Stran Delivers Rewards To Consumers And Shareholders

U.S. promotional products market is valued at $18 billion in annual revenue as brand owners find incentives effective building customer loyalty. Consumers remember brands from 90% of promotional gifts. Stran & Company stands out among numerous competitors in the promotional products arena with a technology-backed portfolio of services. Company leadership sees a unique opportunity to grab market share through acquisitions as many players in the highly fragmented promotional products and incentives arena are struggling in the post-pandemic economy. Two recent deals adding as much as $15 million to Stran’s top line, boosting market footprint through new client relationships, and adding fresh talent to the sales and creative teams.
