Getting is good. Giving is better.
By now the story gets old. Girl goes to blogging conference. Girl gets swag.
Here’s where the story is different. Girl gets swag and gives said swag to readers. When you go to a blogging conference, vendors come with samples, products, media ‘swag’ to give bloggers. It’s fun, exciting and fast paced. Walking through one expo will leave your shoulder sore from holding so much stuff.
Then you get home and realize you want your readers, the reason you are blogging, to have some fun too! Everything in the picture above will go to one lucky reader!
And not everything fit in the picture. 
I’m giving away one HUGE McDonald’s tote filled with swag I got from the blogging conference I went to a couple weeks ago.
