kelel01 1 #5 March 4, 2005 Oooh! One of those fold-up chairs . . . the ones that go into the pouch/sac thing? Know what I'm talking about? My company gave us those a couple of years ago, and it's great for boogies, tailgating, picnics and BBQ's, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #10 March 4, 2005 Are you allowed to do alcohol? I was in a store the other day that had disposable wine glasses, small bottles of wine, crackers, cheese, chocolates, etc. I even thought that would be the perfect gift for someone who you don't know quite what to get them. I'm glad I could help!

soulshine 0 #12 March 4, 2005 Oh, those chairs are great! Especially if you have the company logo on them it makes it harder for someone to swipe when you take it other places and it's free advertisement.

NWFlyer 2 #13 March 4, 2005 I've been running a vendor selection for about a year and have seen all kinds of vendor giveaways. Most of it ... meh. Pens... I can use. I have a lot that light up and they amuse me. Just make sure the damn things write! Bags... I have too many cheapass laptop bags. One gave away a cool convertible backpack/shoulder bag that was higher quality than most. That's not a bad idea, or you could get a nice quality backpack. Golf club ... got a pretty nifty putter that folds up into a zippered case. That's got a high "cool factor" but I'm not much of a golfer so it's sat on my shelf. Shirts... tend to be pretty fugly, at least the ones I've seen. Nalgene-type water bottles... not bad. Trying to remember what else I've seen... I think that's pretty much it. Seeing some of the ideas here, it sounds like my vendors aren't that creative! Back when I used to travel a lot, I got a cool fold-up travel clock from Starwood's frequent guest program."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiaKrembs 0 #17 March 4, 2005 We found a pretty cool travel wine/drink chiller that comes with glasses that we might consider. Alcohol is not out of the question, but my boss (AA) tends to toss those ideas out the window.

GiaKrembs 0 #18 March 4, 2005 Lovin the feedback everyone!!! Done most of those as well.... We also give out quartely gifts to our customers, so for the events we try to go a little nicer on the gifts. We like to try and make them practicle/useful items as well, that way stands out in the customers minds. One of our best gifts so far was a conversion calculator. I know sounds pretty boring, but the business I'm in we are constantly have to convert everything into metrics. I still have customers calling for those... hmmmm Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.
