Promotional (Promo) Products Defined:

Promo products are useful or decorative merchandise that is utilized in marketing and communication programs, and are usually imprinted with a company's name, logo or message.

Promo gifts, when distributed free, are called advertising specialties; when given as an incentive for a specific action, they are known as advertising premiums. Personalized executive gifts, awards, and commemoratives are also considered promotional products.

Promo items can be used alone, or integrated with other media, in limitless ways. Popular programs are Business/Executive Gifts; Employee Relations/Recognition; Travel or Safety Programs, and Trade Show Promotions to generate booth traffic.

Promo products are also effective for dealer/distribution programs, co-op programs, company or corporate stores, generating new customers or new accounts, nonprofit fundraising, public awareness campaigns, and for promotion of brand awareness and brand loyalty.
