Getting your brand in front of your desired audience is one of life’s big marketing battles. Unfortunately, printed ads have no guarantee of reaching your target audience, and social media can be slow to drive results, time-consuming and potentially expensive.
In our modern world, there are pop-ups, ad bars and promotional posts on every app and website. It is estimated that 42.7% of internet users use ad blockers. This leads us back to the question. How can I reach my prospective audience effectively?
Our answer? Promotional merchandise.
