Top 4 Things You Should Know About Promotional Products

After reading these surprising facts, you’ll have even more reasons to incorporate promotional products into your marketing strategy. Have a looksy…

1. People WILL remember your company
It’s actually that simple! People are going to remember your brand. Of course, the more interesting and unique your products are, the higher recall they will have.

Want to know the best part? Promo products are kept for an average of 8 months and then are passed along for years to come, according to ASI. PPAI also reported that more than half of consumers say that they will give away a product they are finished with rather than throwing it away. That makes for a whole lot of repeated brand exposure, which leads to increased brand recognition across a whole new consumer base.

2. Promotional products are one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising

Any marketer trying to get a budget approved knows that “you have to spend money to make money.” This is certainly true of branded merchandise, however, promo items are some of the most cost-effective options when it comes to advertising!

Promotional products have the lowest cost-per-impression for advertising in the United States. Spending money to make money is certainly important, but why spend money on expensive advertising that isn’t going to leave a long lasting impression?

3. People genuinely like promotional products

Who doesn’t love receiving gifts? Think of branded items as a personalized gift for anyone that comes into contact with your brand. Gifting a tangible object is proven to be an effective marketing technique. (Of course, if you decide to give away the same old pens, the “like” factor may not be as high.)

ASI asked 2,000 people: “When you receive a promotional product, how do you feel about the company that gave it to you?” The most common answers included:

Happy
Appreciative
Grateful
Good

These answers are surprising to a lot of people. Often, marketers forget that promotional products make a big impression on the people who receive them. Giving out an effective promotional item helps to shape the recipient’s perception of your brand, so make sure what you give them makes them feel good!

4. The right promotional products require planning

Just like any other aspect of marketing, ordering the right promotional products for your company requires planning.

Many marketers call me several days before their event to order items, only to be disappointed when the pieces they want aren’t in stock or have a long production schedule that won’t work for their deadline. People are constantly surprised when the item they want isn’t available within their specified time frame.

Picking promotional items requires careful planning. Finding the right products may take some time, but working with a specialist at Distinct Images will make it easier.

Keep Promoting!
