Research data round-up: The numbers behind promo products
Whether the goal is to increase consumer loyalty, warm up business prospects, or encourage your biggest brand fans' evangelism, a promotional product campaign can work harder for you than almost any other type of messaging.
 
Here's the data organized by campaign goal for you:
•• Long-lasting/repeat exposure:
• 73% of those who used the promotional product that they had received stated that they used it at least once a week
• 45.2% used it at least once a day

•• An increase of company image
• 52.1% of participants reported having a more favorable impression of the advertiser since receiving the item.

•• Generation of business
• 52% of participants in the study did business with the advertiser after receiving the promotional product.
• Of those who had not done business with the advertiser that gave them the product, almost half stated that they were more likely to do business with the company that gave them the item.

•• Increase in referrals
• Accompanying a request for referrals, an offer of a promotional product incentive or an offer of a promotional product incentive and eligibility in a sweepstakes drew as many as 500% more referrals than an appeal letter alone.
