Will You Cash in on Year-End Buying Trends in Promotional Products?

We are presently in the most significant buying time of the year for promotional products and promotional merchandising. Think about all the uses of promotional material coming up in the next couple of months. Holiday gifts, employee incentives, client appreciation, the list goes on and on.

Promotional products are part of this time of year because of cost-effectiveness and product appreciation. These produce a buying trend that is unmatched in the retail marketing world. Odds are, even if you are not in the promo business, your clients may be asking about product as part of their spend with you. Why? Because promotional material is convenient, efficient and to the common consumer, all related, print or otherwise.

The next focus of this buying trend is to look at where these products are being purchased. The promotional products industry is, by all accounts, a people industry. Those involved in the marketplace take pride in creating and maintaining relationships with those that they do business with.
But, as in many industries today, online and e-commerce has become a significant focus. Consumers are familiar with going online and shopping for product. The promotional products industry is no exception. People want fast, available consumption. So, this trend is moving us all toward the necessity of providing online commerce.

The $23 billion promotional products industry has been relatively slow in meeting the demand of the online trends. However, what the industry has done is to develop a balance between the demands of the digital trends while maintaining a personal, relationship-centric industry. This means that as you get involved in the market, you can maintain the same interpersonal relationship with clients when they want it, and give them the freedom to buy online when they don’t.
