— The brief

A tree, added to the free-gift list.

Paperstone, a UK office-supplies supplier of 21 years, already ran a free-gift programme: spend a threshold, pick a reward.

They added a tree to the list. One tree planted at £49, five at £129, the tree isn't an add-on at checkout, it's one of the gifts.

The thinking

Adding a tree to existing free-gift options extended a mechanic Paperstone already used, so there was no separate campaign and no extra budget line, the reward and the planting land in the same moment.

How it works

Reward every order, plant a tree.

Step 01

Choose your free gift

Spend £49 or more and the customer picks a reward, with a tree on the list.

Step 02

Tree planted

One tree at £49, five at £129, tiered by basket value and planted in Tanzania.

Step 03

Confirmed

The reward and the planting land together, differentiating a commodity category on more than price.

— Brand story

Their numbers, made public.

Every account on the platform gets a public forest profile, a live, shareable page showing the running total.

Nothing to compile, nothing to request: a link Paperstone can drop into a page, a proposal or a tender, and a number that updates itself.

Planting location

All planted in Tanzania.

Every Paperstone tree is planted in the Usambara Mountains, Tanzania, restoring biodiversity across the Eastern Arc and the highest-volume site in our portfolio.
