What is the most popular promotional gift?

Everyone loves a free promotional gift but make sure it’s useful!

We love helping our client’s with all aspects of their marketing strategy.  One form of marketing is the branded promotional gift and we’re often asked to come up with ideas and source items for new and existing clients. Infact according to the BPMA (Promotional Merchandise Association) 7 in 10 Marketeers use promotional products to raise brand awareness, confirming that the good old giveaway is here to stay!

There are so many new and innovative products on the market that you are lost for choice when choosing the perfect giveaway.  We have sourced many great products for our clients and are always on the lookout for the new best thing.  However, sometimes we do think simpler, the better, as seeing your client writing with a stylish pen or a printed mug embossed with your logo is always very satisfying!

What are the most popular merchandise gifts?

The last thing anyone wants is for the person receiving your promotional merchandise to toss it in the nearest bin, so do think carefully when choosing your product.  The right product will help build lasting awareness and also get your name in front of potential customers.

The most popular branded items are: mugs, pens and t-shirts, USB sticks and electrical products.  Branded workwear is still very popular and a great way of getting your brand across to a wider audience.
