not just garden furniture that has eco-friendly consumers turning their heads. Environmentally friendly garden and patio products such as eco-friendly insect repellant and animal repellant are also rising to popularity. These products eliminate the pests at the family cookout but without the guilt of harming the creatures or polluting the air.

Other eco-friendly garden products that trendy consumers love are things like recyclable planters, environmentally friendly landscaping timbers, whiskey barrels and other containers. These types of planters and garden containers are just as durable as plastic planters but are more quickly reduced to their natural sources. Eco-friendly containers and garden planters are commonly formed of wood or other biodegradable materials that allow easier decomposition. In this way, these gardening favorites are no threat when left in a landfill.

Who Else Wants Eco-Friendly Toys for Kids?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

The secret to getting a child to learn is teaching them the lesson in small increments. For your customers teaching their children the value of living a “green” lifestyle, the first step begins by playing. Idbids® knows well that children learn best by doing; more specifically by playing. With kids in mind, Idbids created their childrens’ eco-friendly guide designed to help kids learn by example but capture their interest through activity.

The Idbids Starter Kit consists of several award winning eco friendly toys. Children are allowed to choose Waverly the bright blue water drop, Lola the flower, or Scout the cloud– 9″ plush toys handcrafted of organic Egyptian cotton.

Also included in the starter kit are a backpack made of organic cotton, a photographic story and activity book printed on recycled paper, and access to an online rewards program that allows parents to print a Certificate of Completion for when the child completes the Field Guide. This kind of stuff excites the kid in everyone, so it is easy to imagine how much fun a child would have with these products.

Imagine the faces of the parent and child as they sit and play with the plush toy together. Parents can rest well knowing that the 100% organic cotton is dyed with natural organic dyes. Plus, a portion of the purchase of each Idbid toy will be contributed to The Nature Conservancy. Also with the purchase of each kit, children are given a code to enter online that will help protect the habitats of animals through The Nature Conservancy’s Plant A Billion Trees campaign, Adopt An Acre®, ore Rescue The Reef® programs. Eco friendly and charitable!

Sitting and playing in the living room floor means a lot to children. It’s learning by example, quality time with parents, and an opportunity for parents to use a product that they trust to teach their child about an important lifestyle.

Eco-friendly parents are loyal to a fault to the stores that they trust, and for two good reasons. First, once a proud parent always a proud parent. The child’s welfare comes first and the products have to be top notch because no risk should be taken with someone so precious. Secondly, environmentally conscious buyers are a growing niche who look to those who share their values. The same way that friends buy from friends is the type of loyalty shown through these customers. Help them return to your store with these really fun eco-friendly kids toys.
