Are you considering self-promotion, perhaps at a trade show or exhibition? Here we explain what branded promotional products are, and how they can help.
What is a branded promotional product?
A promotional product does what it says on the tin! Branded promotional items promote your business. The product will often bear your company name and contact details, perhaps a logo and a call to action. These products are given out freely to current or prospective customers and clients, and can be used to promote an event, a product launch or a new service.
What branded promotional products are there?
Today, the variety and choice of promotional products is vast. From baseball caps and hoodies, to tote bags and mugs, business owners can take their pick. However, by far the most popular products are stationery items including plastic pens and metal pens, branded notebooks and pens, and personalised pencils, which are all great marketing giveaway items.
Are promotional products the same as advertising?
The main difference between promotional products and advertising is the cost. Running an advertising campaign can run into the thousands. Newspaper, magazine and even social media adverts are beyond the reach of start-up and small businesses, whereas branded pens are cost-effective and can be used again and again, to create a long lasting impression.
The benefits of promotional merchandise products
As already mentioned, promotional products provide low cost advertising. Perfect for distributing at trade fairs and exhibitions, a branded ballpoint pen, for example, will give you daily exposure and can aid brand visibility and awareness. Branded stationery products in particular are practical items that will actually be used.
