You want your brand to be front of mind when your audience are making buying decisions. To help keep you there high-quality promotional merchandise needs to be a key part of your marketing strategy.

Here are 10 reasons why you should be using promotional merchandise:

1. Boost your branding power

The promotional products industry in the UK is now worth more than £1.2 billion. This is because promotional branding merchandise is a vital contributor to the sales success of many businesses. By having your brand featured on handy and accessible products your audience are using every day, keeps you front of mind and relevant. This is a simple, and often cost effective, way to promote your business, brand and services.

2. Build brand awareness with promotional products

Want to provide your audience with a constant, tangible reminder of your business? A clever promotional item can enable your brand and messages to be seen regularly and consistently, building awareness of your brand for the long term.

4. Make your brand memorable with branded merchandise

The right promotional products will excite and engage your target audience about your brand and messaging. In fact, when recipients are gifted branded products, they often generate an emotional response. According to a British Promotional Merchandise Association 2020 survey, 44% of recipients found their promotional product fun, while 85% highlighted them as useful. Promotional products that convey your brand in a unique way will keep your audience talking about you. From branded mugs, eco-friendly water bottles and confectionery gifts to student backpacks, cotton shoppers, umbrellas and recycled lanyards, we can help make your items more memorable. Got an event coming up? Start a conversation with visitors to your stand with a branded confectionery. Or surprise your customers with a branded gift hidden in their order. Presenting at a conference? Give attendees items they can use again, like a pen or mug featuring your business logo. Your options are endless.

5. Build brand trust and recognition

A bespoke promotional product aligned with your brand values can be an important marketing tool when it comes to gaining your audience’s confidence and loyalty. Building their trust and recognition of your brand over time can not only help cement your reputation as a dependable business, but also increase those all-important sales. Make your merchandise reusable and your brand will remain a relevant and positive reminder of your services for years to come.

6. Strengthen corporate identity and staff loyalty
