Sure, utilizing reusable bags is a bit of a tired topic. But, why are more and more retailers taking advantage of them? Simple – free branding! (And, hopefully environmental consciousness…)

Local retailers, take a cue from companies like Urban Outfitters and DKNY, and  do away with plastic and paper in favor of a reusable bag that emphasizes your brand over and over.

There’s more and more companies in various sectors following suit with this trend. Readers, what stores have you spotted providing reusable shopping bags at no cost?
