I worked for a company that sent out remote controlled cars to their top 300 global targets, with the message “if you take the meeting you’ll get the remote”. Needless to say about 280 were returned, and the remaining 20 didn’t take meetings (I assume the cars look good on office bookshelves).

#17The range of practices I’ve seen go from just come up to the booth to get some trinket to put in your email address to get something a bit more valuable to listen to our 5m spiel and you can pull something out of a claw machine.
