Atlhough blogging and traditional advertising have been very efficient in reaching out to the market, these types of promotional items are much appreciated by the consumers because these are things that we can use and re-use.
At least, that saves me money instead of buying new supplies of pens and notepads - at the same time helping the sponsors promote their brands.
I always see businesses in the malls which offer this type of printing services, but the http://www.amsterdamprinting.com/ is one online source which offers good items and discounts too.
