Yes! People DO love promotional products. Stop right now and think… an umbrella in your car with a logo, a mug on your desk with an inspiring message. Maybe a cap or tote bag. I bet you can connect immediately to a personal item you see almost everyday that has a logo or message. You’ve probably had it for years and can remember how you got it, when or why you received the item. You may even have an emotional connection to the product. At the time, you probably didn’t think of it as a form of advertising. It was a gift, prize, recognition or giveaway. Is there any other advertising medium that can connect with an audience in this way? Emotionally and over a long period of time.
The recall of a message or brand is amazing. Whether the message is “Just Do It.” or “Jesus Loves Me” it’s surely to be remembered if it’s printed on a promotional product. Your message should connect with the hearts and minds of your audience beyond your point of contact, whether it’s a trade show, school, 30-second commercial or Sunday sermon.
Studies confirm people LOVE promotional products. The statistics shown in this video are amazing!
Are you still asking why do buyers choose promotional products?
- They rank high in effectiveness and many other attributes as shown in a 2009 study.
- Promotional products are the ONLY advertising medium that touches all five senses!
- They are useful tools and life long advertising messages.
- Recall of an advertiser’s name is very high! 76% can recall the name advertised on a promotional product they receive.
- Staying power! 55% keep their promotional items for more than a year and nearly half use them on a daily basis.
- Repeat exposure… you can spend less and achieve more! The cost per impression is very low, sometimes only pennies.
There’s a gazillion ideas to connect your message to a desired audience. Be sure to work with a Master Certified Advertising Specialist to help you cut through the clutter.

A couple years ago North Point Community Church asked The POP Shop 
to produce stickers to be put on diapers notifying parents if their child was changed in Waumba Land (pre-school environment). The diaper stickers were born and continues to be an item that gets talked about, not only with my friends at church who like the idea, but also other churches. It’s also a great idea for nurseries or pre-schools. The sticker has check boxes that tell the parent whether the diaper was dirty or wet. An order from a local church prompted me to share the idea today. For churches who order by Tuesday Feb 9th I can extend special pricing. $0.05 per sticker, 2000 quantity minimum. Sticker will print as shown at 1.25″ diameter. Do you think 2000 sounds like a lot or not enough? Count how many diapers changed on an average Sunday and multiply by 26 or 52 weeks (depending on if you want a 6 or 12 months supply). If you don’t have a Waumba Land environment in your church or you want to customize please inquire for pricing.

I recently visited a local spa, and was delighted to see one of my client’s pens in a pen cup. Academy Mortgage was imprinted in white on the Bic Clear Clic in translucent blue with gold trim. I was reminded 
of how important pens can be to the marketing mix. Pens are still one of the top promotional products and for good reason.
Did you know the average pen has 8 owners in its lifetime? And most BIC® brand pens have 10-12 owners because the 1.2 miles of write out has an extended life, allowing your brand to have as many impressions as possible. A seemingly less expensive product may cost less initially, but most likely will have seen less owners in it’s lifetime.
Check out this variety of BIC pen styles and colors. http://bit.ly/4alsSA Free Setup, Free Rush and 15% off any Bic pen until 12/31/09 – Promo Code “BicBlog1109”
Always make sure your pen includes your website to maximize the pass along marketing value. Be sure to get your pens into circulation! Drop them in pen caddies at banks, salons, doctors, and leave them in the folio at dinner when you sign a credit card slip. Happy Marketing!
