I'd recommend not buying giveaways like bags and pens. People just take those and you don't get anything from them.



If you can give something away that will make someone take action, that would be more helpful.



For example, if it were possible to create a token redeemable online for 0.5 Dash, you could give those away. Create a set number, like 50, and you would be giving away at most 25 Dash. That's less than what bags and pens would cost.



Then you have something to email people about ahead of time. Tell people you will be giving away the 50 tokens in a random drawing to anyone who comes to the table and registers, and you don't have to be present to win. All you have to do is tell the person at the table handing out the numbered tickets what the current value of the token is, and you get entered into the drawing.



Keep a list of winning numbers, and give a token to anyone who comes back with a winning ticket.



This gets you a bunch of things:

1. People have to figure out how much 1 Dash is worth.

2. People have to talk to you to get a ticket (as opposed to walking up, grabbing a pen, and walking away.)

3. People have to come back to your booth to get the token.

4. In order to redeem the token, they have to install Dash wallet or figure out their Dash address on an exchange, and contact you again (by email or whatever you decide.)

5. Once they have their 0.5 Dash, they might figure out how to spend it. Of course they might also just trade it away.

6. Overall, it gets you awareness and engagement, and the opportunity for discussion.



For maximum benefit, have some tokens set aside. Email some people ahead of time that you really want to talk to, tell them you have a token reserved for them, and ask them to come by the table to get it.
