With baseball comes marketing and promotions. Some teams do it well, some don't do it well at all, and there are some who don't even try. While for the most part the minors do the best promotions, there are some good ones in the majors. Historically in my opinion, the Mets tend to walk the line with average promotions. For April, I believe the Mets are slightly above average. They will have 4 promotional item giveaways:
1. 4/5 Opening Day: This is by far the best promotion of the bunch, and probably why the Mets will have a slightly above average month in terms of giveaways. It's a model of the homerun Apple, which is awesome (and already on ebay):

4/9 : The dullest giveaway of them all, and just about every team does it. The Magnetic Calendar giveaway. Dull Dull Dull. However, you can create a fridge wallpaper with them if you collect enough of them from multiple teams for many years.
4/10: Mets Scarf! You can wear for winter protection or like Futbol Soccer Fans.
4/23: Ski Cap. Looks pretty good. I picked one of these up at a late April Orioles game, if the Mets make them at the same quality the Orioles, did, this should be a pretty solid pick up.
