Promotional products are useful and/or symbolic products which are used in advertising and communication as communication vehicles, goodwill reminders, signs, gifts and incentives.

Promotional Product Categories

· Advertising Specialties
Ad specialties have these key elements: 1) an advertising or promotional message;
2) placed on (or with) a useful item, and 3) given with no strings attached.

· Premiums and Incentives
Give a useful item with some strings attached (e.g. buy this book and get a free bookmark) and the item becomes a premium. A promotional product is a premium when it is offered as an incentive to produce a specific action.

· Recognition Awards
Plaques, service pins, trophies, award jewellery and other gifts that signify performance or honours can be categorized as recognition awards.

· Business Gifts
Typically given by businesses to customers and employees, and occasionally, to influentials and suppliers. In the context used here, business gifts are not extravagant gifts and trips. Gift-giving reasons cited by companies are: To thank customers, to develop business, to recognize employee performance and longevity, because customers expect them, and others.
