When planning any advertising initiative, we first ask ourselves who our target market is. We divide the population into groups and decide which group or group we are hoping to target. Once we know our target demographics, every other decision about our advertising campaign becomes easier, as every choice must appeal to the correct group of consumers. As with any other advertising medium, promotional products rely on a keen understanding of one's audience. Different imprinted items will appeal more to different demographics.
The largest and most common delineation to make when splitting up the population is by gender. Making a male/female distinction creates two very large, broad populaces that serve well as jumping off points when beginning to narrow down advertising strategies. Of course, within these broad gender demographics there are infinite other, smaller demographics that can be further divided. If, with one preliminary advertising decision, you can save yourself from having to consider half the population, then that takes a load of stress off your mind.
Although within those large gender demographics there are infinite nuances and further micro-demographics, it is true that there are certain promotional products that are designed or tend to appeal to one gender over another. Certain logoed products are simply constructed to fit the body types of one gender. Sometimes, one gender is more likely to participate in certain activities or habits. And often, a certain style or function of an ad specialty item will appeal more to one gender. So no matter whom your target demographic is comprised of, you're sure to find promotional items that are designed to appeal specifically to that group.
Below, we've highlighted some of our favorite examples of promotional products for men and women. These customized items are a starting point for you to consider what route you may want to take with your advertising campaign if you are planning to target one gender over the other. Based on a variety of factors, these custom-imprinted products are sure to attract the notice of the gender to which you are looking to appeal.

As with all promotional decisions and advertising campaigns, the best policy is to be sure that your customized giveaways fit the theme of your company, product, and overall marketing initiatives. If your company makes products or provides services aimed primarily toward one demographic, then utilizing promotional merchandise that targets the same demographic is sure to have positive effects for your business marketing.
