Recognizable Retail Brands

Add an extra boost of recognition to your next promotional campaign with items from fan-favorite retail brands.

What’s hot in retail has always influenced what’s hot in promo. That goes for individual products and the current “it brands” in apparel, drinkware and beyond – and it’s not just about following the crowd that makes these brands special. In fact, three-quarters of end-buyers would have a more favorable view of an advertiser if they were given name-brand promotional apparel instead of a generic product, according to a recent study from ASI Research.
