Why not use branded blank CD's and DVD's and give a few out that way they will last for years and have your branding PM me if you are really interested in co-marketing as I could be.

I am in if it it within my budget. How much would a few hundred pens and pencils cost? And how long until they get delivered.

woo, What is your budget for this? Here is the smallest available package - $30 each (you and me) for 250 ($0.12/pen) pens imprinted with 2 lines of your marketing messages (and 2 lines of mine). Delivery time would be about a week. Would you be able to distribute them? Regarding the pens, at this price point, they would be either BIC or Stick pens. If you want samples, I can send you some old leftovers I have from past campaigns.

timewind, you can actually get a tv spot for only $500? More info please!

smiths, the problem is they usually have a large minimum order requirement like 10,000 or so and that requires a huge commitment.

Oh I forgot to mention, currently looking for US based partners only for this as international shipping becomes an issue with customs, and shipping laws, etc.

Hi Fahd,

Ahh well that counts me out... located in Australia

No matter, the school holidays don't start here for a while so I have plenty of time to think of some good marketing to schools. Let me know how your campaigns go because if successful I will have to do one.

I am trying to think of things that will get more attention than pens. I assume the pens are low quality/ugly. What about a custom eraser or fun stickers for the younger kids? Also what how much would a half page flyer cost to get printed? I could have my neighbors stick it on bulletin boards in popular hallways and rooms. Branded/watermarked note cards might work well also and cheaper than flyers.

If I go in on it I want to get more than 250 for $30.

woo, if you pm me your mailing address. I can send you some of the pens. They are cheap but usable. They look like the bic/stic pens you get at walmart, staples, etc. The problem with most other items are that they are expensive and require minimum orders of a few hundred/thousand pieces. And simply not worth it for arcade sites imo. Take a look at www.4imprint.com for ideas.

I've also done golf balls but this was for a site selling high end golf clubs and so it was worth it.
