Earlier this week we went through why promotional products are a good investment for startups even with a tight marketing budget. They are absolutely a long term investment, with 58% of people keeping the gift for 1 year to 4 years, according to the Promotional Products Association International.
What's more, 83% of people like to receive promotional products with an advertising message (although we are yet to meet the remaining 17%... Who doesn't like a free gift?!). To top it off, 89% of recipients could recall the company who gave them the give, according to the survey.

Do Your Research
Now you know that promotional products can be effective, it's important to do your research so that you're buying the right things for the right people. Firstly, who are your target audience? Research what they like and value within their age group. You could go one step further and set up a poll on social media and ask which product they would most like to receive - pretty much takes the guesswork out of it. Furthermore, ensure the products you buy fit your budget after taking into account additional fees such as potential shipping costs or set up charges. We have a wide range of budget options that are high quality and useful, making the perfect combination for a startup investment in promotional products. Ensure that the products you choose to order add value to your brand.
