$ 18 Billion of Logo Trinkets
Marketing Blurb is a sucker for logo coffee mugs. We have an impressive collection of coffee_mug.jpgconsumer, b2b, and academic models to choose from, and we delight in rotating through the collection. We’re partial to Denison University this week, but hey, our Darby Creek Dog Bakery mug is waiting in the cabinet. But as it turns out, logo merchandising is big business—to the tune of $ 18 billion dollars in 2005. According to the Promotional Products Association International, companies increased their spending for promotional items 4% over last year, while other forms of advertising only increased by an average of 3%. Recipients of promotion items generally keep them around--achieving the marketers desired goal of brand exposure. iPod covers are the new hot promotional item, like mugs and Post-it-Note pads, tattoos, umbrellas and jar openers are popular as well. Now if you will excuse us, we need another refill of coffee in our branded mug. The Akron Beacon Journal can provide more details.
