Philanthropic “Giveaways”
These can be more involved to prepare and execute and often lack the “staying power” of a giveaway with your logo on it. However, more attendees are appreciating companies that take this approach compared to the “landfill tchatskis” found at many booths. Keep an eye out for future blogs where we discuss these in more detail.
