98 percent of all Germans own at least one promotional gift - such as a printed ballpoint pen, a branded umbrella or a printed USB stick. That's according to a study by the Gesamtverband der Werbeartikel-Wirtschaft e. V. (GWW). Distributing give-aways with logos to a specific target group is thus still a very effective advertising method even in the digital age. And rightly so: unlike e-mails, newsletters and other digital advertising media, printed promotional items are usually present with potential customers for a very long time. Most people even keep promotional gifts for years. |

In addition, there are other weighty arguments for the use of promotional gifts with branding:
Mail Boxes Etc. prints promotional items of all kinds for you - from office utensils to peaked caps and textiles to balloons and gummy bear bags. Print ballpoint pens, print lighters, print folding rulers, cotton bags or umbrellas: With Mail Boxes Etc. everything is possible.
How many lanyards have you bought for yourself in your life? Very likely not a single one. Yet you probably own (and use) one, or at least have owned one at some point - and most likely it had an advertising imprint on it. This shows: Promotional items can work great as a marketing tool. But you have to choose and use them wisely. |

Target group
Some promotional products only work with a certain target audience, while they don't have much impact with another group. Printed mousepads, for example, are interesting for office workers; for young people, on the other hand, they have little use. On the other hand, printed baseball caps score much better with teenagers than with office workers. Since Mail Boxes Etc. can print on virtually anything, you are guaranteed to find the right items for your customers.
Thematic Reference
Ballpoint pens always work as promotional items - but a car dealership that wants to promote a particularly eco-friendly new model might want to hand out printed wooden pencils rather than printed plastic pens. Look for thematic relevance in your promotional product selection! Mail Boxes Etc. offers you enough possibilities.
Bundles
Even more effective than a single printed promotional gift is a promotional gift bundle - such as a printed cotton bag containing a printed T-shirt and a printed lanyard. Bundles like this are ideal if you're sponsoring sporting events, for example! With Mail Boxes Etc. you can create small and large bundles; we will ensure that all components are delivered on time.
