The keychain has the lowest unit cost and the longest useful life of any piece of branded merchandise. A well-made metal keychain stays on the recipient's car or house keys for ten to twenty years, longer than the car itself in some cases. Compared to the t-shirt that ends up at the gym or the pen that runs out of ink, the keychain is the lowest-cost-per-day piece of branded merchandise in the catalogue. At a 5,000-unit trade-show giveaway, the keychain reaches a wider audience at lower cost than any other format.
