And it also comes with a lot of wastage as a good number of people will either not look at the ad or they might have nothing to do with your product.  

Whereas with the availability of multiple ranges of low-cost items, promotional products can reach to their target audience and further at a controlled cost. Every time the recipient uses the bag, he helps in generating brand awareness of your company and does indirect marketing for you.
