The promotional products distributor allbranded from Hamburg sees itself not only as a seller, but also as an expert in its industry. This is why the allbranded team has conducted its first survey on the subject of “Promotional items in companies and organisations”. And it certainly delivered some positive results for this three-dimensional advertising medium.

allbranded used a survey to carry out a detailed analysis of various aspects of the subject: How important are promotional products nowadays for companies and organisations? And how important will they be in the future? What are the most common reasons for using promotional gifts? What attributes should they have in order to be viewed positively? And what role does COVID-19 play here? These and other questions covering the subject of promotional merchandise were put to 120 employees at various companies and organisations. They delivered some fascinating results:

●  80% of respondents use promotional products regularly in their company or organisation and recognise how important the tactile qualities of this type of advertising are for their business.

●  Over 60% of those surveyed rank promotional merchandise in their top-three most important marketing measures. This means that promotional gifts win out over the digital marketing activities SEA and SEO.

●  A majority of respondents use promotional items to direct attention to their own brand, to boost popularity and attract new customers.

●  The subject of sustainability is constantly gaining in importance in the promotional merchandise industry as sustainable promotional products certainly represent a decisive factor for a majority of recipients.

●  8 out of 10 respondents indicated that their budget for promotional merchandise will stay the same for the next three years or even increase. For the majority of participants in the survey, promotional gifts are at least as important today as they were before the COVID-19 pandemic.

International resonance

The great majority of respondents use promotional merchandise for their business. Whereas for just 20% of respondents, promotional merchandise plays no role in their company or organisation. The majority however recognise the crucial advantages that promotional gifts offer for their success.

The online survey was conducted between March and April 2022. 120 employees from companies, institutions or organisations were asked 19 questions. Participants were based in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and the UK. According to allbranded “data was compiled with all due care and to the best of our knowledge but there is no claim that content is up-to-date or exhaustive. This is not a scientific study.”
