Everyone needs to advertise in some way and promotional products are the most cost-effective way to do this when compared with media advertising. Most people, when watching TV programs often change the channel or find something else to do when a commercial comes on. In this way the advertiser does not get his point across if a viewer does not wish to listen. Promotional products, however, are a more convenient, longer lasting way of advertising because they are part of the customer's environment.

to the advertiser.

When is business gifts used?
Business gift giving is about building and sustaining relationships. It’s about encouraging loyalty, inspiring good will and expressing gratitude, all-important missions in any business climate. However a gift is not a substitute for a relationship that doesn’t exist. Ideally, it should not be a perfunctory and careless act. And it is most definitely not a bribe.
Although much of corporate gift giving takes place at the end of the year holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah) business gift giving is more efficient when it is a year-round process.
