What to Look for in a Promotional Product

This article states that the three most important things to consider when choosing a promotional product are practicality, longevity, and versatility.

Practicality refers to the usefulness of the product. For instance, hats protect you from the sun and hide bad hair days. Longevity is the length of time the product is kept and used. Caps are kept for an average of 10 months ¹ by the initial recipient. But, many consumers report re-gifting promo items once they're done using them. Choosing a product that is versatile means it will fit in no matter where you use it: trade shows ², conventions, workshops, etc.

Keep these in mind when selecting a cap to represent your business and you won't go wrong.

Another sector we've covered in the past is the specialty beverage ⁹ and alcohol ¹⁰ industries.
