5 Benefits of using Custom Hats to promote your Business

Businesses use a variety of promotional products from custom shirts and hats to mugs and water bottles. However, custom hats remain one of the most popular items, with an ASI research estimating 69% of Americans owning at least one promotional hat.

This article will explore the benefits of using custom hats to promote your business.

1. Branding

Custom promotional hats are a great way to get your brand noticed. Every time your customers wear the cap, your brand will be showcased on a panoramic display leaving a subtle yet powerful impression of your brand in people's minds. When in need of your product or service, this familiarity will trigger people to choose your company instead of one they have never heard of. Research has also shown that 85% of people remember the business that gave them the promo item.

2. Functional & Stylish

Hats are more than just a fashion accessory that helps you stand out in a crowd. It gives your head ample protection and comfort all year round. This makes custom caps not only stylish but a functional promo item for businesses of any size and industry. All you need to do is choose a style and design that best fits your brand. For example, in the sports & fitness industry, standard baseball hats and performance polyester hats are both popular options.

3. Extended Brand Exposure

As per ASI research, customers use a promotional hat for at least 10 months. During this period, it generates an average of 3400 impressions. This is one of the longest lifespans of a promotional product, meaning your company will have optimal brand exposure.

4. Value for money

The recurring costs in traditional marketing can prove to be a huge investment that may or may not give a good return. For example, an ad in the local newspaper will only be effective if it is seen by your target audience on the day it gets published. Unlike ads, promotional hats are a cost-effective way to get your company name or brand out to people. Even though there are some cost variations depending on the hat brand or style, hats are still one of the lowest-priced items with a high perceived value among customers. As per ASI Impressions Study 2020, the cost per impression (CPI) of promotional hats is as low as 3/10 of one cent, which is lower than almost all of the advertising mediums.

And gifting caps are effective as they can create a personal attachment with your customers and become a part of their style and identity. This connection will enhance their loyalty to your brand and keep them coming back to you for business.
