The Gift that Keeps on Giving!
Who doesn’t love receiving a present? It instills a sense of gratitude and warmth towards the giver. Now, imagine your message visibly linked to such a joyous moment. Today we’re looking at the power of promotional product marketing in 2022.
The Psychology Behind Promotional Products
Firstly, consumers are likely to remember a brand with great fondness if they receive a useful or thoughtful gift. A popular study published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology demonstrated the power of promotional products by showing that a single mint presented with the check at the end of dinner resulted in a 3% increase in tips.
Why? The server provided a psychological surprise of the mint. As a result, said recipient of the mint will appreciate this and the server is seen as considerate! The recipient developed a positive perception of the server, therefore tipping higher as a result. And that gift – a promo item made customers feel happy and personally appreciated.
It’s also important to remember that generally, the more unique a promotional product is, the more likely clients will remember that product, and in turn, your branding.
What are promotional products?
Next, let’s break down what promo marketing actually consists of.
Typically persuasive in nature, “Promo” refers to any promotional product used to engage and inform target audiences.
Today, promotional products are one ingredient in crafting the cake that is an excellent multichannel marketing campaign. Some other channel possibilities are,
- TV/movie Ads & Product Placement
- Social media posts
- Branded clothing
- Billboards Etc.
Types of Promotional Gear
Apparel

Look around you right now and count how many branded items and promotional gear are within your eyesight. Creating T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and other apparel is a great way to remember your logo visually.
Technology
The second category of promotional products is technology. Fun tech is a wonderful way to look current and cool to your constituents who value modern solutions that make their day-to-day life easier.
