      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | I'm going to try and market WG at Runefest by giving away some stuff. At the moment I'm leaning toward the bookmarks for a few reasons. They are cheap to make, useful, easy to carry, and can fit quite a bit of information. A pen is my next idea because I reckon they'll be a popular giveaway. They are relatively cheap to make too, BUT they can only fit our name and website. On the upside they can be kept in your pocket unlike a bookmark. Magnets are also pretty good giveaways, and are half way between the bookmark (you can cram in a little info) and the pen (people will actually want them). And they can fit in your pocket. Not sure if they'll have metal detectors though. Thoughts? --------------------  | ||||

| IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499 | 110% pen Everything else is either a one-time use thing or something I would most likely put away and never see again. Regardless if they use the pen or not, they would still keep it on a desk or something. --------------------   | ||||

The Wilderness Guardians wildernessguardians.com OR WildernessGuardians.com 6 year old clan, 100+ events OR WildernessGuardians.com No other clan comes close OR WildernessGuardians.com 1 of 2 Jagex-endorsed clans Suggestions? -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | I said flier/booklet Main reason being that you can stick a TON of information in them. However, theres always the risk of those being forgotten/discarded. Like Randy said, its likely that it would be forgotten. -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||

I think that's the best of those suggestions, from the website address people should be able to work out who the clan is (hence making it unnecessary to put our name there). If you can fit anything else on I'd put this:

| IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129 | Randy, on that limited space, the idea is to encourage as many visits as possible. Who cares if we hand them to a level 60. In 6 months time, he will recall our name and perhaps join. And If I made 1000 pens, I doubt we'll be in short supply. -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | You want something that is going to be easy to pick up and won't be bulky to carry. If JaGeX is giving out pamphlets or things to carry around, then a brochure of our own wouldn't be a bad thing, as they could just slide it in with their JaGeX pamphlet. Pens are pretty much the 100% thing that people will pick up, and some might actually use. Hell some people might use it to take notes with at RuneFest. --------------------      | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Gibble00 Group: Emeritus Posts: 775 Member No.: 100 Joined: January 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 9 | Flier/Booklet Meh I'm a publicity chair for an organization on campus and we as well as most organizations like to use fliers/booklets because of the amount of information and design you can put into them. Things like bookmarks we've used before, but they're not really going to catch anyone's eye on their own. Another popular thing that groups like to use is cups. They get cups with something printed on them like the organization's name and put fliers/pens/other goodies inside of them. Haven't done this myself so not sure where to order them but I bet it would be easy to find. --------------------  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | It depends on the way they're being distributed. I'd be much more likely to take a pamphlet from someone who's just handing them out than a pen. On the other hand, I'd be more willing to grab a pen or magnet if there is a booth and I'm talking to someone about it. Either way, I would say make more pens than other things, but have some fliers/bookmarks/magnets as well. --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | A plastic shopping bag thing with pen in it would be great. They would be advertising the clan all day as they walked around filling the bag up with whatever from tables. The pen would be the keeper thing. I'm not sure how expensive it would be or how many you would have to get but it is an idea. I was at a fair this summer and I was so thankful to find a bag just to hold all the crap people were handing out. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Like most others, i'd go for the pen. If its a cool design, they'll probably use it all the time. And everyone uses pens  Second choice i'd probably say is a keyring, again if its a cool design. In addition to the pen, i'd probably make some flyers or business cards too as you say, with a bit more info on. As for what goes on the pen, i'd go for this one

A keyring - Anyone who has keys would already have a keyring A fridge magnet - Target demographic probably wouldn't need/use one. A sticker - Most likely would be placed on clothing or something, probably last a few minutes. People may take them to place on friend's backs etc A badge - Name one person you know who has worn a badge recently for something other than a military event. My impressions on the list. I would go with either a pen or a bookmark -------------------- Joined September '04 | ||||
