As I write this from a bustling conference floor, surrounded by booths offering everything from branded water bottles to stress balls, I can’t help but wonder: How much merch is too much? For many brands, conferences are the perfect opportunity to share a little piece of themselves with attendees, hoping to leave a lasting impression long after the event ends. But do we actually use this stuff once we get home, or does most of it hit the bin?
At Duotone, we’re curious about your take. Are the pens, notebooks, and tote bags useful additions to your daily routine, or just extra baggage by the time you unpack? Personally, I’m in need of a new pen, so you know where I stand!
So here’s the deal: We’d love to hear your thoughts on conference swag. Do you keep it? Use it? Toss it? Leave a comment below with your experience, and if you’re interested in some Duotone merch of your own, drop your email—your next favorite pen might just be on the way to you!
