Howdy, from Arizona!
Getting the word out to the local community about the user group is
important - it's surprising how many don't there IS one. We've had very good
response to promotional items at TMUG. Three or four years ago I designed a
logo for us and we've used it generously to promote us here in Tucson - all
the usual places such as the newsletter, handouts, our website, etc but also
in some unusual ways. Link:

Attached is a photo of a TMUG pen we gave away and encouraged our members to
pass them along wherever possible. One of our members is a Mac tutor and
gives one to each client. Also in the photo is a TMUG mug that we sell for
cost (about $5) and also include one in each raffle. In addition we have a
local promotional item company embroider our logo on wearables. We have had
great luck with nice beige ball caps embroidered with our logo - again we
sell them at cost and include one in each raffle. For $20, we sell either a
white polo shirt or a nice denim shirt with the logo on the pocket - we've
sold nearly 50 of those - we have them embroidered to order in the sizes
people want. As an incentive to be seen wearing the items, we give a free
raffle ticket to anyone attending a meeting wearing an article of clothing
with the TMUG logo. Works like a charm.
On our website, we published an 8-1/2 x 11 page (PDF) that has several of
the logos is various sizes. It has the artwork reversed so that enterprising
members can print iron-on stencils. Several members have made their own
T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.
