SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand.

PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do promotional marketing companies do?

Promotional marketing companies create campaigns that boost brand awareness, engagement, and customer action, using digital marketing, direct marketing, and experiential marketing.

They create giveaways, branded merchandise, contests, events, and digital promotions to attract attention and motivate purchases.

What factors affect promotional marketing agency pricing?

The type of promotion, the number of channels involved, and the level of creative work required influence the cost of promotional marketing pricing. Nationwide events, branded merchandise programs, or multi-channel digital promotions cost more due to higher production and logistics needs.

Materials, volume of promotional items, influencer or talent fees, distribution costs, and campaign duration also affect the price. Promotional marketing agencies with more experience or specialized capabilities may charge higher rates, especially if a project requires custom design, strategy, or advanced tracking.

Can I get a free consultation from a promotional marketing company?

Yes, many promotional marketing companies offer a free consultation to assess your goals and discuss possible strategies. It’s a good way to explore their approach and see whether they’re a good fit.

Before booking a consultation, make sure you clarify:

What’s included in the free consultation
If the consultation comes with any obligations
What information you should provide to make the session productive

What's included in a typical promotional marketing service package?

A typical promotional marketing service package includes the following services:

Campaign strategy
Creative development
Campaign execution

Core elements often cover:

Branded merchandise
Giveaways
Contests
Event activations
Digital promotions
Social media support
Product sourcing, printing, and fulfillment
Logistics and performance tracking

What questions should I ask a promotional marketing firm before hiring it?

Before hiring a promotional marketing firm, ask questions that clarify their experience, process, and expected outcomes, such as:

What similar campaigns have you executed, and what were the results?
How do you measure campaign success, and what KPIs will you track?
What’s included in your service package, and are there additional costs?
How do you handle product sourcing, logistics, and fulfillment?
What is the expected timeline for planning, production, and launch?
Will I receive regular updates or performance reports?

What kind of portfolio should a promotional marketing agency have?

A promotional marketing agency should have a portfolio that showcases examples of promotional marketing campaigns across different industries and promotional formats. Look for examples of branded merchandise, contests, experiential events, digital promotions, and integrated campaigns that demonstrate creativity and strategic execution.

The portfolio should highlight measurable outcomes, such as increases in engagement, lead generation, sales lift, or event participation. Strong case studies, high-quality visuals, and clear storytelling indicate that the agency can deliver effective, scalable promotions tailored to your brand’s goals.
