The Extravaganza Promotional Merchandise Team is prepared for Pride this year. Huge efforts have been made to promote the use of BRIGHT Earth Friendly Promotional Merchandise for this year’s events. The team at the Leicester office are keen to promote that eco promotional products don’t have to be bland in colour but they can be bright, crazy and suitable for any Pride party. With the 5p single use plastic carrier bag charge and the imminent plastic straw ban for distribution and sale, Extravaganza is always finding new innovative promotional products that are colourful and eco-friendly. Most marketing & events teams in the education sector have been adopting their green practices and developing sustainable strategies for their campaigns and events. Looking at key factors such as the environmental impact of manufacturing, packaging, and the consequences of consumption, Extravaganza take their commitment to earth positive promotions, very seriously.

The brother and sister owners of Extravaganza, Ash and Aarti Parmar are second generation British Indians and have a deep respect for sustainable products, eco materials and the longevity of promotional goods with an Innovative, unique edge.

Aarti explains “We were brought up to look after everything within the environment and were taught to never throw things away. From a young age we learnt to care and respect our possessions as well as to get creative with the hand me downs. The Indian culture influences our choice of merchandise we source and produce at Extravaganza. We love creative, bright and earth friendly promotional merchandise”.
