XX supports Promotional Products Week 2017
<COMPANY>, based in <TOWN> is supporting Promotional Products Week (PPWeek), which is taking place from 2nd-6th October 2017
Promotional products are regularly used and include everything from branded pens, mugs, calendars, USBs and sticky notes to confectionery, clothing, keyrings, sports bottles, stress products and much, much more.
Such products are used at seminars and conferences, as exhibition stand giveaways, as Christmas gifts, rewards and to support charity fundraising, giving constant brand exposure on a modest marketing budget.
This national campaign, created by the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA), is designed to raise the profile of the promotional merchandise market among end-users and show its power and effectiveness, demonstrating why it should be used as part of an integral marketing campaign.
In addition PPWeek is also running the THANK YOU challenge that everyone can get involved in. Promotional gits are the only advertising medium that allow you to say thank you to a friend, prospective customer, a supplier, a colleague and so much more.
Simply take a picture or make a short 1 minute video of your organisation with a promotional item being given as a gift andmail it to or post it on Twitter at#ThankYouPPW and you could become the enviable winner of the Promotional Product in Use of the Year.
The Thankyou campaign will be supportingthe Alzheimer’s Society and asking entrants to the competition to donate £3 or more to help fund vital research and care for the 9,000 people diagnosed with this horrible disease every year.
The UK promotional products market is worth almost £1bn per annum, which is more than the UK champagne industry (£599 million), the UK cooking sauces and seasoning industry (£700 million) and the UK designer clothing industry worth (£750 million).
<COMPANY> is one of upto 500 BPMA members who are taking part in the Week, which is supported by a high profile marketing, social media and PR campaign and also features the BPMA Design Awards Competition.
