Giveaways For GERMANS!!! (no not world cup paper weights)

[DSLiverpool]

I need a postable, not breakable item to send to a mailing list of Germans to announce the new DST German website - ideally a mousemat fits the role but I am NOT sending a mousemat.

World cup paper weights may be a good idea ?

Not sure about paperweights - there must be something equally or more useful and lighter - but the World Cup is excellent. Get them out fast!

I have seen USB flash drives that are in the shape of a football top. Maybe you could have them done as the German kit but with your logo and URL as the sponsor? Put something cheesy like "We make a winning team" on the back and you are done.

I like that - will look into it - quite excited about becoming DSTeleKom ;o)

Send them an extra star to stick on their World Cup kit.

I'd check for any trademark issues - organisations like this protect 'vigorously'.

I was doing IT support for a design agency a couple of years before the London Olympics and one of their customers was launching a new beer they planned to call 'Olympic' - no intention to tie it in to the games but the IOC were of the opinion it should be licensed and if we didn't want to pay they would take action. The resulting beer wasn't called Olympic.

This link (pdf) gives some examples.
