Greetings!
BGTP SHOWS HOW IT'S DONE
During
the past few years, we have come in contact with remarkable companies and their
founders. For this "Show the Love" issue, we want to let you know about a company
that is the epitome of this concept. It's called (appropriately) Be Good to
People.
Be Good to People (BGTP) sells simple products emblazoned with the message, "Be Good to People." Everything in the line is either black or white, because Being Good to People is that simple.
As they say, "we call our shirt 'The Magic Shirt' because when you wear it, you cannot help but be better to people. Even people who are already good to people will find themselves being better. Having more patience with others, giving others the benefit of the doubt, thinking of others first."
In addition to shirts, BGTP sells eco-friendly accessories like reusable water bottles, coffee tumblers and grocery totes, journals and notepads. From now through February, 5% of every piece sold will
be donated to Haitian relief, specifically to The CRUDEM Foundation Inc., which is the largest private hospital in Haiti. The funds will go directly to helping
care for the Haitian people. Use code FOPB10 for a 20% discount on your
order!
Here are just a few tips from BGTP for simple ways to Pay It Forward:
- Put change in a parking meter that is
expired or about to.
- Pay the person's bridge or toll road
fare behind you.
- Smile at a stranger and say "Good
morning"/"Good afternoon."
- Let a person with fewer items go ahead
of you in line.
- Buy a fellow diner dessert.
- Compliment a person on their wardrobe or hairstyle.
- Hold the elevator door for someone who is coming.
- Let an older person, pregnant woman or someone who just looks like they could use it have your seat or place in line.
- Offer to trim a neighbor's grass.
- Allow someone who is in a rush at the airport security line go ahead of you if you are not in a rush.
- Introduce yourself to someone at a social function when they look like they are alone or don't know anyone.
ENTERPRISING WOMEN GIVE BACK
We are thrilled to be featured in the most recent issue of Enterprising Women magazine -- which contains a special section on the power of women's philanthropy. It recounts how from the very beginning, Psi Bands has been about giving back. That is why we set up a charitable partnership with Fertile Hope, a LIVESTRONG initiative dedicated to providing reproductive information, support and hope to cancer patients and survivors whose medical treatments present the risk of infertility. Psi Bands donates $1 of every Cherry Blossom Psi Bands set sold to Fertile Hope.
Our main mission has always been to improve the well-being of others by making them feel better. As Psi Bands co-founder Carla Falcone puts it, "Before we even had a product in hand, we
knew that if we were going to give up time with our family and sacrifice 'me'
time, that we had to be improving the overall good."

Psi Bands is proud to have been picked as a "Top 10 Must Pack Health Item" as chosen by Honeymoons.com. Along with nine other great products, it is a
