Help
I'm head over heals (spelling error intended) for the folks over at Help. Their product offering is pretty simple. It consists of two products: Acetaminophen tablets entitled 'Help I Have a Headache' (Ha!) and band aids entitled 'Help I've Cut Myself' (Haha!). Their product line alone totally had me sold on the company... but there's more. They also try to be socially responsible. All of their packaging is made out of 100% recycled molded paper pulp and manufactured in the US by a factory that helps adults with learning disabilities. They also have a sense of humor. You can order customized 'Help I...' t-shirts on their website, where you fill in the blank with whatever tickles your funny bone. If all that doesn't make them awesome enough, they also offer other Help activities such as Help I'm Bored, Help I'm Illiterate, or Help I'm Homesick (my personal favorite!). I'm not sure who is behind the company Help, but I've decided you are totally awesome!Labels: Advertising, Packaging, Products

These are really great, thanks for the heads up. It's a nice kicker, too, that they're socially responsible. In the past few weeks my blog has talked about some companies doing these types of things, like GOOD Magazine and TOMS Shoes. Feel free to check it out, and definitely comment!
I'm a huge fan of GOOD Magazine! And what I like about both GOOD and Help is that the social responsibility thinking isn't their main focus. You could argue that it is almost an afterthought. OR, more meaningfully, they are treating it like a given (well, of course we give our subscription proceeds to charity... duh).
My dad reads this blog (hi dad), and he was just pointing out to me the other day how many posts I've been writing about products or services with an environmental or socially responsible aspect to them. In some ways, this reflects my personal interests, but in other ways it points out a very positive trend among companies that are seeing the importance of this, and doing their parts.
