T-shirts, baseball caps, messenger bags, aprons, coasters, logo-bugs,
pens, diskette boxes - we can do it all ;) - set up giveaways on your
site with a simple "fill in the form to receive the prize" page...

We've been doing promotional items and business gifts under a different
name in the UK for nearly 20 years, during which time we've sourced just
about everything you could ever wish to give to a client. All *could*
serve as a useful reminder of a URL, but we firmly believe none of the
above would generate traffic for content-heavy sites as effectively as
the cybercafe-based *linkpads* out for the first time at the end of the
month.
