BKGarry Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Ok so I am sitting here bored, and i was wondering does anyone have a list of companies to hit up for freebies on enquiries on items, Mousemats, Mugs, Coasters, Pens and other novilty items. I just want to go on a little bit of a mission, i might even take a bit out of my own time (as i am not in charge here) to go to bet and see what i can get out of them on the Saturday!!!!!! Any Ideas People???? The Gazzamatraz on the hunt for the Free Stuff
plock Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I make an effort to go to BETT each year; I always end up with a fair few freebies! It's the carrying home on the train that I don't enjoy! hehe
Elky Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 USB pen drives? I know a company with a deal on offering one of these free!
plock Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 hehe - I managed to get a Pen Drive last year, only 64MB though!
limbo Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 The challenge at BETT is getting somone to shout for lunch! A couple of years ago one of the electronic voting system suppliers were offering a pret-a-manger sandwich if you sat through their presentation!
tscnmuk Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I got a supplier of laptop storage solutions to shout for my lunch last year - only because I sounded very interested :-)
witch Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 USB pen drives? I know a company with a deal on offering one of these free! NOT IF YOU ARE ALREADY A CUSTOMER! (bitter, moi?) NOT the way to keep us, I wouldn't have said (Smacks of the Nationwide ad where the guy leaves the bank that admits the special rates were just to reel in new customers and then they were ignored) Tell Mark I am bigger than him (and more welsh) and he is to sort this out or else!!! ceilliau to you
Nedders Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 hmm "ceilliau" isn't that a little rude :twisted:
acrobson Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I have a toner company who send me shortbread and cuddly bears every few weeks when they think they have lost a sale, there ink is crap like, but the shortbread is good.
webman Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 We got Pukka-pads and sweets from Wheatley Dyson
john Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 AARGH Wheatley Dyson, they have been harrasing the entire school for days. But if they do good freebies then I may place a small order with them
tech_guy Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 My colleague entered a draw at Bett and won an Acer PDA - it was actually quite a neat bit of kit. We had to put up with the company that ran the draw harrassing us on the phone for a few weeks afterwards. The only other 'freebie' we ever got is two free printers when we placed a massive IT order with a company.
acrobson Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I got a massive freebie when i started my job, 1200 kids and 300 teachers, who says all freebies are good!

Dos_Box Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 hehe - I managed to get a Pen Drive last year, only 64MB though! Almost time to ressurect the 'Best Freebie at BETT' topic. I gather we got the D-Link stand swamped a couple of years ago when they were giving away free wi-fi hotspot detectors.
