Anyone want to send me one? As for pitches, certainly if it is worth it. But just a bunch of SWAG won't get you coverage - though it does earn my undying gratitude (thanks Kevin).<br/><br/>Then again, maybe that is just because I am a flak.

In fact, if it really matters I use FedEx. A reporter or even a marketing VP will always open a FedEx. I do like to use this with the media, particularly important pitches.

Upon thinking about it, I do occasionally send mailings -- but only rarely and by FedEx. I KNOW the recipient is going to open a FedEx. I just have to make sure what I'm sending is worth it -- particularly considering the anticipation with which most people open a FedEx. That’s for sure.

If you could hand write a pitch to an editor on stationery? It would set you apart.

How many folks have the time and client patience/funding to pull that off?

One thing is for certain, if you have bullshit on email and send if offline, it’s still bullshit.

Deep, I know.
