this might sound quite harsh but I want to be open: I think, we do
not need
flyers for Fedora at all. I am visiting lots of trade fairs and
conferences
a year, either as visitor, as speaker or as exhibitor. And when you
look to
the trash bin at the fairground you will find a lot of them there
finally,
the other ones usually end on the trash bin at home - at least for
me. The
flyers are from my point of view just marketing stuff that do not add
real
value to a product, while a high-quality pen (that may works for
years) is
doing so (I still have some very old marketing pens from trade fairs,
that
are really well to handle and at writing). Flyers are wasting paper
except
for a very very less percentage, because the world gets more digital.
Think
about yourself: What are you doing if you get yet another marketing
flyer?
And that's completely fine. Flyers have a short lifespan, but that
doesn't mean they don't work.
If someone even takes it home and at least looks at it and then throws
it away, it sounds almost like a success story :)
While if you give someone, who is not familiar with Fedora, a pen, it's
just a pen with some weird "Facebook" logo on it. That's it, it doesn't
convey any information. Probability that someone would look at Fedora
because of a pen he/she finds in his/her bag after he/she returns home
is practically zero.
Not mentioning that the costs
of a flyer and a quality pen are not even remotely comparable.
