Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice merchandise ideas for FOSDEM (and other events)
Hi everyone, Thanks to Cloph, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Simon, Nigel, Thorsten, Daniel and Osvaldo for the feedback and ideas! Beer/coffee mats as mentioned by Thorsten sound like a good idea, and maybe we can print some of the the LibreOffice "tips of the day" on them, or a table of useful keyboard shortcuts. I'll also look into a supplier for cupcakes, as mentioned by Simon and Nigel, and microfiber cloths as Cloph described...

But what else can we offer on our stand? For instance: * (rain) covers for bicycle seats * microfiber cloth to clean your screen or glasses.

Hi Mike I would never turn down a cupcake. In principle they are a great idea for getting people to the stand. However, after you have filled you face with one (or more) cupcakes you still need to take away something with a more enduring reminder of LibreOffice than crumbs down the front of your T-shirt or icing in your beard. You would still need pens or other swag in addition to the expense of the cakes. My heart says cupcakes, but unfortunately my head says beermats!

I had some company-branded chocolate at the conference, which proved to be a bit of a hit - with Belgium being somewhat of the world's hub for fine chocolate, perhaps that fits the bill (and could be sourced locally)?

Hi everyone, FOSDEM is coming up, and as it's the biggest event around free and open source software in Europe, we're always there with a stand. In recent years, we've brought various types of merchandise including: * T-shirts * Stickers * Flyers * Pens (made of recycled cardboard and corn plastic) * Candies In the last couple of years, we've brought flyers listing different ways to get involved in LibreOffice. And because the pens are very popular, we tell people: you can only get a pen if you also underline on the flyer, one way you're going to contribute to the LibreOffice project :-) So it's a bit of fun, and people take home a reminder that they can contribute. But what else can we offer on our stand? For instance: * Badges * Toys (VLC had a mini Lego-like toy for their logo once) * Beer/coffee mats * Other clothing items * ...
