The $17 billion ad specialty industry is fueled by branded freebies (how many do you have?) and hundreds of thousands of American-made promotional T-shirts – there are enough produced annually to clothe everyone in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Now, businesses are going way beyond the best-selling logoed pen, with unique products like scented T-shirts that help launch catchy ad campaigns that capture consumers and deliver a positive return on investment.
According to a landmark study from ASI, ad specialties beat out prime-time TV, radio and print advertising as the most cost-effective advertising medium available.
