Fittingly, the first political product actually coincided with the first President of the United States, George Washington, who wore a political button during his inauguration on April 30, 1789 in Manhattan. His was one of the 70 or so known styles of buttons to be made for the event. While these early buttons—often made from wood, cloth and tin—are a far cry from the lenticular, embossed, light-up lapel adornments of today, they started a trend that is only growing larger each year. So, with the advances in technology and communication, political campaigns raise millions upon millions of dollars for ad buys, campaign staff, constant travel and of course, promotional products.
