You are correct that offering such promotional items to affiliates can have a positive effect on the sponsor -- both via the advertising effects of the items, and increased affiliate satisfaction.
There are companies for whom I bring thousands of dollars in sales each month who have answered "no" to requests for simple items like a company pen or a shirt. Now, of course, not getting such an item isn't going to stop me from selling for them (I'm obviously making a nice profit from all those sales), but I think it does also help maintain a positive sponsor-affiliate relationship.
