What are promotional products?
Promotional products are useful, tangible items imprinted with a brand or company’s name, logo or message, and are designed to increase brand awareness among existing or potential customers. Promo products are an incredibly powerful marketing tool since they are one of the only forms of advertising that allows consumers to interact with a brand on a physical level. As a result, branded giveaways and other promotional products often create a more memorable brand experience.
