Hi Graham,
Agreed that they are popular. The problem is that their effectiveness in terms of spread of the message is limited. Yes, they would be an option if we had several million dollars to spend. We have to be cost effective in terms of getting the Brand out there. USB drives and those sort of promo items are best at local sales level. We do not have the infrastructure to deal with the logistics involved with inventory and distribution.
I surely can't comment on the situation in other countries, but at least for Germany, the drives create real awareness.
Think of that: We then have some "free" drives, we can give away to the press, to companies, to ministries etc. Everyone can try out OOo themselves now. I think it is a great opportunity if done right.
