2009 was definitely an interesting year for promotional products. The industry responded to some very interesting changes. Some of the changes were caused by economic conditions and some were cause by political or climatic changes and some were even a result of a looming pandemic.
No one would've predicted the explosion of hand sanitizers as a promotional item but that is exactly what happened when late in 2009 the world was facing a global flu pandemic. Everyone was quick to jump on the hand sanitizer bandwagon and sales of promotional hand sanitizing products skyrocketed. Another example was the rapid growth of all "green" or environmentally friendly promotional products. That particular market saw great gains in 2009 and again corporations continued to pump large sums of money into green products. However one has to wonder if that trend will continue into the next year or will it burn out???
Another interesting trend was the economic downturn. It forced some people completely out of the promotional product game and forced others to make cutbacks and still other business pumped more money into promotional products looking for some sort of edge over their competition. Regardless of how the economic downturn affected the promotional product budget all corporations demanded a better ROI on their promotional investment.
