Promotional Products Prove Effective in Brand Recall| Graphic Direction Brings in Better Production and Item Lineup

To help support businesses, Graphic Direction has improved its production time and item lineup helping create brand awareness for businesses across industries.

Promotional products have been used in advertising campaigns of companies throughout the years. However, as standards or traditional forms of marketing have been struggling against more innovative methods like digital technology, there have been concerns whether physical components still have as much effect.

In a study from PPAI, around seven in 10 customers remember at least one promotional item given to them in the past year. The result is consistent with previous studies supporting the impact and recall potential of such items. From the respondents who remembered receiving the products, around 70% claimed they received two or more products after.

Among the findings, one of the most important is the rate of recall about the message and advertiser. PPAI noted that recall potential is extremely high. According to the stats, around 88% of consumers who received business gifts recalled the company or brand within the year whereas 71% recalled the brand or advertiser via other media such as magazines or newspapers. This supports the power of giving away items in light of branding.

More importantly, the study also narrowed down the categories of items with the highest recall potential:

• Wearables (41%): Including Shirts (22%), Caps/Headwear (11%), Outerwear(6%)
• Other Wearables (2%)
• Writing Instruments (35%)
• Drinkware (19%)

However, it is also important for companies to consider time of exposure and other distractions.
