It’s tricky to find a “one stop shop” when looking for an expert who sells promotional products and has marketing insight. But what if you could get all of that expertise from one provider? That’s where Big Spirit Inc. stands apart from other promotional product businesses. As both a marketing service and a promotional products provider, Big Spirit delivers a higher level of insight and expertise while helping clients make the most of their swag.

Most promotional product companies simply sell swag—pens, t-shirts, tote bags, and other branded items—with no real strategy behind them. The result is that too many organizations waste money on swag that doesn’t align with their marketing goals. Big Spirit, however, takes a completely different approach. We pair strategic marketing and promotional products together. Every product recommendation is backed by solid marketing expertise, ensuring that your promotional items are not just giveaways, but strategic tools that help you achieve your business goals.

The Power of a Marketing-First Approach

Many companies that offer promotional products are doing so to increase brand awareness, attract new customers, or build loyalty among existing ones. But without a strong marketing strategy in place, these items can become nothing more than clutter, forgotten or discarded without making a lasting impact.

Big Spirit Inc. changes that by incorporating marketing strategy into the promotional product selection process—at no additional charge. This means that instead of just picking a random promotional item and putting a logo on it, we work with clients to understand their brand, audience, and goals.

What Sets Big Spirit Apart

1. Marketing Expertise Without Extra Costs

• When you buy promotional products from Big Spirit, you aren’t just buying branded merchandise. You’re getting expert marketing insight included in the process. Unlike traditional promotional product providers, Big Spirit offers guidance to ensure your swag serves a clear purpose and aligns with your larger marketing strategy.

1. Strategic Selection of Promotional Products

• Instead of choosing an item just because it’s trendy, Big Spirit helps clients determine the best promotional products based on:
  • Marketing Goals: Whether the objective is lead generation, customer retention, brand awareness, or employee engagement, the right promotional products can help achieve that goal.
  • Target Audience: Understanding who will receive the promotional item ensures the product resonates with them and is useful.
  • Brand Alignment: The chosen items should reflect the company’s brand values and identity, reinforcing the overall marketing message.
  • Budget Considerations: With expert guidance, clients can maximize their budget, ensuring they get the highest return on investment without unnecessary spending.

1. Promotional Products as a Marketing Tool

• A branded item in the hands of a consumer is a direct marketing touchpoint. Big Spirit ensures these items work harder by integrating them into a broader campaign. Instead of just handing out swag at trade shows, for example, Big Spirit can help businesses create engagement strategies that drive measurable results.

The Difference Between Big Spirit and Traditional Promo Product Companies

Traditional promotional product companies operate on a transactional basis. They take an order, ship the products, and move on. The problem with this approach is that it lacks any true marketing insight. Businesses may end up spending thousands on promotional products that have little impact or fail to support their brand strategy.

At Big Spirit, every promotional product campaign is treated like a mini marketing strategy. We work so that promotional items are not just giveaways but powerful tools for engagement. Big Spirit understands that a promotional item should:

• Have a clear purpose (e.g., drive traffic to a website, increase event attendance, build customer loyalty).
• Be relevant and valuable to the recipient.
• Reinforce the brand’s messaging and values.
• Fit within a comprehensive marketing strategy.

Because we are a marketing company in addition to a promotional products provider, we don’t just sell products. We help your organization implement smart, effective campaigns using those products. This is an advantage that most promotional product suppliers simply don’t offer.

Real-World Applications: How Big Spirit Helps Clients

To understand how Big Spirit’s unique approach benefits clients, consider the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: Trade Show Giveaways with Purpose

A company is attending an industry trade show and needs giveaways. Instead of simply ordering stress balls or keychains, Big Spirit works with the client to determine:

• What action they want trade show attendees to take.
• What type of item will make a lasting impression.
• How to integrate QR codes or call-to-action messaging into the design.

By taking this strategic approach, Big Spirit helps ensure that the promotional product doesn’t just end up forgotten in a bag—it becomes a catalyst for engagement.

Scenario 2: Employee Recognition with Branding

A business wants to boost employee morale and loyalty. Instead of randomly selecting branded apparel, Big Spirit helps the company design an employee appreciation campaign that includes high-quality, useful items that reflect the company culture. The end result is a program that employees value, increasing retention and engagement.

Scenario 3: New Product Launch Strategy

A startup is launching a new product and wants to use promotional products to generate buzz. Big Spirit doesn’t just provide swag; we can help design an integrated marketing campaign using:

• Targeted direct mailers (or any other printed materials) with promotional items.
• An eye-catching marketing campaign that is cohesively branded.

By thinking strategically, Big Spirit ensures that promotional products are part of a broader marketing effort that delivers measurable results.
