We design around your brand
We work with your team to create a reusable bag where your grocery brand remains the primary feature.

How the program works
Custom reusable bags for your stores. Provided at no cost.
Your brand leads the bag. A limited number of carefully selected local sponsors occupy designated secondary areas and help fund production.
Local businesses support the program
A limited number of carefully selected businesses from the surrounding community receive designated sponsor placements.
We handle the program
Market Totes Co. coordinates sponsor outreach, design and production while keeping your team involved in the approvals that matter.
Your customers carry it forward
The bags leave with shoppers and continue carrying your brand through shopping, errands and everyday community life.
A visible local connection
Support Local. Visibly.
A reusable bag can do more than carry groceries. It can visibly connect a retailer with the businesses and entrepreneurs operating in the neighbourhoods surrounding its stores.
Your customers already see you as part of their community. Your reusable bags can help showcase the other local businesses that make that community unique.
Participating businesses receive exposure alongside the grocer while helping fund a useful reusable product for customers.

Your brand remains front and centre
Your bag should still look and feel like your bag.
This is not a bag covered indiscriminately with advertisements. The grocer remains the primary featured brand, while sponsor advertisements sit within clearly defined secondary spaces.
Market Totes Co. designs the sponsorship component around the retailer—not the retailer around the advertisements. The result is intended to remain cohesive, professional and suitable for a family-oriented shopping environment.
Brand-appropriate sponsorsFamily-friendly businessesNo competing grocery retailersDefined advertising areasRetailer review where agreed
Sponsor guidelines, category restrictions and any retailer review process can be established as part of each partnership.Local by location
Local businesses for local stores.
For multi-location retailers, sponsorships can be organized around the communities each store serves—keeping the program locally relevant rather than filling bags with generic national advertising.
Programs can be structured around local relevance without promising geographic exclusivity unless specifically agreed.
A practical way to begin
Start small. Prove the concept. Then scale.
Retailers do not necessarily need to commit an entire store network. Market Totes Co. can explore a focused pilot in one community and, if it proves mutually beneficial, consider additional stores or locations.
The structure shown is an example pilot—not a universal minimum, fixed campaign quantity or guarantee for every grocery partnership.
