A promotional product can be virtually anything.
When choosing one, you will need to consider the message, the budget and the overall cost of manufacturing/printing of it. Your largest determining factor will be finding the options that are within your budget. You can do this through any of the numerous websites that offer promotional products for you to choose from. But, that is not all of your cost. Oftentimes, printing is more as well as the cost of getting those products into the consumer's hands.
So, what can you use?
You can use pretty much anything that you want to, really. For example, if you printed up and provide 100 associates with mugs that bared your logo on it, with a website or message, it would not be just those 100 people that would hear that message. It will be all individuals who see them carrying the mug to and from work, on the bus, or come in to see them at the office. It will be all those individuals who visit their homes or watch the game with them as they sip from their mug.
As you can see, the promotional product can be quite beneficial to you. Other products such as shirts and jackets can be even more powerful. But, it is wise to keep in mind that just because an individual sees the product that doesn't mean they will act on it. To get them to do this, you need to have a powerful marketing logo, slogan or design. The combination of these elements can do wonders for a company!
