It's useful - and engenders goodwill - to have things to give away at events; especially button badges and stickers (geeks love stickers, for their laptops). It's also useful to have a few, slightly more valuable items, which can be given away in limited quantities, as spot prizes.
I like the idea of badges/ stickers with phrases like "citation needed", etc. and perhaps also "{{fact}}".
Please note, though, that my suggestion was for badges with the QRpedia code for the article on QRpedia; not a generic code for the one on QR codes in general.

All,
Im looking into replenishing the chapters supplies of merchandise, but rather than the standard fare of key rings and stress balls, Im wondering if theres any interesting requests people have. Obviously, were constrained by cost, but if youve got any ideas, Id love to hear them. Some suggestions that have already been made
· Badges printed with the QR code for the Wikipedia page on QR
Codes
· Wikipedia logo-shaped cookie-cutters
· Merchandise printed with Wikipedia memes such as [citation needed], [edit], or maybe phrases like Wiki Loves Museums or I Write Wikipedia
· Business card-size cards with DYKs printed on them
Were looking for things thatll be easily understandable by the general public something that would make the average person want to edit. That said, feel free to make any suggestions, even if you think they might be unworkable they might be usable in future campaigns or as part of a
bigger
project.
All the best,
Richard
