1. Top 10 Reasons To Consider
Promotional Marketing As A Career
Written By: Edwin J. Goitia
A Promo Rockstars Publication

2. Reason #1: Represent Your Favorite
Brands
• Have a favorite brand of shoes?
• Jeans?
Maybe you really love using your cell phone and
all those apps that are on it?
• Why not LIVE the brands
that you truly love?
• It makes your life much more fun and
easy to be passionate about representing brands
you love.

3. • So imagine waking up every day
(or even just a couple days a week),
and knowing that you will be rocking it out for
an awesome brand and sharing their brand
messaging with the public?

4. • People will love the brand, they will love what
you have to share with them. Even more, they
will love you for sharing the experience with
them.
• Talk about being able to go home with a smile
on your face.

5. Reason #2: Be Ahead of the Latest
Trends
• What’s better than keeping up with the latest
fashion, technology, telecommunications, and
music trends?
• Being way ahead of them.

6. • That’s right, when you really get involved
with your favorite brands in the field of
promotional marketing, you will learn things
that the public does not know, and, heck, even
find out things months or even years
ahead of the public.
• Now, doesn’t that sound exciting?!

7. Reason #3: Make 2-3x Min Wage
• So, what’s better than getting by and paying
your bills?
It’s a sad fact that most college students who
graduate nowadays have no clue what they
are going to do for a career after leaving
college, let alone how to make money.
• So what can they do about it?

8. • Join the wonderful world of promotional
marketing of course!
• It’s a great industry, invites people who love to
be challenged and still have a great time, and
pays very well.
• Don’t be that college student that gets a
minimum wage job.

9. • You’re better than that.
• Get into the promotional industry today and
join our community of 8,000+ event marketers
and get busy!

10. Reason #4: Network While You Work
• When you sit in a cubicle, the most you see
daily is your computer screen and your cubicle
wall. Yipee!
• Well, what if I told you every single day, you
could be meeting brand new people, being
around crowds, and eventually become a
networking powerhouse?

11. • Have you ever wanted to meet celebrities?
Wealthy individuals?
Business owners?
Movers and shakers?
• Or just plain awesome people who are out
there living life?

12. • Welcome to the wonderful world of
promotional marketing.
• A lifetime of free (or close to free) leads,
opportunities, and doors opening to you.
• Yet another reason to stay in the field for the
long-term rather than the short-term.

13. Reason #5: Free Swag
• Who likes free stuff?
I don’t care who the person is,
EVERYONE loves free stuff.
• I mean, EVERYONE.

14. • So, that includes you, right?

15. • What if I told you you could
get free swag for life from amazing brands
around the world?
• You show up to an activation,
you do the gig, have fun,
talk to an influx of people,
and sometimes (ok, many of times),
at the end of the activation,
you will get lucky enough to take free
stuff home.

16. • You help the event manager or client get rid of
some unneeded or surplus product.
• You save money on things you could
potentially spend money on.
• You can gift and re-gift the items to friends
and family.
• And you take care of some of those things that
you thought you had to buy.
• It’s a win-win-win for everyone involved.

17. Reason #6: Reduce Expenses
• Imagine a world where the deeper into the
game
you get, the more expenses that are covered
for you?
• Let me clarify first and foremost, this is a
case-by-case basis.

18. • However, especially for those who work
themselves into management, get serious about
the promotional marketing game, one will see
companies reimburse for mileages/gas use on
one’s personal vehicle, per diem for food
expenses, and in the best-case scenarios,
especially for those in positions known as tour
managers or traveling product specialists (more
on this in a future post), even hotel and lodging
can be covered.

19. • Now again, one must work their way up to this
point, and if you are career-minded about this
industry, it will be easy to get to this point
with hard work
and dedication.
• Just keep in mind that, yes, it is easy
to lessen personal expenses when traveling to
your events.

20. Reason #7: Live the
entrepreneurial lifestyle
• What is it like to live life like an entrepreneur?
Essentially, you make your own decisions, take
the time to decide if opportunity A is better
than opportunity B, or vice versa, and much
more.

21. • There is much more flexibility and freedom in
the world of promotional marketing.
• So imagine a lifetime of this type
of freedom, working with great people and
amazing brands aroundthe country, and even
the world.

22. • The sheer fact that you have the availability to
control more of your time, make decisions on
your own more often, and be accountable for
your own success is one of the best perks of
promotional marketing for years to come. -

23. Reason #8: Limitless Vacations
• Don’t like the 1 or 2 weeks of vacation that
salaried job
is offering you? Wish there was something you
could do about it?

24. • Well, there is! Stick with promotional
marketing and you will always be free to take
as many vacations as you want in a given year.
• I don’t know about you, but I hate having a
company dictate how much free time and
travel time I have every single year.

25. • I mean, working 40 hours a week, 50-to-51
weeks a year,
doesn’t sound that fun to me, if you ask me. -

26. • A great friend of mine is known to take 2-to-3
month-long
vacations each year and still clear six-figures
with promotional marketing.
• Is that scenario typical for everyone? No.
But it sure as heck is possible.

27. Reason #9: Tax Write-Offs
• One of the biggest advantages that is touted
by promotional marketers everywhere are the
tax advantages.
• I mean, who doesn’t want to have the
freedom of writing off business expenses as a
1099 independent contractor, versus the
limitations of not really being able to write-off
anything at all as a W-2 employee?

28. • Bought a new car and using it mostly for
work? Write-off.
Had to purchase a new laptop so you can
continue to book gigs? Another write off.
I can go on and on.
Please note, I am not a tax advisor or lawyer,
so these are just personal examples. Please consult with a tax
professional for advice.

29. Reason #10: No boss
• And the best reason to consider promotional
marketing as your career? You never really
have a true boss (at least, not in the
traditional sense)

30. • We have what are called account managers,
recruiting managers,
account executives, booking manager, talent
agents, and the list goes on and on. However,
these are merely middle-men and ensure we
have the tools and resources to succeed in our
events and gigs that you as a promotional
marketer works.

31. • Other than that, you decide how much you
want to work (in most cases),
if you would rather turn down work and take
time off, or take on a lot of work in a short
period of time and take a nice long vacation
afterwards.
• All in all, it’s the most flexible industry I have
ever had the blessing to work in.

32. • I hope that these 10 reasons encourage you to
look into promotional marketing as a career
choice for the long-term more seriously.
