Why Is Branded Merch Important?

Gifting custom branded merchandise is an important part of any real estate marketing plan. While it may seem more expensive at first glance, it is actually less expensive than other forms of both traditional and digital advertising.

Based off the increased number of impressions promotional products receive as well as the recipients’ behavioral responses, agents experience a much lower CPM and higher ROI when incorporating branded products into their advertising strategy. This in turn generates quality leads and increased referrals.

Real Estate Marketing with Promotional Drinkware

Promotional products, such as our personalized drinkware, are effective because they work! However, the more useful a product is, the more likely customers are to hang onto it. People keep and use promo products when it’s something they already incorporate into their daily lives.

Branded tumblers and even promotional pizza cutters are a great examples of personalized kitchen gifts that get used frequently. With regular use, the real estate brand who supplied the product gets repeat exposure.

On the off chance a client decides not to keep the branded merchandise they receive, it’s often given to someone else rather than being tossed out. This furthers the marketing lifespan of your promotional products. It also allows you as a real agent professional, along with other service and sales related businesses, to reach people you may not normally engage with or who aren’t already aware of your services.

Why Do Promo Products Work?

In short, branded promotional products work because they do the following:
​
  • Build enthusiasm
  • Drive sales
  • Get referrals
  • Promote services
  • Are useful

Industry Statistics on Marketing with Branded Merchandise

In order to illustrate the benefits of marketing with promotional products, or more specifically custom drinkware and other kitchen tools, we’ve compiled statistical research to show you their value. This information exhibits how you can make a solid return on your investment as a REALTOR® when marketing your services.

Custom Tumbler Marketing Benefits

Following are the benefits of using custom drinkware tumblers to market your brand:
​
  • Drinkware averages 1400 impressions throughout its lifetime. This equates to pennies (or less!) per impression.
  • 78% of USA consumers own personalized drinkware. On average, they keep these products for an average of 12 months. For those who dispose of promotional drinkware after this timeframe, 54% of people give the product to someone else, thus lengthening its exposure.
  • Drinkware is not generation specific. Every generation has and uses these promo products. According to ASI 78-88% of people own promotional drinkware.
  • Research from ASI also indicates that 42% of consumers have a higher opinion of companies and businesses that offer eco-friendly products. To that end, a single-use cup used daily for work or travel saves 24 trees per year per person over a 40-year period. Even more notable is that this in turn significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions as well as the use of wood, petroleum and other chemicals that have negative consequences on the environment.
  • There is a very low CPM for custom tumblers. The cost per impression of a $14 tumbler is just under a penny.
  • Insulated travel mugs increase both visibility and brand likeability.
