Purchasing and distributing promotional articles among clients and prospects is a big effort, especially for small companies trying to capture a specific niche in the market.

Each sale will report a five figure earning, and each prospect or company interested in your services has a higher probability of becoming a customer than if you sold something more common or cheaper. So from every hundred of branded promotional items your people hand out, five of them will become customers and render a fifty thousand dollar profit -this is obviously a rough calculation, not taking into consideration the rest of innumerable expenses involved in the production and selling of an item.

In this case, it obviously makes sense investing in rather expensive cool promotional items. A little role-playing is never too shabby.
