Promotional Gifts versus Newspaper Advertising

< back to articles

As we all know, the newspaper advertising is one of the oldest forms of brand advertising. Thanks to the millions of readers worldwide who contribute to the success of the businesses that get publicity through the newspapers. But recently the success of promotional products on the advertisement scenario has posed a potent question for discussion. And the question is “Are promotional articles better than newspaper advertisements?”

The efficacy of promotional articles to promote the brand proves that promotional articles are better than newspaper advertisement. The reasons are as follows:

• Firstly, it is their cost-effective nature that prompts many companies to opt for the promotional gifts as their brand marketing tools. Log in to the online store of promotional products at www.ideasbynet.com, and you will see hundreds of gift items that cost less than one pound. All of them have proven their efficiency in promoting the brand names of many companies across the world. The amount that you spent on the smallest newspaper advertisement can be spent effectively on such promotional products that turn out to be great utility articles to the user.

• You may argue that the exposure that is gained by the thousands of copies of newspaper is much higher than the individual exposure gained by the limited number of promotional articles. However, when we look at this fact more closely, we can spot the difference. A newspaper ad that is carried for a single day displays the ad to a customer only for a few seconds or minutes. As soon as he folds the paper, the advertisement dies. On the other hand, a promotional article such as a pen or a mouse mat will give a better display of the brand as and when they are used.

• These articles last for a long period; therefore, they perform as daily advertisements to the company. When we compare the overall exposure that these articles bring to the brand name in the public, we can doubtlessly say that they surpass the subscription of the most popular newspaper in the UK.

• The most important aspect of promotional gifts, however, is that they bring goodwill to the company. They act as the messengers between the company and the customer. They convey the regards that the company has for their customers. Thus the promotional articles always stay in the minds of the customers, acting as the reminders of the brand.

• Unlike the advertisements that feature a pompous display of the brand and its service, the corporate gifts approach the customers in a modest way.
