We are frequently asked for the latest interesting promotional handout...something that no one has seen. "We've already done that; it's boring." No one wants to be boring! An insult! However, being new or the latest doesn't necessarily make something great. You can turn to fashion for some great examples of new things gone bad. How to avoid this? One suggestion is to take a successful product or idea and make it better or more interesting. Take the iPod, for example. There were mp3 players on the market before the iPod, but Apple made it amazing. In deciding how to motivate and engage your audience, think about the products and ideas they already use and like. Coffee mugs are boring in theory and you can't give one that is made of wood with spokes sticking out of it (ridiculous but interesting). You can, however, make a cooler one! You can give one that people actually want to use! Don't want to be boring? 30 ideas here.
