How Promotional
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'items or information used to advertise' is directly and transparently built from 'promotional' (about advertising) + 'material' (items or content). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following common patterns across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Promotional material comes from the simple image of sellers making material, such as flyers, posters, or free samples, to 'promote' a product or event. So, promotional material now means the items or messages made to attract attention and 'advertise' something.
