Each year PPAI compiles the industry's official distributor sales volume estimate to measure industry growth, identify financial trends and pinpoint top-selling product categories and types of promotional programs. This year PPAI has again engaged an independent market research agency, Relevant Insights, to conduct this vital research.

All PPAI distributor member companies have been sent a print or digital version of the survey. Distributors who received a paper survey can click here to fill it out online, using their ID as a password. The deadline to respond is February 28. Distributors who did not receive a survey, or who have questions on responding to the survey, can email Mo Das, PPAI research manager, at MoD@ppai.org.

All completed surveys returned by the deadline will be eligible to enter a drawing for a chance to win a choice of an Amazon Echo Show, Bose Soundlink Wireless Headphones II or a voucher valued at $350 toward a future purchase of promotional products from an industry supplier. Ten winners will be selected.

The full results of the study will be reported in PPB's May issue.
