What comes to mind when you hear "Tangible Advertising?"

In marketing, the word "tangible" refers to things that are physical, that is, items that can be touched, seen, heard or smelled. Tangible marketing is the use of promotional items to contribute to brand recognition and customer loyalty. Gifts and freebies should be approached with a defined strategy in order to create the highest impact for your marketing dollars.

Purpose of Tangible Marketing

Tangible marketing gives your customers a concrete object to hold in their hands. This engages the senses and makes your brand more memorable, something that can be especially difficult in service-based industries and those whose product isn't a box on a shelf. In addition, tangible marketing products build customer loyalty because it lets your clients know you have their needs on your mind and appreciate their business. Of course, tangible marketing has a more subtle purpose as well. By placing a branded item in your customer's hands, you put your company on their minds, and they'll have all your contact information easily accessible -- much more interesting and meaningful than simply exchanging business cards.

Tangible means something which you can feel. So when somebody says tangible advertising it means product is being promoted where you can feel, touch and experience it before making a purchase decision. This gives customer experential feel of product.
