NEED FEEDBACK - random giveaways?

I have been toying with an idea about having random giveaways.  I am pretty sure no one really knows what I do for a living. :) I work in Aviation for a living and arrange charter flights for individuals and businesses who need to travel across the country in corporate type aircraft (propeller, turbo props and jets).  I was considering sending the crew on the road with a take apart "quad" hoops I made(HOOpnDaddy Hoops) to give them away to Hoopcity friends who live in those towns.  I considered trying to work out trades with other hoop makers(would love to collect other hoop artist hoops) or crafters, but space is usually limited on the aircraft we use.

I know some people look at something that is given to them as not of any value and not worth putting in a lot of effort. These are valued at $45. I think it would just be fun to get them out there for people to play with(and I have an overstock). :)  

 

Some sample cities we go to: Milwaukee,WI,  Madison,WI, Waukesha,WI, Chicago,IL, Palm Beach,FL,  Toronto,Ontario(customs may make this impossible), Detroit,MI, Marysville,OH, Cleveland,OH, Teterboro,NJ, Washington DC, Nashville,TN, San Diego,CA, Los Angeles,CA, Minneapolis,MN,  Charleston,SC, St. Louis,MO, and many other cities.

 

Questions: 

Do you think you would go to the local airport to pickup a "free" hoop?  I wouldn't want to go through the effort if they will not be picked up.

traveling?

 

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.  THANKS!! :)

If you are in the San Diego area, I am in San Diego right now and have a 38" HDPE "quad hoop" with push button connections goes to the first person able to pick it up.  I fly out on 1/19 a.m., so Weds 1/18 would be a good time to meet up.  Who wants it? :)   Only 1 available!

I think this is unbelievably generous of you and I think you do have some points about things that are "free" don't see the value in the gift. However, I think people that are serious about hooping understand the value of hoops, especially hand made hoops, and I'm a bit shocked at your generosity!
