Today there was interesting co-branding promotion between a Hong Kong newspaper, am730 and Bank of East Asia. Collect a free am730 newspaper and get a free BEA newspaper bag to carry it along to your destination! You can also reduce carbon footprints when you reuse such bags instead of plastic shopping bags.

Co-branding efforts like these can be very effective marketing tools. Since Hong Kong has so many SMEs, marketing collaboration is an excellent way for companies to promote on a budget. (See our past articles on co-branding)

Utilising newspaper bags can be a great way to advertise for your products and services. It is a popular promotional item among hotels, as it often carry their logo. When hotel guests carry their newspaper elsewhere, the newspaper bag will act as a walking advertisement for the hotel.
