Welcome to Ottawa Promo Items!

Promotional items are a fun and effective way of getting your business on the map. If your business is still young, it can plant brand awareness while serving a purpose to the people in your community – a win-win situation if there ever was one. Let’s think about why they’re so useful, and how to get the most out of your company’s gifts and giveaways.

Research has shown that people have more positive views of companies after they have received promotional products. The majority of people, 61%, also report that they are encouraged to look into the products of the company after receiving a promotional item. Receiving a gift has a positive effect on recruiting new customers (source: 2FPCO – Etude de l’object publicitaire en France 2011);

Writing instruments continue to be the most frequently used promotional products(German and US study);

Pens, USB sticks and key rings are the items most likely to be carried around in briefcase or handbag (source: UK survey);

Promotional products deliver a lower cost per impression than any other media(source: ASI global study);

Receivers keep items that are useful such as calendars, pens, mugs, mouse mats, golf balls, USB sticks and bags. On average over 70% of respondents keep the items (source: ASI global study)

People love “free.” Free merchandise excites people, and if your promotional items provide value, your efforts will give you equitable return. Promotional merchandise can fall under two common categories, the common merchandise and specialized merchandise. Common merchandise is kept around the office and used to give to clients and customers on a need basis. Specialized merchandise can be created for a certain events or tradeshows to pass out, commonly providing value to your customers. Common promotional items include hats, bags, pens, t-shirts and coffee mugs. However, nowadays you are able to brand just about anything with your company name and logo, giving you more flexibility in your promotional merchandise.

Great promotional items do the following:

Target customers and give them what they need and want.
Are attractive and communicate your brand message.
Are in-line with your brand image.
