Market Totes Co. coordinates the program, while participating local business sponsors fund bag production.
Added value for shoppers
Give customers a practical reusable item for groceries, errands, future market visits and everyday activities.
Promotion beyond market day
Whenever shoppers carry the bag, your market’s branding travels with them throughout the surrounding community.
Support local businesses
Create another way for established local businesses to support and connect with the community around your market.
Family-friendly local sponsors
We prioritize appropriate, community-minded businesses and distinct placements so the bag remains polished rather than cluttered.
Encourage reusable habits
Reusable bags offer a practical alternative to disposable bags and complement the community-minded nature of farmers’ markets.
We handle the heavy lifting
We manage sponsor outreach, coordination, artwork and production so organizers take on minimal additional work.
How it works
A simple, supported process.
We coordinate the moving pieces so your team can focus on running a great market.
We partner with your market
We learn about your market, its community, its audience and the identity you want the bag to carry.
We create your custom bag
Your market becomes a prominent part of a professionally designed, full-colour tote. Our design team works with you to help bring your vision to life.
Local businesses support the program
A limited selection of appropriate local businesses is featured as sponsors within designated advertising areas.
You give the bags to shoppers—free
Completed bags are supplied to your market for free distribution, putting useful reusable totes and your market’s brand into local hands.
Designed with care
Your market is the reason the bag exists. It should look that way.
The goal is not to turn your tote into an advertising sheet. Your farmers' market remains a prominent part of the design, while restrained sponsor placements help make free distribution possible.
We focus on reputable, family-friendly businesses that make sense for the surrounding community. Market Totes Co. works collaboratively with participating markets around appropriate sponsor categories and community standards.
The walking billboard effect
A bag doesn't stop promoting your market when the shopper leaves.
Shoppers can carry the same market-branded tote through their normal routines, giving your market repeated exposure throughout the surrounding community.
