Following on from this, during the early 1800s, there were various forms of advertising in use such as calendars, wooden gifts and rulers, but there wasn't an industry built around promotional products such as the one we know today. As I write the current promotional products industry is growing at a rate faster than that of television or radio advertising and is already greater than the majority of other marketing avenues (Internet, Cable TV, Yellow Pages, outdoor advertising), something which is in stark contrast to the way in which gifts were previously given away by companies hoping to advertise their brand.

People like to talk, so you will always have your business talked about by somebody to somebody else. The important thing is to make sure that what's talked about is good and not bad stuff!
