Imprinted Promotional Products Yield Lowest Cost per Impression of any Advertising Medium
Jan 5, 2009
The results are in… and the June/July 2008 survey of 618 business people on behalf of the Advertising Specialty Institute prove that imprinted promotional products return the best return on investment of any advertising medium.
A summary of the conclusions of the report are:
-Instant recall: More than 8 out of 10 (84%) respondents remembered the advertisers of the promotional products they’re received.
-Very impressionable: 42% of respondents had a MORE favorable impression of an advertiser after receiving the item. And nearly a quarter (24%) said they are MORE likely to do business with the advertiser on the items they receive.
- It’s all business: Most respondents (62%) have done business with the advertiser on a promotional product after receiving the item.
-User-friendly: The majority (81%) of promotional products were kept because they were considered useful.
-Staying power: More than three-quarters of respondents have had their items for more than 6 months.
- Bag it!: Among wearables, imprinted tote bags were reported to be used most frequently with respondents indicating that they used their bags an average of 9 times per month. They also deliver the most impressions: Each bag averages 1,038 impressions per month.
-Most impressive: The average CPI of an advertising specialty item is $0.004; as a result, marketers get a more favorable return on investment from advertising specialties than nearly any other popular advertising media.
