They’re also effective for dealer/distribution programs such as company stores and co-op programs in which they build loyalty with current customers or create new accounts. Other uses include employee incentive programs, orientation programs, tradeshow booth traffic, new product introduction and marketing research.

Adding a promotional product to the media mix generated favorable attitudes toward a print ad in all cases. The use of a promotional product as the advertising medium alone achieved maximum impact, up to 69% increasing brand interest and 84% in creating a good impression of the brand.

Recipients of promotional products have a significantly positive opinion of a business through:

  • Increase in positive overall image
  • More positive perception of the business
  • Higher likelihood of recommending the business
  • Higher likelihood of patronizing the business
