Promotional Products - Here Is The Definitive List Of The Worlds Most Loved Business Gifts
Promotional Merchandise is a massive business but what are the top 10 best sellers of all time? This article tells you what they are and why. Promotional Clothing is an entirely different subject so don't be at all surprised to find that classics like embroidered polo shirts or printed T-shirts are nowhere to be seen. The list of business gifts below is based on the annual sales at one UK company and cannot therefore be a definitive list however as BTC Group are the largest privately owned manufacturers of Promotional Gifts and Promotional Clothing you can rest assured that it's pretty accurate.
1. Promotional pens still remain the number one best selling promotional Item of all time. They are sold in their billions across the globe every year. The reason they are so popular is that everyone needs one at some time. I seriously cannot see printed pens ever being knocked off the top of this list.
2. Promotional Keyrings follow very closely behind Promotional Pens because they too are used by the vast majority of people around the world. Plastic printed keyrings are the most popular of thief promotional gifts genre. Metal Keyrings follow behind but by quote a long way.
3. Printed Post-It-Notes are extremely popular business gifts. They are inexpensive but very useful which is why they come so high up on the list of promotional gifts. Although 3M were the first company to bring them to market there are now lots of printed sticky notes manufacturers around the world.
4. Printed Note Pads are very high on the list because they are inexpensive and yet offer a great branding opportunity. Their large print areas and the fact that you can brand them in full colour makes any sort of promotional notepads very popular.
5. Promotional Mousemats have crept in at number 5. They are inexpensive and yet offer a great branding opportunity. If you can get such a good promotional product on your client's desk then the pay per view cost in negligible.
6. Promotional Mugs have slipped a little in terms of business gifts. They have suffered somewhat from over exposure but still remain a good seller. The printed Sparta Mug is the least expensive and therefore most popular of the promotional mugs market.
7. Promotional Stress Toys now come in literally hundreds of different styles, shapes and sizes. You can even get your own bespoke stress items manufactured from as little as 500 pieces.
8. Stress balls still remain the best sellers in this bracket but stress fruit and vegetables are not far behind
9. Promotional Clocks offer such fantastic branding opportunities that it's hardly surprising that they are still one of the best known business gifts. Because people look at printed clocks at least a few times a day it means your logo or message will be read every time.
10. Promotional Travel Mugs have become very popular recently and are especially popular in schools. The reason for this is that teachers are not allowed to have open promotional earthenware mugs as they may spill hot drinks on the school children.
So there you are, your top 10 promotional gifts and why they are so popular. Look out for my next list of top 10 promotional clothing proucts and then you'll have the full set!
