Swag -- what free Syncopation stuff should we make?

[Chris Dalton]

We're looking to order some new "swag" for the upcoming Informs annual meeting in San Diego, and would like some feedback on what people like. In the recent past, we've done:

Mugs (breakable and can be hard to pack)
Shot glasses (popular if they're filled with candy)
Playing cards (very well received, went quickly)
Aluminum coasters (they were Tony's idea)

What sorts of things would you like to see?

[Lori Carswell]

Given the weather in San Diego, maybe we should give away sunscreen?
Tote bags/reusable shopping bags for those who will skip some of the sessions to go shopping?
Gel covers for iPhones/PDA's?
Frisbees?

[Chris Dalton]

I like the frisbee idea. We could make them green like a chance node, or red like our logo.

[Tony Manzella]

Frisbees would be great beats those lame-ass squeezy things Chris wants to do.

I still like the poker chips idea.

[Lori Carswell]

And the winner is... You'll have to stop by Syncopation's booth to find out!!

Hint: It's not lame-ass.

[Chris Dalton]

Trade show squeezy things are a pillar of our economy. Show some respect!

[Lori Carswell]

Then the economy's in even worse shape than I thought...
