advantage of these different products according to their marketing objective and in this article we
will to gauge each of these.
To start with we first take the case of promotional items that are in the fad and companies prefer
to promote their brand for a viral urgency of their marketing through these promo items in fad. Silly
Bandz was such an item that companies started promoting their name through it. Silly Bandz are
some bracelets produced in many shapes such as crabs and princesses. Children love to wear them
and even exchange with their friends. Companies took this opportunity to market their brand just by
printing their name on it. This way they are not only promoting their brand but this way they will

trends and style.
If you are thinking to adopt retail trends in making your promotional campaign successful you need
to give it a well thought before executing the same. There are some fads that die before you can
actually reap the fruit. So you should be always selective in picking up retail items which will give
you ample time to see how market reacts to your selection of items that are in the fad. The
important thing here is that your selected item should not be ephemeral and can gain maximum
popularity. You want to make sure you get in at a time after the trend has already begun to pick up
steam, but before the market has become so saturated with the product that the trend begins its
decline.
Another important aspect of selecting your retail promo items is its usability. For example tote bags
can be a good option for promoting your brand. Tote bags can be used anywhere, anytime and also
gives you the advantage to be in the fad all the time. To make matters simple it is always advisable
to select retail promotional products which are fashionable and functional.
Finally, it is of utmost importance to keep a close watch on the current trend in the retail
promotional items that are climbing the curve with a huge response. Last but not the least, you
need to concentrate that whatever is useful and fashionable people will love them to receive. When
a new product makes the jump over to the promotional market, you want to be in a position where
you already have a decent idea about how the item is going to perform for your specific needs.
