Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Leaflet display racks | | Dutch term or phrase: meeneem | Voor meetbare respons maakt u gebruik van XXXX [display rack]. Brief-kaarten of flyers (A5 formaat) worden in een aantrekkelijke display geplaatst naast het XXX XXX [main advertising display board]. Dit maakt het een effectief **meeneem** medium. XXXX is zeer geschikt als tastbare reminder of als antwoordkaart voor direct response.
I understand exactly what the author means, but what is it called in English? Does anyone know if there is there a specific term for this? So far, I have '....an effective medium for displaying free info. leaflets, etc.' Any help is very much appreciated. |

| Grading comment Thank you Marijke. I've decided to work 'take away' into the text and left out the 'free' bit. I had initially come up with this myself, but like Suzanne, I couldn't get the take away/out food connotation out of my head. Anyway, the term seems to be fairly common in relation to providing (free) leaflets/brochures to the public.

Information leaflets are available for students to take away. These are updated annually to ensure relevance and the tri-fold leaflet, explaining our service, is sent to DCA’s, the Student Union and the Library for display/take away."
