Dear Ralph,
Unless you have quizzed your participants regarding the usefulness of the "swag" I doubt the validity of your statement. Anything you do will increase their reception and give "warm fuzzies" to the memory of your presentations. I feel a handout is essential. Personally I print off anything I can. Thankfully.
I’m giving a presentation next week to Keene’s State upper class course on safety training.
One question that I’d like to address during the presentation is whether "safety training swag" has value. Over the years, programs I have been involved in have given away a variety of things for people to take with them after training, including:
- paper handouts of the presentation
- paper summaries of the key points of the content
- certificates of training
- lab gloves
- magnets with pithy sayings and/or key phone numbers to place on lab equipment
- opportunities to win gift certificates for food at the campus facilities
- EHS branded trinkets
Beyond food at the event itself, none of these seem to have much impact on the audience, either at the time or over the longer period. I wonder if anyone knows of any studies that have assessed the value of this practice?
Thanks for any help with this.
- Ralph
