ODM tracks Promotional products trends on an on-going basis. We’ve extrapolated data from over 180,000 tweets in 2016 to see who was tweeting and what about. As a promotional products focused company, we really need to stay on top of most popular items to see what works and how best to direct our customers.
Lets start with the top 25 movers and shakers on Twitter. ODM don’t qualify for a mention and for this reason we apologize. We’ll do better next year.

Tracking Giveaway trends
So now we know who was tweeting Giveaways, now it’s time to find out what was said. To do this we had extrapolated the data from the 180,000 tweets to see which words came up most, the larger a word is the more it was used.

As can be seen, #giveaway was the largest and of course RT. What was interesting though was the mentions of promotions, prize drinks and freegift. With Twitter a lot of these giveaways can be virtual but with a few of these mentions it shows that there is a market for a physical giveaway!
The #giveaway wasn’t the only trend we’ve been following, we’ve been keeping our eye on all the key SEO’s for the Promotional Product Industry:
Promotional Products companies should give away innovative and fun products with great packaging to their customers. We have tracked on Twitter to make sure we keep clients and potential clients updated and aware of the benefits of offering Giveaways!
We are also taking part in our own Giveaway trend for Chinese New Year 2017, as this year is the Year of the Rooster, we’ve made some Chinese New Year Rooster Socks!

Order as few as 200 pcs of these Rooster Socks and Wow your customers. Order window closes on 7th December and we are trying to limit this to 1 promotional agency per country so we are urging people to act fast.
Last year, we gave our Monkey Socks away these to clients at meetings & trade shows and we plan to do the same this year. We are also happy to send you a free pair of Rooster Socks with every sample we send out.
Why should you take part in Giveaway trends?
Firstly, giveaway trends are a great way to spread your message far and wide. This was definitely the case for a big event such as the Rio 2016 Olympics. This event was the center of attention this summer. The Olympic Athlete’s Hub held a Promotional Giveaway for their Athlete Learning Gateway. This is a platform that athletes can use to gain and spread information about a professional sports career, nutrition and lifestyle.

There were three Rio goodie bags available for the giveaway. These contained a Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet, Rio Swatch watch and more Branded Promotional Products, all packed into a Muhammad Ali Rome 1960 Holdall. A perfect set for any athlete to-be. The items are branded, and very relevant for anyone in the Sports industry.
In order to win, participants had to leave a comment on a page of the “Top Tips and Insights” section of the forum. Using a Giveaway like this is a great way to activate dialogues on your forum, as people will be eager to try and win one of the three goodiebags. Using such a limited available quantity also makes the items look more desirable and rare, potentially making these items sought after collector’s items. This might spark even more interest to enter the Giveaway.
