Conducted yearly by the Advertising Specialty Institute, findings in this study are based on thousands of in-person and online surveys taken by consumers in the US, Canada, Mexico and parts of Europe. This survey answers questions about promotional products’ reach, consumers’ perceptions of them and how branded products influence buying decisions and products’ impact on consumer opinions of the advertiser.
