Promotional items are worth the investment because unlike other forms of advertising where someone sees an advertisement only once, a promotional item is always in use and that person will see the logo, business name, phone number and website address multiple times.
As in any form of advertising a business owner must look at the cost per impression and promotional items have a cost per impression of 0.002 to 0.005 cents per impression depending on the promotional item that the business owner chooses. This is better than the cost per impression for television advertising which ranges from 0.007 to 0.019 cents.
Promotional items also offer a great return on investment because they have a high pass along rate. For example: many promotional items like t-shirts end up in thrift stores after they have been in use for a while and are purchased by consumers who give them a second life.
A recent study showed that 84% of people who received a promotional item of some kind remembered that companies name afterward.
Top of the mind awareness or TOMA should be the goal for any business owner so that when potential customers think of their industry they will think of that business as the place where they will purchase the items that they need.
Many business owners around the world are seeing that promotional items are working better than other forms of marketing like Yellow Page advertising or television ads because thanks to the Internet, consumers are seeing fewer ads in traditional forms of advertising like they did in the past.
More studies on the effectiveness of promotional items have also shown that 62% of people who have received a promotional reported that they have done business with the company that sent the promotional item.
