Your Branded Merch Should Not Be an Afterthought
When most teams envision branded merchandise, they picture T-shirts launched into a crowd, drawstring bags gathering dust, or nondescript promotional giveaways that barely make it home. But here’s the truth: when executed thoughtfully, branded merch is one of the most potent marketing tools you have and it merits a permanent spot in your strategic playbook.
At LGP, we’ve watched firsthand how strategic merch transforms brands not only in perception, but also in connection, conversion, and loyalty.
🚀 Why Branded Merchandise Deserves a Strategic Role
✨ Tangible, memorable, and long-lived, merch transcends digital clutter. It doesn’t disappear with a swipe or expire in an email. Instead, it becomes woven into your audience’s everyday life turning moments into impressions and impressions into emotional connections.
📊 The numbers speak for themselves:
- 🧠 85% of people remember the brand on a promotional item they received.
 
- 📅 48% of swag sticks around for more than a year.
 
- 💸 Cost-per-impression can be as low as $0.005 far more cost-effective than most digital ads.
 
 ✅ Well-designed merch converts recipients into 
brand ambassadors, amplifying your reach organically.
