Recipients of a giveaway are grateful to receive a giveaway to begin with. I have attended trade shows for vendors before and attendees literally walk the aisles of booths with duffel bags, some with wheels. They heap them full of free samples without passing wind at the supplier. Please excuse my language if it is rather uncouth. I have been on the distributor end and I only accept samples that are handed to me after being courteous to the supplier who is trying to make a living. They're not all Santa Claus in suits. I personally have found it disrespectful to the supplier to just grab and go. I am a distributor too so I can say this.
Back to the client. They adore samples. They ... well ... covet them. Some expect it. Some don't. Some expect you to spend $100s on free samples and overnight them and then are offended if you only ask them for a shipper's account number. How dare I. Anyway, cheap promotional products are sometimes "cheap" due to their price range only. There are such things as heavily priced promotional items that are ... well ... garbage (sorry to say). There is cheap but with a high minimum (pens, pencils, rub on tattoos, sticky flags/page markers, sticky memo books and the like). Cheap with a low minimum is hard to come by or is it? Then there is cheap price wise and quality wise with no quality control.
We're interested via this blog post the latter if you would be so kind and care to share.
