What
are promotional products?
Promotional products (usually imprinted with a company’s
name, logo, or message) include useful or decorative items
used to enhance marketing and communication programs. Imprinted
products that are distributed free are called advertising
specialties. Imprinted items given as an incentive or as a
result of a specific action are known as premiums. Business
gifts, awards, and commemoratives are also considered promotional
products.
Why
use promotional products?
|
Research shows that 39% of your customers are more likely
to remember your name as long as six months after receiving
a promotional product when the item has your company
name, logo, or message imprinted on it.
Promotional products are ideal for creating awareness
among a selective audience. For example, a Southern
Methodist University study found selective distribution
of promotional products outperformed school newspaper
advertising two-to-one.
Promotional products effectively reinforce employee
sales contests. Results from a Baylor University study
found that contests offering incentives outperformed
ones without incentives by up to 50%.
Customers re-order faster and more often when promotional
products are used instead of coupons. In another Southern
Methodist University study, results showed that customers
receiving promotional products reordered up to 18% sooner
than those who received coupons and up to 13% sooner
than those who received no promotion.
Baylor University found promotional products inserted
into direct mail solicitations boosted response rates
by up to 75%.
