1. "Oh!" is for originality- Give them that little "Oh-I Love It!" feeling when they receive your clever take away gift. 
2. Send the unexpected- Sending your trade show giveaway gift before your event to your top prospects and customers with a note inviting them to your booth will generate pre-show buzz. 
3. Make it fun- Go big decorating your trade show booth. Use bright colors and have fun with a theme. Include balloons, music, giveaways, even an entertainer would be an outstanding idea to set you apart from the crowd of other company booths.
4. Engage- Rev up your event team. Buzz creates more buzz! Be excited to present your giveaway to each person who visits your booth. You can engage your prospect or customer even further by having them answer one question to get the gift- (For example- What is your favorite TV show? Favorite place you visited?)
5. It's time for a selfie! –Have a contest asking each person to post a picture of the gift and of your booth (be sure to mention to “hashtag” the name of your company- #xyzcompany) to enter to win a larger gift by the last day of your trade show. Then pick a winner and announce it! This will also give you a great reason to follow up with them.

Yes, you can have fun with that marketing piece, trade show theme or even play up your company brand and get great exposure! They will be excited to share it and you will be excited knowing your marketing campaign was a success!
