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.

 

Random drawing based on "ACTIVE" Hoopcity members located in the cities the aircraft is

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!
