His content draws on his marketing background and practical experience working with organisations that use promotional products as part of wider campaigns.
Swami's Recommendation on Merchandise Marketing
Swami recommends giving every merchandise campaign a clear follow-up path. If you are handing out products at an event, for example, link the item to a QR code, landing page or offer so you can see whether it actually drives enquiries, sign-ups or repeat visits.
His view is that merchandise works best when it supports a measurable marketing action, not when it ends at the giveaway.
