28 of the Best Promotional Products for 2024

Promotional products are a fantastic way of boosting brand identity while also facilitating customer loyalty and goodwill. Partnering with a respected promotional products company can bring visibility and recognition to your brand.

Who doesn’t love some free swag? A recent US promotional products study tells the story: all ages (18-65+) vote promotional products as their favorite form of advertising. Most consumers appreciate a company that hands out freebies, and they’ll also be able to show off your company logo to all sorts of new potential customers. It’s truly a win-win for everyone.

But there are so many options in the realm of promotional products these days that it can be hard to pick just one (but who says you need to choose only one?). Whether you’re looking to give away promotional items locally in Toronto or distribute them at trade shows around the world, Brymark is here to help.

Let’s narrow down some of the best types of promo products available this year, so you can deliver your brand’s message, build brand recognition, and deliver some of the best-selling promotional products to your loyal fans.
