Being the general manager of a very busy hotel, I am often approached by companies and non-profit organizations for prizes for various functions and tournaments.  Originally, we were giving out gift certificates for hotel stays, but found that it was getting very costly.  I decided to look into purchasing advertising promotional products to give out as sponsored prizes instead.

I found that by using advertising promotional items, we were able to donate more prizes to a larger number of functions.  Cost wise, our donations were more economical, as the items we did give were very inexpensive for the hotel to purchase.

I have ordered another box of cheap promotional T-shirts as we are almost out.  We try to give at least a few of them each time we make a donation.  Our thoughts are this: every time a winner walks around with our shirt on, it is free advertising for the hotel.  Does this increase our bottom line?  You bet.
