Today, we’re looking at how a promotional gift can provide the most consistent ROI of any other advertising medium. We’ll also look at how to increase your brand exposure using social media.
But first, let’s look at something how two companies created a ball cap out of an Ikea bag and people are loving it.
Promo Marketing
Now Those Ikea Bags are Hats
Streetwear companies Pleasures and Chinatown Market have taken the iconic 99-cent Ikea shopping bag and turned it into a cap they’re selling for $38. Talk about ROI.
The funny thing is, customers are eating them up! I wonder if Ikea is upset their bag design has been stolen and reused for another purpose, or if they’re just happy to get the free publicity. What do you think?

When it Comes to ROI, Promotional Products Rule
Did you know that most people pass along a promotional gift to a family member, friend, or co-worker when they’re done with it rather than throwing it away? This increases your exposure significantly without increasing your spending. Your promotional gift will have quite the lifespan, gaining new impressions for your brand all the time.
Products that appeal to the largest audience and deliver positive returns include:
- Bags, Backpacks, & Totes
- Caps & Headwear
- Writing Instruments
- Shirts
- Calendars, Diaries & Planners
