Encouraging reuse of Messenger Bags
One of our best-selling products in recent years has been messenger bags – they’re really popular with students and young adults, so if your business is considering investment in a supply, perhaps to distribute at student social events or conferences, we’d like to give you a rough guide on how to get your clients to reuse them. Here’s some of the most popular things people carry in their messenger bags:
Books
As anyone who has been a student knows, you have an awful lot of books to carry around all day, more so even than school. The messenger bag is an ideal, stylish way to carry them lightly on the shoulder, and quick to access as well. In fact on campus is probably where you’re most likely to encounter messenger bags. So look at designs that will appeal to fashion-conscious students to encourage them to use your bag to tote their books from lecture hall to library to dorm.
Laptops
As with books, students and a lot of business people will need to carry laptops, cables and other bits of tech around with them daily. Now, the type of messenger bags that we sell are not on their own capable of protecting a laptop from damage, so the equipment should always be encased in a waterproof sleeve which offers some protection against accidental knocks and drops. But they are a good way of lugging around expensive equipment without drawing attention to it – casual thieves will instantly recognise the potential value of a special laptop bag – a messenger bag might just as easily contain your fruit and veg shopping or a change of clothes.
Nappies
Young mums have a huge amount of things to carry around every time they leave the house, not just nappies but foods, creams, bottles, wipes, changes of clothesÛ_ There are special day bags available but these can cost a lot of money – why bother when they could re-use your brand’s messenger bag just as well? Cotton Bag Co’s messenger bags are, like the rest of our product range, high-quality, durable and spacious. Plus they’re washable too, always a plus for mums!
