The Benefits Of Promotional Items

By Richard Larson


In previous years, the use of promotional products for marketing toward the businesses was not popular nor was it used. That was then this is now, and one of the best ways to market businesses is by offering promotional items. These promotional items can be anything from pens to magnets.

The popularity of using promotional products is gaining more business because of the benefits that are associated with these marketing products. Thus more businesses are flourishing in the world of marketing. There was a study conducted by Georgia Southern University within the last few years. The study showed that consumers who received promotional products, had a significantly more positive image of the company compared to others who received no promotional products.

This experiment also showed that more individuals who received promotion products were more likely to recommend the business to others. Again, the ones who did not receive the promotional products were less likely to recommend the company. The benefit of promotional products helps people to keep in mind the name or seeing the name of the company on the product, leaving the person with a more positive picture and ability to recall the business.

This is why it is so important for businesses to have promotional products and imperative to make use of the products not only for recognition, increasing traffic, but to also use as advertising. With the business name, phone number, and or address on the promotional products you are not only making a memory of your company to clients, but you are promoting your company, as you would in commercials, and the informational commercials, also called info commercials. The promotion continues with the imprinted products and reinforcing the brand images and material imprinted.

Not only does it offer all of the above benefits but it also helps to have a home reminder for the consumer that have the products at their home. For example, if the consumers were to grab a pen nearby and it happens to have the companies name, logo, address or phone number, than it is sitting at their home. Leaving a memory of the company and even possibly having something imprinted on the promotional product, that the consumer may need, and all they must do is look on the product for the information to get in contact with your company.

The business does not have to be a large-scale business to use promotional products. The smaller businesses including the mom and pop stores or restaurants will benefit in many ways to get the promotional advertisement needed. Drawing in the attention of smaller businesses allows others who never had heard of the business until they see an ink pen or a T-shirt with the name and city of the business on it.
