Swag is the cool stuff you get for free when you go to conventions. (Stuff We All Get) You also see it for many different businesses. This article says that Swag is there to promote their products, and reward loyal customer, not to make a profit. This is something that most businesses simply DON’T UNDERSTAND. In the world of the internet it is rare, most companies simply can not afford to send out free stuff to the world with no return.
And some that do only send free e-swag, the digital stuff cause it costs them almost nothing. By far the BEST e-swag I ever seen is called America’s Army. It is a top quality video game, but instead of being sold it is given away for free to promote the US Army. For the rest of this entry I will only focus on REAL stuff that gets sent to you.
