“SUPPORT OUR TROOPS”
An issue just as popular as many of the health-related causes, there is a corresponding wealth of organizations that might have need of awareness products for supporting soldiers. Browsing the Web sites for troop-donation organizations like Soldiers’ Angels or Operation Gratitude, at www.soldiersangels.org and www.opgratitude.com respectively, may give some ideas, but there are also plenty of local organizations that may be interested in products. Weinstein gave an interesting example of a locally viable item EMT designed that has also been its most successful troop-related promotion: a thank-you coin for Veterans’ groups. “Members purchase the coins to give to any active or retired military personnel they encounter in everyday life.”

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Well known for its many slogans such as, “Give a hoot, don’t pollute,” the environmental awareness sector is certainly an area that could benefit from promotional products. Weinstein named a few areas where the company has seen success with environmental promotions. “EMT produced several lapel pins for environmental groups lobbying for their causes at the time of the 2008 election,” he said, naming The Clean Coal lobby as one example. He also mentioned EMT had done some work for various ASPCA offices around the country for the purposes of advocating the importance of spaying or neutering pets.
