What are promotional products?<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Promotional products, also known as swag, are small items that are branded with an organization\u2019s logo or artwork and given away to a designated audience with the intention of increasing brand awareness and eventually increasing business. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promotional products take many forms. Most people associate the term with items found at a tradeshow\u2014 things like pens, notebooks, lanyards and water bottles. However, promotional products are really more about the intention behind them than the items themselves. For example, fancy headphones, branded with a logo, can function as promotional products just as well as any sticker or button.
