Global Reminder Items: Drivers and Constraints
Drivers
- One of the most important growth drivers is the increase in value-added services, like design inputs, relevant market inputs, and value engineering, and spend/cost structure visibility provided by suppliers, which enables buyers to gain assurance and try new initiatives with regard to promotional/reminder items
- Buyers are working toward reducing their environmental footprint; hence, the demand for green/eco-promotional products is also on the rise, as buyers attempt to attain a better brand value and image
- According to recent studies, electronic gadgets are gaining more prominence and have become one of the important drivers of the promotional items industry. Hence, buyers are procuring gadgets, like power banks, earphones, wearable technology, and most importantly, wireless accessories
- The Australian marketers spend $1.7–2.3 billion a year on promotional products. Studies indicate that 91 percent of people have at least one promotional product in their kitchen and 74 percent in their offices
- Rise in the demand for retail brand products being used as promotional merchandize, since it deeply resonates with the younger target audience
Constraints
- Experts suggest that there is a lack of innovation in the industry. For example, polypropylene tote bags became a sensation eight years ago, and there has nothing been noteworthy since.
- It is also believed that one of the critical reasons for sluggish innovation is pricing pressure among the suppliers and manufacturers
- Many countries are starting to ban plastics, which will become a major constraint, in terms of sustainable raw material substitutes, resulting in increased overall costs
- The pharmaceutical industry is strictly governed by codices and regulations, with respect to issuing promotional items to patients, healthcare professionals, etc. Therefore, the spend for the promotional items industry with regard to the pharmaceutical companies is slowly decreasing with just 2–3 percent of the total global spend
