Do you see that when at a big occasion, some employer gives out a advertising gadget or two to everybody that walks on by or doing other things? It's a way to acquire some prospective shoppers employing that tactic. It's cheap, light, and some of them are beneficial to implement such as a pen, hat, or an umbrella. They are passed out to everybody because it's a way to come up with more enterprise for offline promoting. Nonetheless, it's not everyone's cup of tea since it does cost money to pass out these items and can take a while to have some clients.
Besides going to tradeshows to pass these out, how about joining or create a party for the people whom you may or may not know?

There are always some type of events going on in major cities such as in Seattle, San Diego, Los Angeles, and New York. One of the good ones is in the early month of July in Seattle. They have the festival going on in Chinatown which they call it the "International District (ID)" since there are many different ethnic groups in the area. Many merchants have their own booth out on the streets where traffic is normally at except for the two days on a Saturday and Sunday. Many people go to events like this all the time and can help create the buzzwords by using the promotional merchandise.
Some good ideas on what promotional devices to apply is a pen, umbrella, hats, cups, notepads and balloons. Kids love balloons despite that there's a company or an individual industry name on it. People need a pen to write with at unexpected moments of jotting down some ideas or what to remember. We tend to not remember stuff very easily. If you combine a notepad with a pen, someone would appreciate it since not everyone carries one all the time. A cup comes in handy for people that drinks coffee or some other beverage.
If you want yours to be unique on some of the promotional pieces, have them stand out against the other competitor such as using quotes or cartoons to implement along with the company name on it. You may brighten someone's day every time they look at it.
