5 Reasons Why Promo Items are Crucial for Any Business

This article states that promo items draw 500% more referrals from customers who are satisfied with the gift they received. That is some serious ROI.

A rule of thumb when selecting products is to choose something that people will use on a regular basis, like oh, I don’t know—hats for instance. If you take it even further and create a high-quality, stylish product users will want to wear on a regular basis, you’ll get even more attention.
