Branded Merchandise Benefits
Branded merchandise plays an important role in a diverse, comprehensive marketing and promotional plan. As an officially-licensed partner, you can play a major role in pushing a publicity plan to new heights. Branded merchandise and promotional products are proven winners in building brand value and return on investment:
- A single promo item gets 340 impressions per month. An order of 1,000 items = 340,000 monthly impressions.
- 70% of people connect the quality of a promo item with the quality of the company.
- 90% of people own branded drinkware.
