In general, I love the bright green branding and the “Be a Pro for a Day” slogan.\u00a0The eye mask is pretty clever (though junky) and I can see people using the luggage tag when they’re traveling to races. The pen and the two bags are semi-useful trash. \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\ud83d\uddd1\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve never had any use — not one — for a drawstring bag. Why do we still make these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udfe2 the junk items are strongly branded (like these) and have clever uses that are appropriate for your audience
\ud83d\udfe2 \u2728you also give out a high-quality item\u2728 that includes some choice (in this case, size)
\ud83d\udfe2 there are options to buy high quality merch of your choosing (in this case, these were at the expo)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in the end, yes, you can sometimes (rarely) give out junk swag with my blessing, as long as you meet these three criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
