The following information is designed to help you think about how specialty advertising can help you work smarter. Specialty advertising is not about products to give away, it's about target specific marketing.
Every item is an advertisement. Such advertising requires five critical elements: 1) an objective, 2) a market, 3) a message, 4) an item, and 5) a distribution plan. Your promotional product advertisement will remain with your customer or potential customer for months, and sometimes for years.

Impact Objective—What do you want to accomplish? Why?

Choose an Item—Is it useful, long-lasting, and appropriate?
Distribution Plan—How will you get them into people's hands?
