Don’t wait until the last minute for your Holiday Gifts and Holiday Promotional Items!

Travel mugs and thermos-type drink ware are great ideas for corporate gifts, fall promo items, event planning products, and more. These popular and widely used products will go a long way with your client/customer.  Whether driving to work, going to weekend soccer games, or attending your next corporate meeting, they definitely come in handy. I love my travel mugs and more than half of them that I own are in fact promotional gifts.  I am still using some for years; and make note, that quality is important.  I have had some of my favorite ones with logos that have rubbed off in a matter of weeks and months.

Good logo placement and quality artwork will make that last impression with your customers. Here are great ideas for Travel Mugs, Thermos items, and Fall Promotional products

As noted in relation to my previous posting here on the popularity of golf apparel, I just read an article on the ASI website, “Apparel on top” by Shane Dale, stating that apparel was the top product in 2005 for promotional products. “For the sixth year in a row, wearables are the number one product category sold by promotional product distributors. In fact, of all the products ordered by clients, 73% of distributors say that shirts were one of the top three items bought last year.”

Down the list according to distributors goes… writing instruments at 44%, desk and office accessories at 28%, and fourth place were glassware/mugs at 21.8%. A couple things mentioned that contributed to apparel’s success were; drop in price of T-Shirt manufacturing, good exposure for advertising, and a good return on investment.

According to ASI (Advertisting Specialty Institute), Reporters from around the nation are interested in learning more about the promotional products industry and the emphasis they have in marketing. They have featured ASI members and a variety of promotional products in more than 100 media outlets, ranging from television, magazines, new media and newspapers.

2 examples: May 26, 2006 - The legendary Don Polec, of Action 6 News in Philadelphia, highlights the new Logo Bean, the rocket pen, and imprinted roses at the ASI Show.  May 8, 2006 – Advertising Age published a two-page story about the power of promotional products.  The magazine has a readership of 240,000 executives.

More evidence of the important role of promotional products to marketing…

Lately we have been discussing how promotional products can help boost company advertising and the importance for  using them properly, especially at tradeshows, events, promotions, etc. Well, according to a recent Media Release article on the ASI Central website, the Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI) released results of its annual promotional products industry sales analysis, “indicating revenues jumped 5.1 percent from 2004 to $17.8 billion in 2005 -the third year of continuous increases and a new record.” This analysis, conducted by ASI, shows growth in 2005 was driven by “increased recognition that promotional products should be included in marketing campaigns and by the overall strength of the U.S. economy.”

Another news note from ASI’s Website… The Arizona Republic ran a survey that found that cities are following in “corporate footsteps by spending more on promotional products for public events; Phoenix and its surrounding suburbs have more than tripled the amount of money spent on promotional items from 2001 to 2005″. Well, it’s nice to know where to look for collections of new and popular promotional products for any occasion.  Thanks to all that have helped our industry thrive to succeed!
