Are Tote Bags Good for Marketing? Here’s Why the Answer is a Resounding Yes

In today’s fast-paced, brand-saturated world, standing out matters and so does your budget. Whether you're a small business, nonprofit, school, or Fortune 500 company, custom tote bags offer one of the most cost-effective, high-impact marketing tools on the market. At BagzDepot, we’ve helped thousands of businesses turn blank tote bags into walking billboards—and we’re here to break down exactly why tote bags are still a marketing powerhouse in 2025.

Real-World Experience: Why Brands Keep Coming Back to Tote Bags

At BagzDepot, we’ve served over 200,000 customers—many of whom return year after year to reorder custom printed totes for trade shows, product launches, fundraisers, and more. Why? Because they work.

Customer Example:
A local bakery in California ordered 500 cotton tote bags with their logo for a weekend farmer’s market. Not only did the bags sell out, but the bakery’s foot traffic increased 35% the following week. Each tote was seen by hundreds of new customers—on sidewalks, in grocery stores, and online when customers shared them on social media.

Brand Exposure That Keeps Working

Tote bags are not disposable. Unlike flyers or digital ads that disappear, a tote bag is reusable for years. Every time a customer carries your branded bag, they’re promoting your business.

Stats That Speak for Themselves:

The average promotional tote bag generates over 3,300 impressions in its lifetime.
73% of consumers say they prefer promotional products they can use regularly (PPAI).
50% of people keep a promo bag for over 2 years.

A Budget-Friendly Marketing Strategy

Buying wholesale tote bags in bulk allows you to get your cost per impression down to just pennies. BagzDepot offers:

Deep bulk discounts
Fast turnarounds
Low minimums starting at just 25 pieces

Whether you're ordering for a trade show, corporate swag, or school event, tote bags offer one of the highest ROIs in promotional marketing.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Consumers are prioritizing sustainability. Tote bags align with this value—especially when made from cotton, canvas, or jute. Offering reusable bags reduces plastic waste and associates your brand with eco-conscious values.

At BagzDepot, we provide:

Organic cotton tote bags
Recycled and reusable bags
Custom jute and burlap bags for a natural look

Endless Customization Options

From bold logos to full-color screen printing, tote bags give you plenty of space to express your brand. Want to promote a slogan? Feature a QR code? Create an Instagram-worthy giveaway item? It’s all possible.

Fundraiser swag
School spirit merchandise
