Swag! Who did it best at Xponential 2019 in Chicago!
Like it or love it swag is part of every exhibition! This is a shout out to those companies who nailed it in Chicago this week and helped add a bit of fun to the event!
In fourth place is the light-up yoyo demonstrated by ePropelled team and nimbly showcasing the 80's tricks 'the spider web', 'rock the baby' and the finale 'rock the spider web!'.
Coming in at third was the squishy stress-relieving fighter jet from DARCorporation.
Second was Click Bond with their USB Charger and Phone Holder; perfect for the flight home as I try to catch up with Game of Thrones. (No spoilers please).
Also their actual product came in handy when we had a piece of kit break!
And in first, already on fire in the press this week by delivering a live organ by drone in Baltimore is Matt Scassero's team at the University of Maryland UAS Test Site with the Flying Monkey which was frequently demoed at their stand in all its full audible screaming glory!
I look forward to sharing 1, 3 & 4 with my daughter when I get home. Thanks all!

5 年I gathered SWAG for my daughter Jessica, who is a first grade teacher in Surry County VA, her kids love the flying monkeys, lighted pens and balls, and are big fans of small notebooks....Jessica keeps them in a Treasure Chest in her room as a “treasure/reward” for her kids....Thanks to all exhibitors

5 年OmG this is the perfect topic. Did the booths step up their swag game this year?! Meh, the one cool item was the laser-printed pens customized with your name imo.

5 年Swag comes in 3 categories for me.. 1) For me, now. Food based items or mints / gum. For that little sugar rush you need or if your lunchtime pizza was a bit more flavoursome than your customers need to know about. Also, beer. 2) For me, useful. Items that will just get used, I have a 2 year old USB to multi adapter that I take everywhere which I got from a show. Battery packs can be good, I too liked the phone holder and charger from Click bond 3) For the kids. I have 2 boys who need entertainment, and anything I can turn into a toy will win. As much as I like the swag, I'd love to know if anyone has ever done business with someone because of the swag!
