“Our V1CE cards save us time, save us money, reduce paper waste, and add a cool, sleek touch for our ecoSPEARS brand.”
Henry WangHenry WangDirector of Marketing, ecoSPEARS

The challenge

ecoSPEARS cleans up pollution, so its brand is built on cutting waste.

The team still handed out recycled paper cards by the stack. They ran out, got lost and went out of date.

For a company with a green mission, that sent the wrong message.

What they changed

The design team worked with V1CE on branded bamboo cards with rounded corners. Each card opens the person's page, where ecoSPEARS added its "Year in Review" video, so every introduction shows the mission.

The outcome

  • 100% of paper cards gone, more than 5,000 a year.
  • 60% better follow-up with new contacts.
  • $4,500 saved a year on printing and shipping.
  • 1,200+ views of the company video in the first quarter.

Staff stopped worrying about running out of cards at events. ecoSPEARS is now rolling the cards out to every department and new hire.

“The cards sparked conversations about our sustainability mission right from the start.”
