A Thriving Industry

Whether you call them swag or promo, products like logoed mugs, pens, bags, T-shirts and tech accessories are powerful advertising tools for all businesses. They build recognition and awareness without the hefty price tag of traditional advertising. Promo ranges from 1/10 of a cent to a few cents per impression. With everyone from the smallest businesses to the largest event organizers needing promo, read on to discover how you fit into this $23.2 billion industry.
71% of ASI supplier's revenue comes
​from selling promotional products

​Advertising Specialty Institute

Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI®) is the promotional products industry’slargest membership organization – our business is to help you do​business. We keep suppliers like you (and your distributor prospects) informed on trends and help to make smart business decisions through awarding-winning editorial content, detailed research and on-demand education. Our robust technology tools make it easier to conduct business and close deals, and our creative services and ad solutions allow you to market your products to the right prospects. Our powerful networking events give you the connections you need to keep your pipeline filled and revenue pouring in.
 

How It Works

Picture
Suppliers are businesses that make, manufacture or import any product that can be imprinted with a company logo. They accept orders from distributors and then ship products to end-buyers for immediate use. Many businesses have promotional products and don’t even realize it, leaving money on the table.
Picture
End-buyers are businesses, organizations and events that buy promo imprinted with their logo to use as advertising tools. 
Picture
 End-buyers purchase these items from distributors, who are always searching sourcing platforms like the ASI website ESP® and working closely with their supplier network to discover new and unique products to inspire end-buyers.
Picture
End-users are people who actually use the promo product (drink out of the mug, wear the tee, etc.) that they received from an end-buyer.
