Thinking about promotional products?

What are promotional products? 

A promotional product is any item that you give away to promote your business. These products are typically low cost items (or not… depending on your brand) such as pens, plastic cups, totes, T-Shirts, stress balls, or branded face masks. Companies or organizations would use them at trade shows or conferences, as client appreciation gifts, or part of a marketing campaign.
