Default Promotions & incentives

Part of my job entails organising promotional giveaways and bits and bobs. I therefore get sent gumpf all the time on what is new in that particular industry, and whilst this item is not at all appropriate for our market, it did make me chuckle.

USB Exercising Hamster - USBNow.co.uk

They were promoting it as a novel way of increasing productivity amongst data entry staff! Brilliant!

Edit: Just saw this in the same publication: GreenSeat™ - a unique promotional, recyclable cardboard seat system how cool is that!?!

How cool indeed!

Just think, you could use it on the lottie and when it gets a bit worn, you could put it on the patch as a weed suppressor (sp?)

Love the seat, that's brilliant! Wonder if Michael Eavis would like that, as he's banned metal tent pegs at glastonbury this year and will be handing out free degradeable pegs made of potato!

With the amount of rain they're bound to get, I wouldn't bank on potato pegs lasting more than 5 minutes!!
