Importance of Functional Promotional Items

Promotional products are an effective way to make hundreds or even thousands of impressions at a very low cost per.  These impressions are obviously gained with the recipient but many times they are also seen by those around them.

Choosing the right product for your company comes down to your available budget, determining the message you want to convey and how you will get the product into the hands of your recipient.

When I work with clients to create promotional campaigns, I always stress to choose items that will be viewed as functional by the recipient.  This is the best way to ensure that it will be seen on a regular basis or passed on to a friend or relative which will further your exposure.

Some of the most functional items available today are in the tech world.  As reported in a recent article on arstechnica.com, more than 90% of Americans use cell phones.  This is a very useful fact for companies that are looking for creative and functional ways to implement promotional campaigns in their business.  Choose from stylus items, cling screen cleaners, USB charges or even USB power banks that can recharge a phone without an outlet.  These items range in cost from under $1, which are great for general giveaways and branding, to items that cost about $20 each, these higher end items are great for client or employee appreciation gifts.

It's important to remember the key objective in promotional marketing that is to create an emotion in your recipient, this is what creates the memory of the item and where they received it.
