What is the BPMA?

Jessie | 22 Jul 2022

You may have heard the name BPMA mentioned whilst on the hunt for promotional merchandise for your brand, but what is it, and more importantly what does it mean for you?

We love an acronym in Marketing, so quite simply the BPMA stands for the British Promotional Merchandise Association. It’s their job to govern the industry to make sure the products offered – and the companies offering them- follow their strict code of conduct based on quality and trust.

Their Mission

They exist to inspire, connect and educate all members by:

  • Acting as the industry voice
  • Maintaining a strict code of conduct that allows Customers to buy with confidence
  • Delivering the world’s best accredited industry education programme
  • Bringing members together to share ideas and best practice
  • Providing inspiration and motivation to help grow their businesses

Always look for the BPMA stamp when you buy promotional merchandise for your company to ensure you get the best quality merch from a company you can trust.
