Sneak Peek at reuseit.com - win $50 to check it out

For months now we've been telling you "ReusableBags.com is becoming reuseit," and we're thrilled to say that the day is nearly here.

Since its launch in 2003, ReusableBags.com has been known as the site that spawned the reusable shopping bag movement and raised awareness of the plastic bag problem.

In the years since, we've expanded our line to bring you the "best of the best" reusables available in many categories to help you eliminate disposables from every part of your life -- from bags and bottles to lunch, household items and beyond. Practical, innovative and high-quality, our offerings give consumers smart alternatives to use and toss items and the false promise of cheap reusables flooding the marketplace.

To embody what we're all about, our store and proprietary line of innovative products are now named reuseit.com (reuse it). And this Thursday, July 22 we're flipping the switch - ReusableBags.com will appear as reuseit.com.

We're still sweeping the floors and tidying up the shelves, so we aren't ready to let you in yet, but here's a sneak peek because we're dying to hear what you think!

Once the site goes live on the 22nd we'll still be hard at work making more improvements, adding more new products, fleshing out some new sections and more. Come August, we'll be inviting the whole world into our new site to check out a reusables site like no other.

This has been years in the making, thousands of hours of work, and who knows how many pots of coffee - but looking at what reuseit.com has become, we think it's worth it.

So what do you think? Leave us a comment about your impression so far and we'll choose a random commenter to receive a $50 gift certificate to our new store!* We look forward to inviting you in! 

P.S. Don't worry, ReusableBags.com will be on vacation for a little while once reuseit.com launches, but it will be back in the form of an informational hub and activist resource center. More about that later!

*The giveaway has ended. Thanks to our winner Shawn Knapp!

Bright, clean, tidy and friendly. (Like a good store, offline or on.) It reminds me of Real Simple magazine, which I LOVE.

Congratulations on the new site folks! Love it! Great new colour scheme and a much simpler look. Can't wait to take a peak inside!

Looks like it's going to be a breeze to navigate! I would switch the location of the social media buttons and the cart button. I think it would look better and be easier to use if they were swapped.

Looks great!! Love the simpler look. Looking forward to being able to check it out completely - especially since I am fairly new fan.

I miss the Larger Link area on the left with the different products listed. Will that be on the shopping page?
I Love browsing the current website for stuff I have heard about that I need. And that long left column lets me pick and choose what I am looking for. You are the First Place I go for new re-usable items.

[Sara Werner]

Love it! Keep doing what your doing.

Very nice - I love the clean feeling of it, nice spacing of the different sections, the large, clear product photos and the statistics of bags used/saved at the top. I greatly look forward to seeing it go live!
