We all know that tote bags make excellent promotional products. But, once you give them out, what do people use them for? How do you know that your promotional tote bags aren’t ending up at the back of someone’s closet?

You know that this isn’t the case because people have many uses for these bags. Aside from the usual, like to go grocery shopping, people use these bags to organize their homes and their lives. Here are ten different ways people use tote bags to organize:

1. The Errand Bag?This bag is used to run errands. People throw items that they need to replace in them. For example, if they need new batteries or light bulbs, they throw them in there so that they can find the right ones. When they go on errands, they take the bag with them.

2. The Activity Bag?Let’s face it, kids get bored when they have to wait in waiting rooms and restaurants. They need things to keep them occupied. The activity bag, filled with toys, puzzles, books, hand held video games, etc., will keep them busy. Bring this bag with you whenever the kids are with you.

3. The Car Trip Bag?Again, this bag is mostly for the kids and is for long car rides. Fill it with music, movies (if you have a DVD player in the car), maps for the kids to follow, markers, paper, and car games.

4. The Return Bag?This bag is very much like the errand bag, but this bag is used to return items that don’t belong to you, like library books and movie rentals. It can also hold items, like clothes, that you want to return or exchange.

5. The Beach/Pool Bag?This bag is for exactly what it says. Carry sunscreen, beach towels, lip balm, toys, snacks, and pocket money.

6. The Mom Waiting Bag?Finally, a bag for mom’s enjoyment! This tote bag is for when mom has to wait at her kids’ lessons, doctor’s offices, or carpool. Mom’s like to put books, nail polish, journals, newspapers, magazines, and bills inside them.

7. The Gym Bag?For people that go to the gym, they will put in this bag a locker lock, sports bottle, towel, socks, and earphones.

8. The Sleepover Bag?This bag is for the kids for when they go to sleep over grandma’s or a friend’s house. This bag is filled with toiletries so that all you have to do is put clothing in it.

9. The Club Bag?Used by people who volunteer, the club bag is filled with papers and documents they need for meetings.

10. The Mom Bag?This is like mom’s purse. Basically, all the necessities go in here like money, driver’s license, keys, insurance cards, and a cell phone. Most women, however, will want to add more!

With so many uses for tote bags it’s no wonder that they are becoming one of the most popular promotional products on the market. So, there’s no need to worry about whether or not your personalized tote bag will be used. It will!
