This year\u2019s data updates prior years\u2019 reports by expanding interviews into two cities in Mexico (Monterrey and Mexico City) and several additional mid-major markets: Tampa, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Denver and San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe conduct business in an increasingly global economy, which is why ASI committed time and resources to a study with strong international reach and results,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cWhether we polled consumers in Canada, Mexico or Australia, we found end-buyers who consistently remember the advertisers on logoed items and who feel good about the brands on promo products they use day in and day out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ASI released the Global Advertising Specialties Impressions Study at the 2014 ASI Power Summit (#asipowersummit), held this year in Scottsdale, AZ and attended by entrepreneurs, multi-national CEOs and small-business owners throughout the $20.5 billion promotional products industry.<\/p>\n<p>The comprehensive cost analysis provides buyers and sellers of logoed pens, caps, T-shirts and other branded items with powerful data to convince clients world-wide that ad specialties can increase sales and brand exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Results found that at about half a penny, promo products have a lower cost-per-impression (CPI) in the U.S. than prime-time TV, national magazine and newspaper ads, and a similar CPI to spot radio and Internet advertising, according to the study.<\/p>\n<p>Study results also show promo products are consistently popular and persistent, with most people owning about 10 items they generally keep for seven months.<\/p>\n<p>2014 study highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Popular Pens<\/strong>. Writing instruments were the most commonly cited item, with over half (56%) of recipients in the U.S. reporting getting at least one in the prior year, followed by shirts (48%) and bags (34%).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Big Impressions.<\/strong> Bags, which are generally mobile and therefore seen by more people, generated the most impressions in Sydney, with more than 5,800 a month.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lookin\u2019 Good<\/strong>. In the U.S., 42% of polled consumers who keep promotional hats do so because they are attractive, second only to outerwear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salud!<\/strong> Half of Mexican consumers own promo drinkware, the highest percentage in North America.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tech is Universal<\/strong>. In Madrid, 34% of surveyed residents own a promo USB drive, the highest of any area measured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ever-Lasting.<\/strong> Products in Europe have long life: Calendars, USB drives and outerwear are kept by European consumers for an average of eight months or longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More Business.<\/strong> In Charlotte, 66% of consumers who own promo calendar are more likely to do business with that advertiser.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Happy in the Heartland<\/strong>. Midwesterners own the most products of any region surveyed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ASI\u2019s research studies are the most influential in the industry\u2019s history, continuously cited throughout the B-to-B industry and across the advertising and marketing spectrum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polled consumers in 27 cities across North America, Europe and Australia;
