Cheap Giveaways Are a Turnoff, Except When Personalized

Cheap Giveaways Are a Turnoff, Except When Personalized

  • Samuel Stäbler, Tilburg University, Netherlands
  • JOURNAL OF ADVERTISING RESEARCH

Companies use promotional giveaways – branded pens, mugs, USB sticks and more — as a way to create awareness and strengthen their brands. Yet, there’s very little empirical research on their effectiveness. A new set of studies shows that consumers react negatively, depending on the quality of the giveaway, but that personalizing the item with the person’s name can help as a targeting strategy.

Shifting Promo Dollars to Media Produces Higher ROI via MediaPost

  • Posted: August 30, 2017

Media company Turner Broadcasting commissioned a study showing that shifting as little as 10% of promotional dollars to media advertising can result in big return on media investment results for marketers.

The study—conducted with IRI, the consumer products/healthcare marketing analytics company—noted that consumer product marketers can spend as much as 66% of marketing dollars on promotion. Shifting 10% of that money can return in return on investment (ROI) gains of 10% to 25%.

Turner/IRI research looked at three years of data, across 62 brands representing $20 billion in sales and $3 billion in marketing spend across food, beverage, health care, beauty and home-care marketers.

The research indicates that the results are more dramatic when separating short-term and long-term ROI versus overall promo spending.
