They were also looking for an ecofriendly promo product that was both recyclable and made from recycled materials. Finally, because the customized specialty items were going to be handed out in such high volumes, the company wanted each product to cost less than one dollar each.

Implementation:

The automotive company and IASpromotes.com wanted to create a customized product that would not only serve as a promotional marketing tool but would also but useful to attendants as they perused the booths.
