If you were to provide these at trade shows they could work very well as promotional items. Attendees are likely to use them again as it is fun, and they get passed onto their children to play with, hence your logo will get more exposure. If you are attending a conference with products that are for use in the dark, then it is ideal for people walking around to use them, as they will draw attention.
