Whilst the very top few Promotional Merchandise products tend to remain the same there is always a few newcomers into the most popular ones. This article brings you right up to date with the very latest industry figures and may hold a few surprised for you.
1.Promotional Pens
Still number one in the charts and unlikely ever to be removed from the top of the tree. Promotional Pens come in so many varieties, sizes and colours and every single one of them is practical, useful and always well received. These days Promotional Writing Instruments are given away free in so many outlets such as banks, shops and restaurants that it's surprising that they are ever sold in retail shops.
2.Promotional Keyrings
By far one of the most cost effective Promotional Items that you can buy. The humble keyring is usually kept until it is lost or falls apart so if you assume that most people use their keys 4 times a day for 7 days a week that makes the logo on them seen around 1500 times a year. If you divide up the cost per view the Promotional Keyring must be one of the most cost effective Promotional Giveaways in the world.
3.Promotional T- Shirts
You only have to walk down the road to see just how effective Promotional T-Shirts are and how successful they are at getting your message across to the wider public. Everyone from rock bands to sporting teams and from charities to clubs and associations use these and other Promotional Clothing products to spread the word.
4 Promotional Mugs
Promotional Mugs are used every day in offices, schools factories, in fact everywhere anybody works or plays and very few are plain, they all seem to have a message to get over. These days it's not just Budget Ceramic Mugs but Bone China Promotional Mugs that are being used more and more.
5 Promotional Stress Products
Every shape and product you can think of and probably a few you can't even imagine are now being made to relieve stress. With the latest printing technology now being employed for the branding of these items a full 4 colour process print is now possible.
6 Promotional Calculators
You can always count on these Promotional Products..... literally. Calculators are always a welcome gift and are particularly popular when given away in conjunction with financial products such as car insurance or pensions.
7 Promotional Pedometers
The healthy lifestyle promoted in newspapers and magazines has helped the Pedometer into the top ten of Promotional Giveaways. They now come in all shapes and sizes and can now even be incorporated into Promotional MP3 Players. Promotional Bottled Water is also a popular second product given away with the pedometers
8 Promotional Mousemats
Even though Laptops with integrated mouse pads are more and popular the mousemat remains a firm favourite in terms of Promotional Products. Available in hard and soft formats and in any shape to suit your promotion they are a very practical gift that will stay on a clients desk for a long time.
9. Promotional Flash Drives
Whilst these items are not inexpensive they provide great value for money as they are used constantly by the recipients. They are available in any shape required and the memory chip has lots of variable sizes. One slight problem is that because the chips are a commodity they almost always need to be quoted on a daily basis.
10.Promotional Folders
Almost falling off the list but hanging on in there are Folders, the one exception this to this are Leather Conference Folders which continue to be extremely popular with clients that want to impress.
