A balanced comparison
Digital vs. Reusable
Digital advertising and reusable-bag advertising serve different purposes. Digital platforms offer precise targeting and campaign tracking, while reusable bags provide tangible, repeated exposure in the local community—even after the initial campaign has ended.
| Digital Advertising | Reusable-Bag Advertising |
|---|---|
| Exposure generally stops when campaign spending stops | Exposure continues as the bag is reused |
| Ads may appear briefly and can be scrolled past | The advertisement appears on a useful physical product |
| Competes with other content and advertisements | Carries participating brands throughout the local community |
| Provides detailed targeting, clicks and campaign analytics | Provides repeated visibility over the bag’s lifetime |
| Requires ongoing spending to maintain visibility | One campaign can continue generating impressions without daily media spending |

≈ $7–$12
According to the Advertising Specialty Institute’s 2026 Global Advertising Impressions Study, a promotional bag generates an estimated 4,900 impressions throughout its lifetime, with an average cost of approximately one-tenth of a cent per impression—or about $1 per 1,000 impressions.
By comparison, recent advertising-industry benchmarks commonly place Google Display advertising at several dollars per 1,000 impressions and Meta advertising in the high-single to low-double digits. Actual digital advertising costs vary by industry, audience, location, season and campaign objective.
These figures provide a general cost-of-visibility comparison and do not represent identical types of impressions. Digital platforms offer targeting and measurable online actions, while ASI’s promotional-bag figures estimate physical exposure accumulated over a bag’s useful lifetime.

Good to know
A few common
questions.
Where are the tote bags distributed?+
Each campaign is tied to a participating farmers’ market in Canada or the U.S., where the totes enter circulation throughout the local community.
Will competing businesses be on the same bag?+
No. We reserve one advertiser per business category in each campaign to keep every placement clear and valuable.
Do I need to design my own advertisement?+
You can provide finished artwork, or share your logo and business details so the creative can be prepared to fit your selected space.
