A local store is giving out promotional products to their first and last 10 customers for the day. This will go on for the next 5 days as a way to lure in customers. It is also their way of saying thanks to their customers for patronizing the store for the past 15 years.

I think it’s a good way to attract more customers without resorting to cheap tricks. For businesses out there, I suggest giving out items that can be used right away, daily. Like ballpens with the company information on it. Or notepads. Or a kitchen item. Something that can be used often. That way, the brand recall will be there.
