As you can see promotional product such a USB stick and calendars easily perform better on cost per impression than tradition forms of media like radio.

- 66% of participants could recall the brand on the promotional product
- their image of the brand improved with 56% stating this after receiving promotional product
Many companies find it difficult to decide which promotional product to implement as they want the product to be useful for consumers so that the benefits like increase awareness are fully exploited. This data shows which product consumers find most useful.
The most popular promotional products in terms of favorites listed by those who were surveyed were USB drives, pens, an electrical item, or a mug.
