Marketing is an inevitable and extremely important part of any the growth strategy of any business. There is cut throat competition prevalent in the business world today. Several companies providing similar products and services are vying for a larger share of the market. In such a situation, it is not sufficient to sell good quality products and services because there are other people doing the same. It is important to create a positive image of your organization in the minds of the target customers. Advertising and promotional campaigns are the method used by organizations to convey this positive image to the public.

If we look at television and print media advertisements nowadays, we will notice that everyone wants to create an impression of providing the best customer service and something extra for the money spent by the customer. At the same time, an image of a socially and environmentally responsible organization is also aimed at by different businesses. However, these forms of advertising are extremely expensive. At the same time, their impact on the audience is not very long lasting, because the audience is exposed to these promotional messages for a very short time. People tend to forget about the advertisement as soon as it gets over. Hence it is necessary to convey a message in a way that people remember it for a longer time.

This can be easily accomplished with the help of promotional gifts. Useful items like key chains, mugs, caps, sports bags, T-shirts etc. are popular promotional gifts. These items are such that people tend to use them in their daily lives. A good idea is to have the name of your organization printed on these items. As a result, every time that someone uses this item, he or she will be reminded of your organization. At the same time, they will associate the good quality and usefulness of the item with your organization. Due to this, they will opt for your organization when in need.

It has been observed that promotional gifts are highly effective in today’s business world. They give your organization a definite edge over your competitors, as they convey a very positive image of your organization.
