    1. What's the most memorable trade show giveaway you've ever received?  My favorite thing ever was this collapsible backpack. So it folded into a small pouch you could store stuff in if you wanted to, but it also was able to be turned inside out and it folds out into a fairly decent size backpack I can take on trips without taking up much room in my suitecase.
    2. What eco-friendly swag items have you incorporated into your trade show strategy?  We do a lot of water bottles. We try and use lanyards made from recycled materials.

    I have received some great items, but one of the items that I absolutely love is the Airfly pro transmitter. This has been a game changer for me when traveling.

    These are some grat ideas for swag bag gifts! 

    I always tell our sponsors if you think you'd throw it away before you got on the airplane back home, don't gift it.
