Giveaways That Stay On The Desk
Discussion
ds who can't be bothered putting them away.Looking at my desk, I've got 2 mouse mats (they are upside down, so can't be arsed to read who they're from) and 2 mugs (the stainless thermal one is mine).
The one thing I do use was a gift from a supplier, a good quality tape measure. Every sod passing the desk tries to nab it, not on your nelly mate.

USB vacuum is a silly toy.
Buy blockpads.
Yep, that's the only thing on my desk from a supplier, although a ruler or stapler are also prized possessions. But pads don't just sit there - they actually get used.Buy blockpads.
ETA - stuff you can throw at people is always good... Once place I worked at did dect phone systems and used to give out foam handsets which always went down well.

Post-Its, block pad, jotter/scribble pad (A5 size) - keep it useful ie not 50% of the thing covered in company print so it's pretty useless compared to a blank one you'd use. Then I'd think yes I'd have that on my desk, I don't mind the small logo/strapline on it, use it and it ends up being passed around (eg phone message) or taken into meetings.
I've had those massive desk pads before, but really only a small central bit is useful and you end up not bothering. Small recognisable logo and strapline and let me have lots of space to write things works.
Agree about mousepads, once all the rage but you don't really notice them.
Perhaps a nice pen with them, not expensive but something different like a chunky grip biro (bigger area for your logo/strapline?), makes you keep/grab that one for writing rather than a standard biro?

I think everyone uses blockpads and/or Post-Its.
True. They will put them by the home phone or on their coffee table I suppose. I have some by my bed, in face, for that moment when I am about to drift off to sleep and my brain shouts, "WAIT! DON'T GO! I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!"
We're not doing it for consumer sales but if I did (and I may) I have asked the web guys for a page of say 5 items and for a£50 sale you get A, for £75 A or B etc but that's not this project.
The main reason for this is we sell headsets to companies who often need a specific connection or type, we need to recapture the next order as it's incredibly competitive so we need a bit of staying power. Most orders are placed by IT or secretary's so possibly 2 types of item.
I like the thought of mobile desk cradles
