515.0. "Promotional Items?" by SNOWY::HEDRICK (South Central Area Support) Thu Apr 21 1988 13:52

On May 17-22 the World Age Group Games in Tumbling and Trampoline will be
held in Lubbock, Texas. My wife is in charge of mailing and selling of the 
tickets to over 800 foreign participants and not including all (~1500) of
the American participants. The World Age Group Committee is requesting if any
companies have promotional items such as pens, pencils, scratch pads, bumper
stickers, key chains, balloons, bags, or any other items to please send them.
They will in turn give out packets to these Americans and foreigners upon 
arrival.

Does Digital do anything like this? Am I in left field? If Digital does then
please refer me to some place or person. If no interest in this I will delete
this pretty soon.

Thanks,

glenn

	Glenn - Certainly we do have promos - you could certainly start by ringing up the Bedford Bookstore. Do we get involved in stuff like you're describing? GFQ! (Good #$*@ Question). Certainly the field distributes promos on occasion - we may be giving out the Zagat Restaurant Guide to our unit's customers. But as an organized thing... I think we probably do, but I dunno... Sorry can't be of more help. eric
515.2	Why not try Public Relations?	EMASS::NEWMAN	What, me worry? YOU BET!	`Thu Apr 21 1988 16:30`	3
	Why not contact the Public Relations Department? According to the phone book they can be reached at DTN 251-1555 and are located in the Concord, MA CFO facility.
515.3	Makes you wonder about $ sometimes!	SNOWY::HEDRICK	South Central Area Support	`Thu Apr 21 1988 17:31`	14
	RE-.2 (Thanks) I tried this # and found out we DON'T do this kind of thing. The person told me that I could buy the items and have it charged to my Cost Center. $#%^ I bet my boss would love this! Kind of bothers me when I see us spending $ on something stupid, and this seems maybe a real cheap way of advertisement. These people involved are usually well-off money-wise, and I would think we would want to be in the minds of this type of person. Guess not, glenn
515.4	Who's the Digital Promotion Czar?	ATLANT::SCHMIDT		`Fri Apr 22 1988 09:13`	9
	Glenn: It's hard to figure out what rationale Digital uses in its overall advertising and promotional strategy. We give DECmates (good only for Word Processing -- no flames, please) to the Public Television auctions, but did you ever try to find us in the Yellow Pages under the "Word Processing" heading? Atlant
