April 15, 2011 Royal Wedding Promotional Products PhotosFiled under: Fun The Royal Wedding of England’s Prince William and Kate Middleton is just two weeks away, and since this is the ad specialty industry, we wondered just how popular are promotional products for this event. Apparently, so popular that royal wedding merchandise could top £26 million [$42.5 million]. Even more interesting are the kinds of promotional products … from shot glasses and tea kettles to condoms and bells, check out the haul of promotional products we found on the streets of London.

Although interesting from a momento standpoint I can’t believe these are big promotional sellers in the USA. This is something you hand down to your children but your client?

If these items are for sale, who’s pocket does it go to?
[...] With the Royal Wedding of England’s Prince William and Kate Middleton just a couple of weeks away and getting a lot of media coverage, I came across an article that projects that sales of royal wedding merchandise could top £26 million [$42.5 million].

The selection is quite broad, pretty much everything, from shot glasses and tea kettles to condoms and bells, with messages just as varied, some quite irreverent, such as a commemorative plate reading “Thanks for the free day off,” a “Keep Calm and Marry On” poster, and “Kiss Me Kate” beer.

How can a distributor find out which of our suppliers are producing these item? I think this could generate some dollars in the U.S.A.
