Watching the news this morning and seeing the amount of people celebrating Barack Obamas inauguration suprised me, simply because of the amount of promotional items on view. Every channel was broadcasting pictures of people in Washington who in some cases had travelled 14 hours to see the new President get sworn in - and nearly every one of them was wearing a promotional item. Obama was praised highly for his clever campaign for President which utilised the internet strongly to promote himself to the American people, and he also cleverly used promotional items. His website contains his own webshop where people can sign up and purchase items that help them show their alligence to the candidate, be it tshirts, bumper stickers or badges. These promotional items have undoubtably helped to spread the word of Obama, ensuring that his campaign slogan "Change can happen" was pushed into the minds of every person who saw it. It just goes to show, promotional items can be a great tool in helping reinforce peoples belief in your product, your brand, or your presidential campaign.
