Other than the use of conventional print advertisements and the use of the use of billboards, TV commercials, Promotional Product's serve the purpose to get a company's name into the public eye by assisting them in building a reputation. The trick to finding effective promotional products is to ask the question what makes a promotional product effective? The answer is the best is one that gets used. If items are getting used, anyone who sees the product is being exposed to your company as well as the recipient being constantly reminded of your company as well as receiving a gift.
Often the most effective promotional products are some of the cheapest. A perfect example of this is Pen's or Tote Bag's that can and are used almost daily by anyone and can usually be printed and supplied for well under $5 per item. The items are portable and get carried and seen by others. One of the great qualities of promotional products, is the recipient receives a gift from your company and then uses the product and get's your company's name out into the community.
If we look at a few different but very popular promotional products we can see some of the advantages and drawbacks to each one:
An example of this is Key Chains they are portable and are often used a lot however, a distinct disadvantage of using key chains is that people rarely tend to see them as they spend a majority of time in the recipients? Pockets, purses or wallets.
Refrigerator magnets - Will also likely be used by the recipients, but won't get much exposure to third parties. Good idea if you want your recipients to be constantly reminded of your company and to have your contact information readily available to them. Bad idea if you want to get your name out to third parties.
A really useful item that people use over and over again is a good Tote Bags they are extremely portable and get seen by lots of people, on the down side they tend not to be used daily however when they are used they generally get used in high viewing areas such as the supermarket, the beach, the gym or taken to seminars. With a good logo that suits the style of the Tote bag this makes for a really powerful and effective promotional item.
Pens is a option that combines the portability of a keychain, the usefulness of a refrigerator magnet, and the visibility of a Tote Bag. This is the best option for someone who wants to get all three benefits out of one very cost efficient promotional product. This is especially true if your recipients have customers of their own.
The return on investment on a good promotional product is huge an example of this is a pen with your company's logo generally cost less than a dollar or two, but the reach of that one pen can be worth thousands.
