Good reasons too, unless the pictures on it were REALLY good.

One really good promotional item I've found for piano technicians are the 
PTG bookmarks. There is nearly always music on the piano that has to be 
moved and if you slip a bookmark into them you won't lose their place. If 
you tune for teachers give them a bunch so they can slip them into their 
student's music too.

Polishing/dusting cloths are another good idea and you can even make them 
yourself if you have access to a serger. Use your ink-jet printer to print 
your logo or your name and address on T-shirt transfer material and iron 
them onto the cloths.
