I think it's pretty effective to just use Bitcoin around your friends without pushing it in their faces. They will notice the benefits eventually, like the ease of use and low fees.
When I'm ordering pizza with some friends for example, I pay using Bitcoin and my friends notice that I don't have to pay the 1 euro transaction fee that they have to pay (Using online banking/CC).
Some of them use Bitcoin exclusively to order pizza now.

What people should do make a poster in the street about bitcoin or something that people will see it everyday.
Maybe hire some people to make a advertisement about bitcoin in the television or in the internet like YouTube.

I think the best way that Bitcoin can be spread is by doing public demonstrations, and giving free BTC small amounts around 0.02 to those who take an interest.
The only people who could do this is the ones who brought when the price was incredibly cheap and are now BTC rich, this will be a great way to give back to the community and intern help raise BTC popularity and usage and of course making it widespread.

How do you feel we as a community should raise bitcoin awareness and how are you helping ?

You are talking only to tell something good because any of your proposals, according to me, cannot be verified in reality. If someone which is rich will begin to spread such amounts of bitcoin to everyone new with it soon will become he himself to ask the others that amount. On the other hand, no one who own normal amounts of it cannot do such thing. The price of bitcoin is high without having reason to be so. Who know how it will be its price when will have reason to go higher (for example the halving). Having such things in mind no one can give as a gift not that amount but even much few. Anyhow I don't want to ruin the good atmosphere tha can be created with this post. So I am not going ahead with my thoughts.

Just help people near you understand what is bitcoin about .
If you give them bitcoins free and they dont know this will be waste of your money because they will throw it because they dont know the value of it.
And if you give to a person who knows bitcoin well he will use it silently and he will not tell anyone about it and it will not help bitcoins spread in the world.
Best way is make a social conference or debate about bitcoins in the society
Giving free BTC wouldn't be that ideal but giving BTC for the effort done in anyway would be the better picture in helping spreading Bitcoin right away. I started in someway and the effect that I've seen in the past week from the people around me is their really eager to understand how the system works and how great it is into easing money transfers while online.
Public awareness maybe is the key, I'm planning to come up of a sticker that I can put in my car like "eat, sleep, Bitcoin" something like that or a a bumper sticker. A gift can be a good idea like a physical coin loaded with a few Satoshis that will allow them to buy something online that accepts Bitcoin.
0.02 btc is a bit much to just give away. Maybe 10.000 satoshi would be okay if people were up to it and then they could start doing faucets and see where it goes from there. Faucets are easy to do and you may earn not that much but it could give people somewhat of an understanding how bitcoins work.

thats great,i agree with that,i also think about spread bitcoin to all my people,all my town..and i think the best way that bitcoin can be spread is not only doing public demonstration,but before that we must know what the main problem that happen on that place,the place who will be demostrate to spread bitcoin,not all people will aware about bitcoin,so we must know who and where the right place.

If you want to spread Bitcoin effectively, find a way to integrate it with Herpes. That shit spreads like wildfire.
There are already people spreading the word about bitcoin it just don't get much attention though. Headline like "Earn 2-10K through bitcoin" might just caught the eyes of newcomers especially on the webmasters forum.
Topics like these is going to make regular people read - maybe on the feed of large magazine sites, maybe even on porn sites

Good, people will think they got free, spend/sell it & forget it 
It only works if you explain & give bitcoin to those who you really know well.
It's better if big companies accept bitcoin & give discount to anyone who pay with bitcoin, so people will try to buy bitcoin to get discount. Just make sure give explanation about & how to use bitcoin.

We were seeing large companies give discounts to people using Bitcoin not long ago; newegg was giving 5% discounts, if I remember correctly, Dell was giving a similar number in discounts, and a few bullion dealers I saw were also offering 1% discounts.It only works if you explain & give bitcoin to those who you really know well.

It has happened in the past, but I'm not sure if its had any impact.
Telling your friends and family is definitely not a way to spread Bitcoin effectively. Advertising is a decent way, but other than that, there is really no good way to spread the word of Bitcoin.
First of all it is too much to give away for free to anyone, with current price of bitcoin it would come to $4-$5 and secondly even if someone decided to do it, there is no way to differentiate between bitcoin newbies and veterans on-line and because of that it will get severely abused.
Also, anyone who is interested in bitcoin will ultimately find some giveaways on either this forum, social media sites such as twitter/fb/reddit, if they really have interest in Bitcoin.
Most important thing is education, if you really want to spread the word out, teach people around you about Bitcoin, make them understand the concept. If you bring in people by luring them with a giveaway, they won't stay in for long, they'll just look at it as easy money and will most probably leave when they see no other easy way of getting it.

It is good that we may provide a platform where bitcoin will be able to grow. people need to start seeing the importance of the bitcoin and its trading. Giving back to the community is a very good thing, However. we need not to lock this whole idea to the persons who are super rich only. If you know that bitcoin has changed your life more so in a positive way, then you need to be part of this great program. Let as spread bitcoin to the ends of the earth.
Giving small amounts away was a great idea a few years ago. i am unconvinced now tho as to how effective it is, most people i know would just forget about it if you gave it to them. as has been said i think using in those stores who currently accept it and convincing others to do the same is the way forward.
there is only one effective way, big and well known merchants should adopt bitcoin previously regulated for that country, and add a discount if you buy in bitcoin
this will certainly encourage more the usage of bitcoin and increase vastly its demand, i think the killer appalication is the discount that some merchant may offer, in the case of bitcoin

Ripple had giveaways here back when they were allowed. Early on there was a giant ripple giveaway, and it must have encouraged some of the people who got coins to get involved and buy more. Whatever your view on its centralization there are people who invested in it for years. Not everyone given free coins dumps, some buy more coins.
Most people will still dump and even worse, some people will find a way to abuse the system and start claiming tons of them.
If the payout is quite high, it is even worth the effort for people to create fake acounts and such. We should not help them in acquiring a stash of coins in this way.

Giving away 0.02 is too much for anyone to giveaway the most I will likely give to people on normal circumstances is 0.001-0.005
