OmniUpdate does it right



I got my free uwebd mug yesterday from OmniUpdate and I have to say kudos!  OmniUpdate gets it!  They understand that as a human being, I am selfish and don't want/won't use a mug (even if it's free) that comes with some crappy company logo on it.  Instead they sent me (and every other member of University Web Developer Ning Network) a mug with ZERO branding on it and free chocolate/candy/other yummy goodies!  The only sales pitch in the whole package came in the form of a 25% off coupon for implementation services, exclusively for people who got the mug.

OmniUpdate, I salute you!  You gave me something not only cool but useful and, even though it doesn't have your logo on it, I'm not likely to forget where it came from.

But you wouldn't mind receiving promotional material from them... right? :)

I missed out on the goodies with mine. :(

i absolutely wouldn't mind. not only does it take like no energy to throw it away if i'm not interested in it, but i always enjoy seeing how different companies market. plus who knows....they've already got the main dartmouth website on board with their product....maybe one day development will follow suit if they present a convincing argument
