It’s Official – People 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!
