The short version: I'm posting this along with my posts and others about the subject. The networking with other bloggers is as fun as going to the event. These give us a chance to talk in real life when a lot of our work is virtual. My advice: get a good photographer and get pictures of the events to everyone asap after the event. I like not having to worry about capturing it myself.

I think it's vital for ANY company to include their contact information ON the product or the packaging. Even if it's just an 800 number and their website address, it's crucial. One thing I might add to your post is that, when giving away product, it's a super idea to get the contact information of the recipients so you can follow up with them politely and professionally (not spam the daylights out of them) to see if they enjoyed the product, offer them a discount on their purchase or possibly do a giveaway on your blog or website. Thanks for a very helpful post! :) Heather .-= Heather Allard´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheMogulMomBlog/~3/C9d703_zc4Q/" rel="nofollow">The Mogul Mom’s Daily Grommet Contest</a> =-.

I love trying new things and being involved in blogger events like this. Not only to try products and see what works but for the good company! It's an excuse to get together with and meet other bloggers. Then I get to read about it from their point of view. A photographer is vital. The pictures tell the story and make my posts much better. I appreciate getting them right after an event. I find if I wait to write I forget some of the details. This helps me get to it right away. It's also a way to manifest your wishes. I posted pictures of my favorite Sorel boots that I can't wait for in their new line. We connected on Twitter and they're in the mail now. This is win/win marketing and with the search engine results it's also long-lasting.
