The Advertising Specialty Institute announced that hand sanitizers now rival pens as one of the most popular logoed items that companies are giving away to clients and employees. Blame it on the flu! Searches on ASI’s product database jumped 439% for the last year – only pens which are the most popular promo product of all time were higher.
Sales of all logoed sanitizing products surged in early spring, and then again in September, at the start of flu season. Sales of flu-related items, like facial tissues, have also increased. H1N1 (swine flu) first was detected in the US in April 2009. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that when soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used to help prevent the spread of germs.
Sanitizing products aren’t just used as promotional giveaways. Increasingly, they are being used internally by HR departments to reduce absenteeism caused by illness. Bullpen has an extensive line of hand sanitizers. Contact us today to find the perfect one for your company!
