		<description>What an amazing experience!

In answer to your question,  I'd
suggest that the very cool takeaways
should be reserved for those who
have been pre-qualified.  In response
to your invitation or in answer to  a
survey, they must collect the takeaway
after giving a specific number at the booth.

As part of an overall strategy, less expensive 
but useful, pertinent giveaways can be distributed 
to casual passersby who then become a part of 
an overall PR Branding campaign.  Some may 
turn into leads then or sometime later, but a 
first contact of recognition has been made.
