Default Best and Worst 'Free Gifts'

Alrighty, so I'm the marketing director for a credit union and I have to save the world in a week by increasing our new accounts volume. Nobody likes moving their finances around and dealing with anything like that...but every once in a while folks will do it because if they open a new account, they get a 'free gift.'

What the heck am I supposed to give away as a free gift?

What are the best and worst 'free gifts' you've gotten before? Help!

Screw gifts, cash is king. $100 at least. Or a promotional savings rate.

Document holder? There are a lot of people on the hunt for a job now that could use an updated one. Just avoid plastering the credit unions logo all over it if you go that route.

Other options: USB thumb drive, umbrella, duffel bag (half the people at my gym have a freebie from somewhere).

STD's I'd say are the worst free gift by far....


But I can only imagine because I never recieved any. I need to read the stipulations of the thread a little more clearly next time.
