T he ASI Ad
Impressions Study was first launched in 2006 by ASI’s research team to give its members powerful data that proves ad specialties are one of the most high-impact, cost-effective ad mediums available. Through thousands of live and online interviews with businesspeople and college students in key cities in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, the study gauges consumer perceptions of promotional products and how they influence buying decisions; highlights the popularity of key promo product categories by demographic group (such as age, race, sex and gender); reveals the cost-per-impression of top advertising specialty product categories; and shows the cost-per-impression of promotional products compared to other forms of advertising media, like radio, TV and Internet advertising. The study is conducted by ASI annually. Methodology This report contains results from the 2012 study and additional research which took place in 2013. For the 2013 phase of the study, conducted during May through July of 2013, ASI’s research team and business partners interviewed businesspeople in nine metro areas: Atlanta, Boston, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Madrid, Rome, Berlin/Düsseldorf and Sydney. In Germany, ASI partnered with PSI (Promotional Product Service Institute) to administer the surveys, while Pantheon Systems conducted the research in Sydney, Australia. Respondents in all regions were asked questions about the promotional products they had received, including how many they had, how they used them, why they kept them, and their impressions of the advertisers that gave them the items. ASI’s research team polled 7,000+ consumers in 21 metro areas to prove the power of promotional products. Further, an online panel survey was conducted among recipients of advertising specialties in those same geographic areas to augment the sample from the man-on-the-street interviews. All respondents were at least 18 years old. Results from the 2012 ASI Ad Impressions Study have been incorporated here so that additional metro areas can be included in the analysis as well as providing a more robust view of the U.S. Last year there were 12 metro areas: New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. This brings the total number of metro areas covered by the report over the two-year period to 21, eight of which took place outside of the U.S. There are responses from eight different countries in the report. The total combined number of interviews, both in person and online, for both waves of this study is 7,145. How This Report is Organized This report contains three sections: • “Product Popularity” (Pages 4 to 18) highlights the most popular promotional products by category, and includes detailed demographic breakdowns by geography, gender, race, age, income and political affiliation. For example, on the “Product Spotlight: Writing Instruments” section on page 5, you’ll note that women are significantly more likely than men to own a logoed pen or pencil, and over one-half of Caucasians own branded writing instruments. This section will be a helpful tool for distributors to use in guiding their clients toward products that will be the most impactful in their marketing efforts. • Recipients’ Views on Advertisers” (Pages 19 to 22) reveals important information showcasing how long “ businesspeople hold onto logoed items; what they do with items they don’t wish to keep; and how many total promotional items they own, broken out by a variety of demographic groups. This section provides hard data to combat objections from buyers who may think that promotional items are “throwaways” or “afterthoughts” in a marketing campaign, and may not understand their true value. • “Promo Products Make an Impression” (Pages 23 to 25) highlights the industry products that deliver the best cost-per-impression and compares the cost-per-impression of ad specialties to other forms of media, like Internet and radio advertising. This is a great tool distributors can use to convince end-buyers to allocate more of their marketing dollars to promotional products.

Section One Product Popularity
Key Takeaways For this section, respondents were asked to provide up to three promotional items they had received in the last 12 months. Promotional items were defined as items that include pens, T-shirts, mugs, calendars or any items that have a logo or message from an advertiser on them; they are usually given away for free to consumers in hopes of positively influencing their purchasing preferences or their attitudes toward the advertiser.

Staying Power In addition
to identifying the logoed items they had kept, respondents were asked how long they kept the most recently-obtained item of each product type. On average, ad specialty items are kept for nearly seven months in the U.S. Overall, calendars are typically held the longest - about nine months on average. Writing instruments are held the shortest amount of time at just over five months. Fun fact The longest time an item was kept was in Madrid, where calendars were kept nearly 13 months. The shortest was in Rome, where writing instruments were kept only 4.1 months.

SHIRTS HEALTH/SAFETY WRITING INSTRUMENTS 0.0 Key 2.0 6.0 6.0 5.8 5.5 5.3 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Takeaways • One of the advantages promotional products have is that just one item can deliver a message for a far longer time period than other forms of advertising. Advertisers can reinforce their brand or a call to action for an average of seven months, and even longer on some products such as calendars and outerwear. • Perhaps not surprisingly, calendars are kept for a long period. This offers advertisers obvious advantages, but because of their longevity, steps should be taken to keep the product noticed. For example, a changing image each month is key; so is positioning an advertiser’s logo in a prominent spot on each page. ©2013 Advertising Specialty Institute®. All Rights Reserved. 15

Promo Products are
Passed Along Since the study was first conducted in 2008, U.S. recipients of ad specialties are increasingly passing them along, extending the advertisers’ reach. In fact, 63% of respondents in the U.S. said that when they receive a logoed item they no longer wish to keep, they give it to someone else. Canadian and Australian respondents were more likely to give an item to someone else (64%) than any other group examined. Fun fact Germans are the most likely to discard promotional products they no longer wish to keep; 28% disposed of them as compared to 17% in the U.S. Consumers in London are the least likely to throw away promotional products.

Items are kept because they’re useful, or given to someone who can use them. Advertisers’ messages often go beyond the initial target. • As awareness of recycling in the U.S. has become more prevalent, so has the desire to pass along unwanted promotional products. ©2013 Advertising Specialty Institute®.

Usefulness is Key Consumers
will be much more likely to keep a promotional product that is useful, according to the survey. About eight in 10 (77%) of product recipients indicated that an item’s usefulness is the primary reason to keep it. In addition, 29% of recipients said they kept an item because it’s attractive, and 29% say they keep a promotional product simply because it’s “enjoyable to have.” Interestingly, it’s nearly as important for outerwear to be attractive (60%) and enjoyable to have (51%) as it is to be useful (70%). In addition to being useful, the need for caps to be both attractive (42%) and enjoyable to have (41%) is also high.

Section Two: Recipients’
Views on Advertisers Recipients’ Views on Advertisers For this section, we asked respondents whether they could identify the advertisers on the promotional items they currently owned. The result: Nearly nine in 10 (86%) U.S. recipients of promotional merchandise can identify the advertiser on the item, the highest of any country in the study. As the graphic below reveals, of all major product categories, outerwear has the highest recognition of all promotional items: 95% of respondents who have logoed outerwear can name the advertiser on the items. Overall, wearables as a whole maintain a very high advertiser awareness rate, taking the top three spots. On Average 86% Remember the Advertiser Owners of ad specialties recall the advertiser 86% of the time. Fun fact Key Takeaways Advertiser awareness is high in other countries as well. In Canada, 85% of respondents can identify the advertiser. In all other countries in the study, recipients were able to recall the advertiser on a promotional item about 80% of the time. • Distributors who have clients looking to get their company or brand’s name in the marketplace have a compelling reason to suggest advertising specialties as a marketing solution: Promotional product recipients clearly remember the advertisers on the items they receive. • The more interaction recipients of promotional items have with the item, the higher the recognition of the advertiser. This explains in part why wearables lead the way with advertiser recall. Further, a higher perceived value of the product, such as that obtained with outerwear, increases advertiser recognition even more. Distributors looking to present clients with an item of high perceived value that has high advertiser recognition might consider higher-end wearables as an option. ©2013 Advertising Specialty Institute®.

Swaying Opinions In this
section, we also asked consumers their opinions of advertisers who gave them a logoed item. Over one-half (53%) of the time, ad specialties leave a more favorable impression of the advertiser. This trend was seen across all countries. Outerwear leaves the most positive attitude about the advertiser, as three-quarters (75%) of branded outerwear recipients had a more favorable impression of the advertiser. Positive attitudes about the advertiser are correlated with advertiser recall. Once again, the top three products generating positive feelings are also the most likely to have advertiser recall. An exception to that rule is health and safety products, which have a lower advertiser recollection but generate favorable impressions about the advertiser. Fun fact Italians were even more likely to feel favorable towards the advertiser, with nearly two-thirds (64%) of those in Rome citing a more positive view, by far the most of any group.

Key Takeaway All categories of promotional products generate favorable impressions of the advertisers as a whole. Steps should be taken when presenting recipients with items that are seen as more of a commodity (like writing instruments) to reinforce the advertiser connection with the item. ©2013 Advertising Specialty Institute®.

Ad Specialties Generate
New Business When consumers were asked how likely they were to do business with an advertiser they hadn’t previously done business with after receiving an item, over one-third (36%) said they were more likely to do business with them in the future. Fun fact Perhaps in part because of the good will generated by ad specialties in Rome, Italians were also the most likely to cite a positive likelihood for doing new business, as nearly one-half (48%) thought they would be more likely to do business with the advertiser. Further, 17% thought it very likely, twice that of any other area.

Key Takeaway A goal of advertising is to get the prospect more likely to buy from the advertiser. This is often done in incremental amounts. Even the lowest-scoring ad specialty (health and safety) still manages to get nearly one-quarter of recipients to feel more likely to do business with the advertiser in the future. ©2013 Advertising Specialty Institute®.

Section Three Promotional Products Make an Impression For
this section, the average number of impressions each promotional product receives was calculated. The number of impressions a product makes was derived from multiplying how long a recipient has the product to how many people he comes into contact with each month while using it. In the U.S., we again saw that bags generated the most impressions (5,983) of any item in the study. That’s because bags are frequently used, often in public places where they can be seen by many people. Other items that deliver extremely high numbers of impressions in the U.S. include writing instruments, caps, outerwear, calendars and shirts. The accompanying charts illustrate the top five products, by country, that deliver the most impressions: The Most Impressions in the U.S. 5,983 3,134 Impressions 2,999 Impressions Impressions 2,288 2,167 2,805 2,253 Impressions Impressions In the U.S., bags generate the most impressions by far.

8 s 5 s Key Takeaway While the
exact ranking of impressions changes somewhat from location to location, the overall list of products generating the most impressions is consistent. Impressions Wearables consistently deliver a high number of impressions, and in the U.S., bags deliver the most impressions every year. 2,167 Items that create the fewest impressions tend to be those intended mostly for one person, such as health and safety items and USB drives. The value of these items is more in the connection they make with the user than the total number of Impressions impressions generated. 2,253 Distributors should work with clients to determine the goals of their campaigns and the connection they want to establish with the intended recipient before selecting the right vehicle to deliver their message. Taking into account the number and quality of ber the impressions generated, in addition to some of the ssions Impressions demographic considerations shown earlier in the report, gives the distributor the opportunity to serve as a consultant rather than an e the most impressions. order taker. 323 1,700 Impressions 1,852 The Most Impressions in Berlin 5,615 Impressions 2,380 Impressions 2,774 Impressions 1,843 Impressions 1,763 Impressions In Berlin, writing instruments generate the most impressions by far.

The Cost-Effectiveness of
Ad Specialties Advertising specialties are less expensive per impression than most other forms of media. The investment in ad specialties is modest, more targeted and more achievable for smaller businesses than other forms of advertising. As the chart on this page illustrates, promotional products have a lower cost-per-impression in the United States than prime-time television advertising, national magazine advertising and newspaper ads, and a similar CPI to spot radio and Internet advertising. However, a report published in October, 2012 by Forrester Research, “U.S. Online Ad specialties are highly cost-effective Display Ad Spend $12.7B in 2012,” sheds some light on Internet advertising. It points out that CPMs are actually on the rise. The average CPM — cost per thousand impressions — for 2012 was $3.17, but by 2017 that will rise to $6.64, largely because of the shift to real-time bidding and away Prime-Time TV from portal buys where placement is not guaranteed. The rise, the analysts note, is also a supply and demand issue: marketers are competing for similar audience segments and bid density is continuing to increase. National Magazines The cost of advertising specialties are NEWS not expected to increase markedly in the next four years, making them an even better comparison to other forms of media advertising such as the Internet. 1.8¢ 1.8¢ 0.7¢ Newspapers Key Takeaway Promotional products deliver the same or better ROI than most other forms of media, without the interruption inherent with other forms of advertising. And when one considers the prohibitive cost of producing radio or television commercials or the cash outlay to buy sufficient Internet advertising, promotional products offer the best value. Promotional products can also be used to more closely target the intended message recipient than mass media. Further, even smaller companies can achieve as high an ROI as major corporations by using advertising specialties because even a modest investment delivers superior results.
