Gecko had just bought an entire shipment of various promotional products. Before the purchase he asked some of his fellow entrepreneurs their thoughts on how he should brand the items.

It seemed almost dumb not to put his logo on each and every item. It was a huge lost opportunity to send out random items without his logo on them.
