Bringing nature into our daily lives, spending more time in green spaces and keeping active can all help to cultivate a healthy mind and body. In fact gardening has been proven to increase our level of happiness and meaningfulness, and is on par with biking, walking or dining out. Simply by having a regular view of greenery has a beneficial impact on our wellbeing.

It’s no wonder then, that gardening has become a popular activity during and following the Pandemic; a catalyst for many to question how we spend our time, and seeking ways to help improve our mental and physical wellbeing.

With a vast amount of UK office workers choosing to spend part or all of their time working from home, it’s important for employers to ensure their remote workers are happy and healthy.

1. Show their wellbeing matters to you.

By making promotional seeds or plants centre stage to your marketing campaign, you will be championing mindfulness and healthy wellbeing. As mentioned above, caring for and being around plants has many health benefits, including:

Helps us to practice mindfulness.
Improves our mood and make us feel happier.
It’s an active hobby and so will release endorphins which can alleviate anxiety and depression.
Helps self-esteem and confidence.
Reduces stress levels and keeps blood pressure lower.
Increases productivity (by up to 15%).
Improves air quality.

2. Help the environment.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which creates a healthier environment to be in. If you want to promote your green credentials, and showcase your commitment to the environment, putting your brand on promotional seeds or plants is a direct and easy way to do so.

Increasingly, consumers are choosing brands who prioritise sustainability. So by gifting branded seed packets, plantable cards or engraved plant pots, rather than single-use giveaways, you will be demonstrating your commitment to reducing waste, and promoting a healthier planet.

3. Sow the seeds of success.

Of course, ‘planting a seed’ with promotional seeds and plants is also a clever and creative way to launch a new business, service or product. As your business or offering grows, so will the promotional plant offered to your target audience; a constant reminder of your brand.

4. Long-lasting brand exposure.

Unlike disposable promotional gifts, plants and seeds will continue to grow for months, if not years! Every time your customer or colleague waters their plant or sees it on their desk, they will be reminded of your brand and generosity. Plus, if office based, your contact details will be in easy reach for when they need your service or product.

This extended exposure makes seed-based promotional gifts a high-impact marketing tool.

5. Team building.

Promotional seeds and plants can be used as a vehicle for team bonding and building. Planting the seeds as a group activity, or running a friendly growing competition between colleagues can help us to connect and build relationships. This in turn will improve morale and general wellbeing.

6. Versatile end uses.

Promotional seeds and plants are a versatile gift and can be used for various marketing campaigns, such as:

Corporate Gifts: Show appreciation to clients and employees with a thoughtful, eco-friendly gesture.
Trade Shows & Events: Hand out branded seed packets as unique giveaways that stand out.
Seasonal Promotions: Align your marketing efforts with spring planting seasons or environmental movements.
Retail Promotions: Encourage sustainability by including a free plantable product with purchases.
New Product or Service Launches: Create a strong message or growth and innovation with a seeded gift.

Choose the right item for your target market:

If your customer or colleague is office-based, then a desktop garden, seeded stationery or planted pot could sit on their desk and be in their line of vision on a daily basis. Items like Seedsticks® seedpacks or seed bombs would work well for educational settings, charities, hybrid or remote workers for example, who have access to outdoor green spaces. You will want to also consider the type of seed you select, based on popularity and how easy it is to grow. If you are sending a herb like basil, could you include a recipe?

Add a personal touch:

Think about adding a personal note or add an individual’s name to the item. This will show your recipient that the act of giving the gift is a special and thoughtful one. It will emphasise that you value them as a customer or colleague, as well as your committment to sustainability.

Leverage social media:

Encourage your recipients to share photographs or videos of their growing plants. You could include a branded hashtag. This will help to boost your online engagement and brand visibility.

Spend time on your design:

Choose colours that will reflect your brand and the eco-friendly marketing message. Make your message clear, simple and eye-catching. Include any call to actions in your packaging such your contact details and relevant campaign hashtags. You could also include a QR code to your website or landing page, which will help you to connect your physical and digital marketing efforts.

Promotional seeds and plants are the ideal choice to promote wellbeing, embrace your eco-credentials and create long-lasting brand visibility.

The merch is top notch quality, and will happily continue using Steel City for many orders to come! Hugely recommend!

We have ordered several branded products from Steel City, and we have been extremely impressed by both the quality of the products themselves and also the service we've received from their fantastic team.

My first time using Steel City BM, what a great service, we delayed things and messed them about a bit but they still came up trumps, got the merchandise we wanted, printed with our Logos and delivered within the very short timeframe we gave them, excellent service. I would highly recommend using them

I am a repeat customer for a good reason and have been for years. Never let me down, courteous, friendly service, quality goods, lovely efficient firm to deal with (exemplary COMMUNICATION as well, which seems to be a commodity fast diminishing between client and supplier these days) and going forward I’ll be back again - at least twice a year with ever increasing volumes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Great firm.

Ordered a bulk order of 500 branded notepads on the Monday and they had been delivered on the Friday! Impressively fast. Great quality products, and the customer service is the best i've experienced- both Rowan the Sales Administrator and Debbie the Account Manager were excellent, very rapid email response with all the info needed. We will continue to use Steel City for our company's branded merch.

Can't rate the team at Steel City Marketing highly enough. I've ordered a few different promotional items just recently and every single time, from start to finish, the service from Georgia & Rowan in particular, has been first class. Each item we have had (leather key fobs, feather flags and printed bags) are of an excellent quality and have been produced to a very high standard. I've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality, speed and with the exceptional service this company has always fulfilled our orders.

Brilliant service from start to finish. Rowan went that 'extra mile' to keep me informed on progress.

Highly recommend Steel City for all promotional items and gifts. The team were very helpful and supportive in helping us source what we were looking for and sent multiple free samples for us to test the quality prior to us making a final decision. Highly recommend Steel City and look forward to working with them again in the future. - Review on behalf of AUMA Actuators Ltd.

“As always, the service was fast and reliable with my favourite bit being the communication. As a customer you know exactly what to expect at every point of the process because your expectations are managed beautifully and all information is communicated well.”

Excellent service and produced items once again from Debbie and the whole team at Steel City. I won't go anywhere else for my promo items.

Super speedy process and the team were on hand throughout! Highly recommend - thank you again!

Fantastic experience using Steel City from the minute I emailed James about my requirements to the finished product being delivered. Can't speak highly enough of Rowan for her regular communication and letting me know how things are progressing.
