Irving, TX (PRWeb) February 8, 2007 -- Promopeddler.com of Sherwood, Oregon, was recently honored with a 2007 Web Award for the Marketing/Branding category by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI). This award recognizes PPAI distributors and supplier members in five categories for creative and effective promotional product web sites. Currently there are over 23,000 distributors in the US. Winners were recognized at "ONE", a special evening of awards and entertainment held in January during The PPAI Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The market for promotional items was $17.85 billion in sales last year. Most media and print advertising are highly perishable, with newspapers having a 24 hour shelf life. In contrast, promotional products at Promopeddler.com deliver high levels of repeat exposure because recipients keep and re-use them. Branding has become big business and Promopeddler.com has entered the marketplace as "your own personal in house branding agency."

"Winning this award is a great achievement," said PPAI President and CEO Steve Slagle, CAE "It's a reflection of both distributor and supplier's technical efforts to create a useful web site as a business tool for the promotional products industry." This was the first year to award industry websites in the marketing and branding category.
