Great conferences are a melding of many minds. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I took the suggestions from last conference and made several changes for next year. That said, I’d like us to put our heads together about another thing I’ve been thinking about.
Each year we give out bags we stuff with post cards, bookmarks, pens, flyers, tablets, and sometimes magazines. I was wondering . . .
· What do you do with all those postcards with book covers on them? What about the bookmarks? Do you use them or throw them away? Do these items encourage you to buy the book?
· Since the hotel supplies pens and tablets in every session, do you actually use the ones in your bags?
· Do you read the flyers advertising other conferences and contests?
· Do you like the free magazines that are either in your bag or on the free table?
Another thing, I would like suggestions, within reason since we are on a limited budget, what would really be beneficial in your bag? Or maybe you’d just like it empty to use for all the stuff you brought?
Please email me: president@owfi.org with your thoughts or post them to this blog.
Thank you for your help!
