POWERNAP AND SAVE THE PLANET

Put your computer on snooze with this latest promotional idea that will help save the planet - and cut energy bills by up to £50 a year.

The Eco-button is the latest creative idea from Firebrand, who seek out the best in technology led, and eco-friendly promotional concepts.

Just touch the Eco-button when you go for a break, pick up the phone, or head off to a meeting, and your computer slips into an energy saving ecomode. A touch of any computer key gets you straight back to where you left off without having to re-start.

And every time the computer leaps back into life, a window pops up saying how much has been saved so far on carbon, power and money – which at around £50 per computer can bring big savings for any organisation with multiple computer users. (Typically, 50 computers can save around 6.8 tonnes of CO2 and £2000 a year in energy bills.)

The Eco-button pop-up window is a valuable promotional opportunity for displaying a marketing message and logo, along with web links.

A promotional message can also be imprinted on a 42x31mm illuminated space on the Eco-button itself which plugs into the USB port and sits ready-to-hand alongside the computer.

Made from recycled plastic and selling for under £10, the Eco-button is the first promotional product to pay for itself and promote a company’s eco credentials, say Firebrand, who see the Eco-button as a winning idea from amongst their vast range of eco and USB-friendly promotional ideas.
