Nowadays almost all companies have started investing in promotional items. Promotional items make a powerful brand statement. Most companies realising the potential of promotional items have started purchasing them in bulk, to keep the cost per item as low as possible. Moreover, they are becoming interested in a single type of promotional item. That particular promotional item becomes a niche product of that brand or company and is used almost as a trademark. It’s an option of marketing and PR experts believe that by establishing key promotional items synonymous to a company, helps in solidifying its brand presence. What they actually mean to say is that by having limited number of promotional items, a company enables people to recognise them through those items.
Incorporating promotional items into the marketing budget generally fits into the overall budget of the organisation quite easily. It is mostly a lesser cost compared to advertising in the print or electronic media. Moreover, it should also compliment and enhance the other promotional and advertising efforts of the company. If this happens then the entire marketing campaign gets a powerful boost and the company, in time, will be able to create a spectacular effect on the public.
It’s always best to use promotional items that are meant to remain is use for long periods of time. For example if you choose to make promotional pens your brand mascot, then avoid using ball pens as they are usually thrown away after the ink has been used up. A fountain pen is definitely a better choice in this regard. Fountain pens have a sense of class attached to them, which makes them an excellent promotional item. In a survey conducted in 1993, it was found that salesmen who distributed promotional items received 26% more referrals than those who didn't offer free gifts. In a similar study conducted in 1994, it was recorded that companies that distributed branded promotional products were able generate 35% more repurchases than those that didn’t.
