Why Choose American-Made Promotional Products?
Although they can come with a slightly higher price tag, promo items that are made in the USA offer the following benefits.
- Good for the Economy: Choosing American-made products boosts the economy and provides local jobs.
- Faster Turnaround Times: Buying domestically can cut down on international shipping delays, also providing for more convenient returns and exchanges.
- More Eco-Friendly: Shopping for US products can cut back on the carbon footprint from shipping your items across a longer distance.
- Branding and Trust: Offering products that are made in the USA can demonstrate your commitment to supporting and giving back to the local community, bolstering your reputation as a brand or organization.
While it might seem like a small switch, choosing American-made promotional products can make a big impact where it matters most.

How Promotional Products Can Boost Your Business
Why order promotional products for your business or organization? Studies show that most consumers keep a promotional item for at least one year. That’s an entire year of having your brand name in someone’s home, car or office. Think of that compared to how long the average consumer keeps a newspaper or magazine containing your print ad before throwing it out.
And it’s not just the promotional items that stick around – your brand name does, too. 89 percent of people who have received a promotional item in the past two years can recall the name of the company associated with it, according to HuffPost.
