The document summarizes the findings of a study on the effectiveness of promotional products as advertising. The study surveyed over 600 businesspeople about their experiences receiving and using promotional items. It found that promotional products have a significant impact on brand awareness and purchasing decisions. Products are kept and used for an average of 7 months, and their cost per impression is a fraction of a cent, making them more cost effective than most other forms of traditional advertising media. The document then addresses 12 common objections to using promotional products and provides data-backed solutions from the study to overcome each objection.
