Promotional Products Top Traditional Media As Preferred
Advertising Choice


     In a 2009 study of the advertising purchasing habits of end buyers, respondents ranked promotional products as their top advertising choice over mainstream media including television, newspaper and internet. The study, a survey of more than 1,000 buyers, was conducted by researchers at Louisiana State University and Glenrich Business Studies for Promotional Products Association International (PPAI),  Irving, Texas (November 24, 2009) 
 

     Participants were asked to evaluate promotional products, television, direct mail, newspapers, consumer magazines, trade publications, internet and social media with regard to eight attributes associated with marketers' needs. Of those, promotional products outranked the other media in five categories (see bold). Attributes evaluated were:
  • Ability to achieve long-term memorability at the cost of paying only for a single exposure
  • Flexibility to fit the cost of the medium to available budget 
  • Ability to bond audience to advertiser so as to promote repeat business
  • Audience friendly (i.e., not so likely to offend or be regarded as a nuisance)
  • Ability to generate traffic (e.g., stores, tradeshows, events)
  • Best cost-per-thousand (CPM) to reach selective or niche audiences
  • Ability to personalize messages or recipients' names
  • Best cost-per-thousand (CPM) to reach mass audiences
