What’s the VALUE of promotinal products, really?

With plenty of forms of advertising available to businesses, why are promotional products so well recieved, and why does the category continue to grow year over year?

We’ve learned that it really comes down to two things; That the feeling of appreciation and the usefulness of a quality product can contribute significantly to the overall impression of your brand for years!

And it goes much deeper than we think. Internally, improving employee satisfaction has been proven to have major effects on the bottom line, through decreases in sick days, noted upticks in job performance, positive culture development, and improvements in customer service and satisfaction.*

Externally, according to industry assocition PPAI, ‘today’s consumers are exposed to an expanding array of touch points; however, there’s a growing sensitivity to the idea that consumers are trained to be blind to advertising, prompting businesses, big and small, to consider which ad vehicles have a higher probability of being well- received by consumers. Promotional products are proven to be better received & less avoided by consumers than any other advertising vehicle!’ *
