Maggie Bags Are Stylishly Eco-Conscious

Summer isn't over yet, so there is plenty of beach time left. And, college students are headed back to campuses across the country this week. No matter if you are trying to get a few days in at the beach or headed off to college, Maggie Bags has just the right tote.

Maggie Bags is making a difference in this world too. This handbag company is giving new life to unwanted fabrics by recycling them to create durable, simple and stylish totes. In today's time, with all the messages about saving the planet, eco-friendly fashion brands are gaining popularity. More and more consumers are expecting businesses to do what is right in all aspects of operations and that means minimizing the negative environmental impact it has on the world. This means more than a company just 'being green.' It means that eco-conscious companies are making an impact to the triple bottom line, People, Planet, and Profits.

Eco-friendly fashions are not just the hemp, hippy-style, products for granola-heads. Today, fashion brands are high style and high quality. Now, women can both carry a fashionable handbag and be eco-conscious with Maggie Bags!

The handbag above is perfect for the beach or classroom and even makes a great travel bag. It features a zippered pocket, cell phone pocket, and key pocket. YKK zippers and four-nickel plated feet on the bottom. Check it out at http://www.maggiebags.net/

Connecting Your Giving Message to Market

Question: What is the one way you can interact and gain trust from clients and customers without selling to them?

Answer: Sharing your business's giving back story.

And it is a business strategy that is working better than ever. In fact, it works so well that big corporations are doing it more and more and I KNOW that when you connect with clients on a level that goes beyond 'the transaction' to one that you both share in, like making a difference, you create an immediate emotional connection which builds trust and loyalty.

So, whether you give back in a small way or big way, your business can be influenced by supporting causes and when you create a giving story that is credible and authentic it can be a driving factor in increasing sales. And I want to share with you great tips on this topic. That is why I am interviewing Lisa Manyon, President of Write On Creative and copywriting expert because what you say is just as important as how you say it.
