{case study} St. Mary’s Academy

Posted On June 21, 2016

When the faculty members at St. Mary’s Academy were planning the 2015 Marian Awards for Excellence brunch, they were looking for something unique to give each attendee at the annual event. Since the educational institution is one of the oldest Catholic schools in Winnipeg, MB, many mothers and daughters attend as part of their annual traditions.

Objectives:

Send appreciation to attendees of the event
Be special and unique
Fit in with the rest of the tasteful event decor

Strategy and Execution:

The members decided on eco-friendly Seed Paper Wine Glass Tags from Botanical PaperWorks to give their guests a gift that grows after the event. As the guests arrived to the event, the wine tags, which included the table numbers and an inspirational quote, were distributed to each person along with a beverage. The event is for students, families and friends of the Academy so the target audience for these promotions was strictly for the attendees.

Results:

The promotional products proved to be a success and the faculty members were happy with their eco-friendly choice.

“Our initial feedback from guests was that they loved the new take on a classic favor.”
– Amy Houston, Alumnae Relations, Advancement and Special Events Coordinator.

Available in single or double-sided tags, these products let you include your brand message and logo so you can promote your business while you entertain. Made from 100% recycled materials, the paper pulp used for these products is infused with a blend of seven different wildflower seeds including Bird’s Eye, Clarika, Black-Eyed Susan, Sweet Alyssum, Catchfly and Snapdragon. When attached to wine glasses, recipients can take the seed paper favor home and plant them in a pot or garden to grow their own bed of blossoming wildflowers. Because the biodegradable paper composts away into the soil, you can be sure that your seed paper promotions will leave absolutely no waste behind. Your party guests will remember your generosity, creativity and commitment to corporate sustainability.
