Google's Christmas Present?

Getting close now

[NetPro]

When did Google send out the gifts last year?

I've already received a small booklet showing me how to optimize my campaigns, but I'm gutted if that was 'The Gift'. But at least I know I'm on their mailing list.

Anyone heard anything, or are we too early?

Oh. If you were wondering why Santa Claus didn't bring your Google travel-kit - I just found out why:

Not even seen a Christmas card. 6 figures.

[briggidere]

me neither, :-( and we spend 6 figures too.

seems to be a bit hit and miss.

I got the travel kit. This is my first gift from google except for a card a few years ago.

But I guess they forgot the laptop bag [googlestore.com...]

'bout a quarter mil on one of the accounts last year, (yes google guy) spite of how hard they are trying to get us to use only one master account, lol,,
got the same as you guys, USB light, wireless mouse with built in USB transmitter which pushes out at a flip of a button, USB 4 port extension, headphone with built in microphone and pause button, firewire? to USB for the mouse if needed, 128 USB mem stick, leather carry case, quite cool.

Last year got the glowing google music lamp and we had a new born,, it fit perfect in the crib putting baby to sleep.

keep up the cool gifts google and thanks.

Got a "Happy new year" card today (I'm in the office the first day today, so I don't know when it arrived). Lower 5-figure AdWords spend, Germany based.

Too bad they don't have anything (not even a card!) for the people with client centers who manage mid five figures per month, even though they're not spending the money themselves.

$2M in 2005 = nada :(

[Kings on steeds]

our biggest client will be spending £4 next year, and spent close to £1 this year, and he received nothing! how ever we spend £2 a day and we received a mouse, usb hub, mic and a usb light, lol

I'm surprised to see that such an obviously psychologically important thing is handled in such an erratic/chaotic way by Google.

It should be easy for Google to at least send every AdWords publisher a card! Maybe draw a line at a minimum spend of 100 US$/month - but the logistic challenge should be managable. But the perception of an AdWords publisher is that some kind of acknowledgement should be made.
