Swag Challenge

How Creative are you?

Show us your Swag Awesomeness

I’ve got a challenge for all of you. Especially those that go to book signings and/or conventions.

SWAG CHALLENGE – What do you do with all that wonderful swag once you’ve received it. Do you put it in a bag or a box? Hang it on your walls? Put it in a scrap book? Give it away?

Face it! You can only put so many magnets on the frig, and use so many bookmarks. Especially when 75 percent or more of your books are electronic. So what do you do with the rest?

Here’s the challenge. Shows us what innovative ways you display or use your swag. If everything is still in a bag, here is your opportunity to get motivated and do something with it.

I need ideas. I go to a convention and come back with a bag or two of swag or more. (The picture above is just a fraction of what I came home with from one convention.) Let’s see who can come up with the most interesting or unique ideas.

Prize: Bragging Rights, Inspiration to Others Award, and Swag. 🙂
