    Best promo item I ever created in terms of return and longevity were snowboard-shaped bottle openers that we gave away at consumer ski shows. Killed it! See if you can get someone to do a sameday run.

    Or...temporary tattoos of spaghetti barf might be good.

    Finally, if I were Grant Gunderson, I'd print a shit load of post cards with one of my favorite images with your contact info on the back.

    One of those CD business cards like 2P made for PM Gear. Honestly, SIA and all the other trade shows are so heavy is swag it is hard to stand out. Sell yourself and your pictures. Get all the contact information you can and make sure to follow up.

    A CD that you could use in a PC or MAC with an auto play Flash type movie of your photos could work. If it’s done well; with a good audio track and transitions.

    Dude, seriously, he's on to something. You know how in Vegas they give away those little business card-type cards with hookers on them and dirty shit? Simulate one of those with dirty writing, etc., but with your contact info. I have one right here that I can scan if you want to see what I'm talking about. My boss brought a bunch back from a convention "as a joke".

    edit: I just noticed that she appears to have a star for a vagina. Good or bad? I don't know.

    What's wrong with keeping it simple? Hummers and blow should do the trick.

    Some type of CD/DVD slideshow with your awesome pics, portfolio, and an eye catching cover is my vote.

    good luck!

    Go down to Boundary Bay, have them bottle up a few hundred growlers of amber, get some labels made up of one of your better shots and paste them on. They be flocking around you like Shuksan black flies on a July day.

    If you can't get a private label for a beer. You could probably could create the same effect with a beer inside a coolie with a strap. Never underestimate the ability to have something that keeps your hands free and still allows you to carry a beer around a convention floor.

    A beer cozy is always nice but I would go with calendar -- either desk or wall or poster. I hear you have a good source of photographs.

    A CD of Windows/Mac wall paper would be nice as long as the different screen sizes were supported. If that's what the PMGear CD card does then never mind.
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.
