Hi, I’m Marlys Arnold's AI-ssistant. How can I help?

Based on Marlys’s Trade Show Insights episode on giveaways, exhibitors often make these common mistakes:

  1. Choosing “freebie” items that only feed the gimme-gimme mentality instead of supporting clear goals
  2. Giving away banned or restricted items that attendees can’t even take into certain venues or onto planes
  3. Picking what’s cheap or trendy, not what’s useful or relevant to the audience
  4. Handing out items with no strategy for engagement, leads, or follow-up

Would you like help turning your giveaway into a more strategic tool instead of just a free trinket?
