Branded Merchandise to Elevate Hotel Sustainability
Hotels are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact on sustainability, given the sheer volume of guests they host annually. By weaving sustainable practices into their operations and extending those efforts into their branded merchandise, hotels can enhance their reputation as eco-conscious brands while making a tangible difference for the planet. At Whitestone, we specialize in helping businesses like yours create branded merchandise that reflects your values and delights your guests. Here’s how we can help hotels lead the charge toward sustainability.
Recycled Umbrellas with a Purpose
Umbrellas are a hospitality staple, often provided to guests during inclement weather. Why not make them a symbol of your commitment to sustainability? Imagine handing your guests an umbrella crafted from rPET (recycled plastic bottles), featuring a printed message underneath like Sheraton’s “This umbrella used to be a plastic bottle.” Functional, impactful, and a brilliant conversation starter.
Eco-Friendly Guest Room Reminders
Sustainability often begins with the small habits of your guests. Simple, elegantly designed printed cards in the bathroom or bedroom can remind guests to hang their towels for reuse or switch off the lights when leaving the room. These subtle nudges not only save resources but also create a stronger connection between your brand and your eco-conscious guests.
Ditch Plastic Water Bottles for Good
Complimentary water is a thoughtful gesture, but it doesn’t need to come at the cost of the environment. Swap plastic bottles for branded canned water or boxed water. These eco-friendly alternatives offer the perfect canvas to share your hotel’s sustainability mission, leaving guests with a memorable impression of your values.
Premium Reusable Water Bottles
Resorts and luxury properties can elevate the guest experience by offering premium branded water bottles upon check-in. Not only can these bottles be refilled at water stations throughout the property, but they also become a cherished souvenir—reminding guests of their stay every time they use it. Plus, it significantly reduces single-use plastic waste.
Sustainability in Your Hotel Boutique
What you sell in your hotel boutique speaks volumes about your brand’s commitment to sustainability. We can help you curate products made from sustainable materials, sourced locally to reduce transit emissions, and even embedded with QR codes that share the story of their eco-friendly journey. From small-batch artisan goods to premium items crafted with quality and care, your boutique can become a sustainability showcase.
Recycled Key Cards
Plastic key cards are often a guest’s first physical interaction with your hotel brand, and they’re an excellent opportunity to make a statement about sustainability. At Whitestone, we can design key cards made from materials like bamboo, wood, or recycled plastic. Bamboo and wood options are not only biodegradable but also add a natural, luxurious touch to the guest experience. Recycled plastic cards reduce waste while maintaining the durability and functionality guests expect. With thoughtful branding, these cards can serve as a subtle yet impactful nod to your hotel’s eco-friendly values.
Custom Tote Bags for Guests
Gifting guests a custom tote bag made from organic cotton or recycled materials can create a lasting impression. These totes are perfect for carrying essentials during their stay and beyond, providing a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bags. Whether guests are heading to the beach, exploring local markets, or checking out nearby attractions, a high-quality, reusable tote with your hotel’s branding not only promotes sustainability but also becomes a walking advertisement for your property.
Eco-Friendly Spa Kits
For properties with spas, eco-conscious amenity kits can add an extra layer of luxury while emphasizing your commitment to sustainability. These kits could include items like biodegradable scrubs, sustainably packaged oils, bamboo combs, and natural loofahs—all of which can be branded with your hotel logo. Offering guests a thoughtful, environmentally friendly spa experience not only enhances their visit but also aligns with the expectations of today’s eco-savvy travelers.
