Logo-ed Products

I was told of a free gift being given by a major apparel company. The gift is a large bag but it is covered by the logo of this company. Obviously, I am not going to link to the company or post a picture of the bag here.

I remember a long time ago when I was still in school and our teacher asked us, why do we love to get these "free gifts" and give free advertisement to these companies?

Come to think of it, her logic is sound. Why are we do dumb to give them free advertisement just by USING their "free" products? Wouldn't it be more logical if we were PAID to carry such a bag or wear clothes that are tagged with their label or embossed with their logo?

Why are we so proud to carry the branded bag when we are actually giving free advertisement to companies that could well afford advertisements in all forms of media? Just think about it!

By the way, I am currently exploring home based business opportunities. I can't depend on my job alone, or my lingerie business alone. Neither can I depend on blogging anymore. The other day, I may have won $100 in a sweepstakes but that was pure luck and certainly I cannot hope Lady Luck to strike me time and again!

Hope I can find something that could generate me revenue every month.
