I saw some of the swag handed out at Kappa's Convention a few weeks ago. The person who showed it to me was most excited about the reuasable shopping bag- blue with a big fleur de lis design. She also mentioned a charm (which she wasn't as in to, she said she only sees the point if you always go to Convention and make a bracelet or something- this was her second one). She also showed me a bunch of the materials, but no other swag- so I'm not sure if she got rid of it, consumed it, or just didn't mention it.

Moral of the story: reusable bag = good swag! Not only useful but also great branding & marketing for long after the convention ends.

ETA: Senusret, you better give us a nice post detailing everything you choose- ideally with pictures! After all, we are doing the work for- I mean helping- you

Ok, I am a little late to the party as I was at Theta convention the first time this went around.

I want to echo everyone's positive reaction to the reusable shopping bag, but add an aspect that has not yet been mentioned (at least not in my quick scan through the thread).

I went to a local charity event a few months ago and a reusable shopping bag was the favor that night. Since then, grocery clerks, other people in line, people at the pool when I carry it there, etc have asked about that specific charity. Therefore, if you make the logo easy to see/identify from more than 2 feet away then it also makes for great marketing!

As for our Theta convention last month, we also received the Vera Bradley coin purses. These were perfect for holding Drivers Licenses, Room Keys and a little cash so that we didn't have to deal with carrying purses around all week. Obviously something like Very Bradley would be just for the women, but maybe there is something a little more gender neutral? Or maybe guys would just use their wallet. However, for women this was really welcomed. We also were given tote bags, and the coin thing just attached onto it.

Pens? Yes, a few for convention, and I am fine if they never work again.

Love the flash drive idea. Filing that one away...

Shirt? nah, since sizes are so difficult to match up

I once received a office organizer that had various sizes of sticky notes and the little sticky arrow tab things. The plastic case had our logo on it. As an office supply nerd, I LOVED this.
