Promotional Products Can Show Off Your Brand

One of the most significant findings that came from a BPMA (British Promotional Merchandise Association) survey is that promotional merchandise delivers a high return on investment (ROI). Much higher in fact compared to spends on radio and outdoor advertising with an ROI that is equal to TV and print advertising.

The survey found that nearly 80% of respondents said they were likely to do business with the company in the future, with 8 out of 10 (84 per cent) respondents stating that a branded promotional gift increased brand awareness.

Promotional products are an excellent tool for increasing your branding efforts. Not only are they kept by the recipients, but when they are used by those recipients, it can be looked at as an endorsement of sorts by their co-workers, friends, and family, who also become exposed to your brand through the use of the promotional product.

• 90% of recipients use a promotional product they received at least once a week.
• 10% of recipients pass a promotional product on to family or friends.
• 87% kept a promotional product for more than a year.
• 20.9% of recipients made a purchase after receiving a promotional product.

That is a very high success rate when you realize the lower level of effectiveness for other types of advertising:

• 4% made a purchase after viewing a print ad
• 1% made a purchase after watching a television commercial
• 6% made a purchase after seeing an online ad

More than half of promotional product recipients (56%) said that their impression of the company improved after receiving a branded item. That's pretty impressive.

This information from recipients of promotional products or branded gifts serves as proof that they work to increase your branding and improve the favorability of your company - even in a world that is heavy on Internet-ad focus. 

Promotional products have been around for decades. Think of pens, hats, shirts, coffee mugs and tote bags as an example. Coasters as a vehicle to promote beer brands have been around for even longer. And anything that can be printed can be printed on a coaster, acting like Mini-Billboards for any company to take advantage of. Almost every industry and business type is getting on the coaster ride. 

Why Coasters? It's about the IMPRESSIONS factor!
