Looking For Offline 'Goody Bag' Suggestions

5 replies
Hey guys,

Odd title, but hopefully it draws some curious attention.

Basically, I work in recruitment and cater to the creative and digital sector. We are sponsoring a digital conference, and as such we will need to create roughly 200 'goody bags' to give people attending the event. Obviously these people are digital/creative inclined, so it would be great to provide something which will receive continuous use by them; but at the same time should also promote recruitment.

Ideas we've thought of include:
- Promotional flyers for free career coaching/psychometric assessment
- Those fold out information cubes/branded rubiks cubes
- Branded stress balls
- Branded USB/business cards

Obviously not the most exciting core product to promote to this audience, but I'm asking the WF community for some creative suggestions as to what might appeal and receive a good response rate. Obvious intention is to pick up recruitment work, but that begins with actually making an impact in their lives.

Cheers

      Hi Steve,

      Appreciate the suggestions, couple of great ones in there!

      I guess something that can used everyday during workplace activity would be ideal, so something like earbuds or a laser pointer sounds great.

        I like the promotional cubes idea.

        I went to a business networking event earlier this year and filled up a goody bag with freebies from 20+ different companies. One of the few things I remember getting is a pen from a solicitors. It was one of those slightly chunky pens with the company brand colors on and contact details. I used it almost every day until it stopped working. If you have the budget for it, pop for a good quality pen they will look after and use all year round.

          Need to see if we have the budget for it, but a quality pen is a decent idea.

          I liked post-it notes above too. The audience we're targeting is mainly creatives/marketing heads from advertising agencies - so something appealing to them.

    seriously discounts and gift cards to products that maybe useful. That would be the biggest one for me.
