Amid flu concerns, sales of logoed sanitizing products have surged. According to the Advertising Specialty Institute®, hand sanitizers now rival pens as one of the most popular logoed items given away.

With consumers taking extra steps to help prevent them from catching the flu, sales have skyrocketed. Hand sanitizer sales are up 81.9 percent and searches of the key words “hand sanitizers” by promotional products distributors via the Advertising Specialty Institute’s database jumped 439 percent in the last year.

Sanitizing products are not only being used as promotional giveaways, but also being given to employees by human resources departments to reduce absenteeism caused by illness. With public health messages telling us to wash our hands frequently to minimize the transmission of germs, hand sanitizers can be useful and highly visible promotional tools.
