You can’t go wrong with travel mugs as promotional items. People use cups everyday. If you’re on the go, you can really benefit from a travel mug. They can be used with hot cocoa or soup on the go. Good idea.

Great article! Mugs are a great investment. Especially if you can get some local coffee shops to use them or sell them. The more people you can get to use or even buy your mugs the more you should buy. People always like free mugs, especially mugs that have some fancy designs or look very nice.

pretty interesting article i really enjoyed reading.Mugs,something we use daily and is loved by most of the people and if someone gets a really stylish travel mug just as a free gift then he would be happier buying more products to get more free mugs in the future.
Travel mugs in my opinion are best promotional technique and after reading your article it seems more popular and successful marketing stunt.thanks

i’d love to have a travel mug, as if your travelling all around the world with your mug, the promotional ability is huge, such a vast audience.
I myself love a hot chocolate in a mug :). But many people collect mugs from different companies. They are the most used freebie.

guy like me wants to have a big mug for coffee itself, I am a great coffee freak, well according to me what you say does not match for all. I think people will also like to go for a big mug for coffee too.

Nestle, the maker of MILO, is always running some promotional items from time to time. And there are time that they are giving away travel mugs. Well, I always appreciate companies giving away products for their loyal customers. It creates brand loyalty and a big amount of goodwill. Plus, there could be some word-of-mouth effect out of the promotion.

As we are experiencing global recession, most companies will cut back advertising budget and promotional items will be severely affected. But I tend to disagree with this notion. The best time to advertise is when your competitors are cutting back and withdrawing. Of course, the biggest limiting factor will always be the budget.

I have to disagree with one of your statement Atniz.
About size of mug, I think it’s depend on what product it is.
If it’s a coffee, then we should just use small mug or called coffee mug. But for milk like MILO, it’s best to give big mug as their promotional gift.
It’s to keep their product image I think.

All my mugs collection in kitchen has some sort of company name. Yeah, I got it free all of it from my purchase of their brands. Some of it, I have used it for years already. My favorite mug is the green color from MILO brand which is big and solid. Selecting big mugs instead of small ones can be a good choice because most of us will keep the water near computer table and hate to run to kitchen always.
