Personal Ashtrays / Pocket Ashtrays / Portable Ashtrays
Help spread the message without actually saying anything yourself!
- Unprinted/blank Mini-Butts
- Generic printed Mini-Butts
Mini-Butts Personal / Pocket / Portable Ashtrays are available in unprinted or Generic printed versions for the same price.
But it's like this: We think that plain/unprinted Mini-Butts are lost opportunity to help spread the word about cigarette butt litter. It's kind of like a billboard with no advertising on it. Maybe even a waste of space... That's why most of our corporate customers and all of our government clients choose to print their Mini-Butts Pocket Ashtrays with their logo, website and/or an anti-littering message.
Note: Many of our customers also choose to include an anti-smoking or quit message to their Mini-Butts - and this completely invalidates the occasional concern encountered that by promoting the use of personal ashtrays, it may be seen as in some way "promoting" smoking. We think this concern completely misses the point and there's more info on this issue below. There's also a complete analysis of this misconception in our Resources Section.
Even though the minimum quantity for logo printed Mini-Butts is only 250 units, we do understand that sometimes there can be reasons why our customers may not be ready, or in a position to order logo printed Mini-Butts. Here's a couple of examples and comments we've received:
"We like the idea of Mini-Butts and know we have to do something about our smokers cigarette butt litter, but we'd like to try a smaller amount first."...
- Makes perfect sense. We know they work, and we encourage you to find that out for yourself.
"We'd love to put our logo onto our Mini-Butts, but there's only 15 of us here in the company."...
- That's completely understandable though we always point out that apart from staff or affiliated smokers issues, Mini-Butts also make an excellent and eco-friendly promotional product that will be seen, used and appreciated many times a day by everyone who receives it.
"We forgot to order our logo printed Mini-Butts and our festival starts in 5 days."...
- Ooops... Logo printing Mini-Butts production takes around 7 days from artwork confirmation - and that's bloody quick by industry standards. But sometimes it's just not possible to logo print in time.
"We made our facilities smoke free and our staff and patients are all now going elsewhere for a smoke. We know we need Mini-Butts but as we're a hospital the Directors don't want our logo on them because they're worried that some may see it as promoting smoking, though your logo and message is fine."...
- We do occasionally encounter this concern, and we understand that smoking can be a contentious issue, but we think it misses the point. It's like saying that providing life jackets on a boat encourages people to capsize it, or providing a smoke detector in a room encourages the lighting of fires. The billions of cigarette butts littering our cities, countryside and waterways is proof that smokers are going to smoke with or without a personal ashtray. We think it's much better with. Besides, no-one ever looked at a personal ashtray and decided to take up smoking...
Our goal is to provide total satisfaction to our customers and it's for reasons like those above that Generic Mini-Butts can be the perfect solution to our clients specific requirements.
Generic Mini-Butts help get the message out, in a very direct and fun way - but with no specific extra printing required. Generic Mini-Butts cost the same as plain Mini-Butts, but they make a statement for all to see. And we don't pull any punches either.
