What you need to know about selling promotional products

Starting a promotional products business means you’ll be in an industry that designs and distributes promotional products like key chains, pens, stress balls, and other products that you can put a company’s name on.

Selling promotional products, either part-time or full-time, allows you to save on overhead expenses, office rent, inventory expenses, and employment. You can build a successful promotional products business from the comfort of your own home. More importantly, you can make money selling promotional products from the very beginning, and without typical overhead expenses like most businesses, you are profitable from day one.

You’ll have the opportunity to connect with a whole business community and build rewarding lifetime relationships with customers, community organizations, charities, and other important people in your network.

As the boss of your own business, you control your income whether you choose part-time hours or put all your time into it. It’s your choice to call the shots, and you control how much your business grows. Even as a "2nd income" business, many promotional products distributors are able to secure their retirement or pay for the children’s higher education.

How to make money selling promotional products

Do people make money selling promotional products? Yes, and more than you might realize. For several decades the promotional products industry has been a multi-billion dollar industry. In 2019, in the U.S., the promotional products industry at large sold over $24 billion dollars. Through good times and bad times, this is one of the most powerful, profitable and resilient marketing industries in the country. Why? Because businesses and organizations need to promote themselves in all economic conditions. This is tangible advertising.

Promotional products work! People who receive free, "branded" products are inclined to recall the name of the company from which they received them, even months earlier. People like to receive free products, and more importantly, they are more inclined to do business with the promoting company. Businesses, organizations, non-profits all understand from practical experience that promotional products work better than most any other advertising medium. The proof is in their re-orders! Advertising that appeals to all five senses...how could it not work?
