Promotional Products at the National Conventions
Both political parties had their respective National Conventions recently. The Democrats just finished up their Charlotte convention last night and the Republicans held theirs in Tampa last week. Besides having the privilege of hearing many political speeches live and writing about them, members of the media also receive a bag of official promotional products.
