Promotional products are undoubtedly one of the oldest forms of marketing. Small- and medium-sized businesses in Canada spend billions of dollars every year giving away pens, pencils, customized USB cards, and other items imprinted with a logo or brand name. There are several theories about why promotional products work, the art of reciprocity being the main reason. Psychologists have found that when people receive something as a gift, they are honor-bound to return the favor. But not all promotional products are equal—some remain all-time favorites while others are novel ideas you could experiment with to attract your targeted audiences.

These purchases come from a rising middle class across the globe as well as the eco-friendly efforts of the world’s youth.
