Chevrolet Litter Bag, 1960-1970

01

Artifact Overview

Promotional giveaways can place advertising messages deeper into people's lives than billboards or magazine ads. The power of branding -- coupled with consumer brand loyalty -- has also led to the creation of promotional items designed for sale to the public. However, other branded items literally could be thrown away. This trash bag, used in the car, reinforced the Chevy brand.
