Default Want to go shopping for ifish?

I have a credit at National Pen.

In addition, ifish will be at the sportsman show in booth 1252 from Feb 7th-11th.

I usually have pens, or some kind of doo dads to hand out.

This year, I want something different and fun! Not too expensive, of course, but in the pen range price.

So what do you think would be fun? Suckers? I like those suckers on the front page, but I don't want folks to eat my advertising!

Anyhow... if someone finds something fun and interesting, let me know!

What do you think of magnet cards? What would do ifish the best advertising? What would people keep and not throw out?

Is there anything that would be of use to folks?

I love shopping, and I wish I had time, but I don't have much! Plus, I can't see the pictures very well!

If you want to help me, post what you think is cool, here!

Jen

Post-it notes. The one thing I always keep from a trade show or conference are the packs of post it notes.

I wonder if they would laser engrave a fish hook for you to hand out.

Beverage Opener/Key Ring


Key Ring Light


License Plate Frame


Round Key Ring/Tag


Waterproof Wallet with Key Ring


Just some ideas. I like the waterproof wallet - keep license, tags, essential cards and cash.

Oh, thank you for the ideas!

Chromo, I love yours, but I don't think those are from National, are they?

I would not be ordering from them, but they have a credit for me.

I like some of the mini tape measures/carabiner combos

And it says that if you order 250 of them you get a free TV. That might make a good raffle item.

How about this? It's on sale, now.



These are my favorites, though... also on sale:




Or, post its:




This is the best deal. I could get tons of these, so that everyone would get one. Easy to pack, carry to the show, etc.
Not so cool, but a good deal!


The others would be first come, first serve. You choose. What do you think?

Sure fun to be able to see again.

These are just to give away.

Plastic bags are a neat idea, but I'm afraid to have them out lying around as trash, saying "ifish.net" on them! Yikes! We talked about that problem earlier.

The license things are too big to haul around a ton of them for the show. I always have to think about that. I may buy a couple, though, if some people want some.

The wallet holders are the nicest idea, I think. But, I still
adore the flashlights!

Jen,
One bit of input is to have a choice for people. The two that you have mentioned are the keychain flashlights and the wallet holders. When people have a choice to make they are more likely to hold onto and use the item and, most importantly, remember where it came from! Not sure if it is possible for you to do a bit of both but I hope that input helped a bit. Have a great night!

Set up an "Ifish Tattoo" booth. Advertise for life. One of those guys/gals down in Portland might come set up shop for cheap to get some of their own advertising. Ouch. I hate needles.
