I see the word "free" attraction of all. read a joke of ball pen making company was running at a loss. It started making combs too, that too was in a loss. then some brilliant nut gave free advice. "why don't you double the price of pens and offer comb free with the pen.

and sales skyrocketed from day one.

this quote of touched me today.

Giving is not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life. -Oprah  

Throw in views on giving friends.

In 1960s, Colgate had reached a stage where their sales was not going up as they were already at the peak and then they came up with an idea. They increased the circumference of the opening of the tube by .25mm and guess what? Their revenue shot up by around 25%

Things are never free! Just that they come with invisible price tags ;)

Wanted to say that I liked this line very much:  It's being able to touch somebody's life. Smile

Reading the last line, I thought that you were giving friends for free! Surprised

I remeber one group planning expedition to antarctica, approached a wealthy man for donation on ref. Of a reputed politician. Businessman agreed for entire funding only if they agreed to take the bloody politician with them and leave him there on return.---,

If instead of Antartica it was a beach, you could have taken Kyra with you and also written about it to win a Kindle from Lakme.

but I have no plans to go to antarctica in near term. I think indie team should find a sponsor to the event, and on pretext of a swiss tour, switch them in to antarctica tour.

He he! This free-marketing is all over the internet.

You go through 10 pages which says that the product is FREE (almost invisible asterisk attached on top of E) and then at the 11th page you find out that the product needs a one-time-payment of only a few bucks.

They'll make you feel cheap about yourself if you don't fall for it. :D

Maybe a different take on the discussion here, but what I feel personally is giving is difficult. When you think of parting with your favorite posessions, it automatically invokes a strong of belonging. Something like, "Oh, this has been one of my favorites!!" Lately I was planning to replace my 2 yr old laptop with a new one. And, there I was stuck weighing the options of selling it off at a decent price (and getting some money off the new one) and giving it away to maybe somebody who needs one but cannot afford it. :-). Strange emotions huh!! I had used it for a couple of yrs. Giving is important, and so is taking :-)

Buy one get 3 free was vision express advt, but in reality, they give two coupons of Rs 750 each which can be redeemed on purchase.  Eventually one ends up paying more than what one has bargained for, but the feeling is that one got a gr8 bargainTongue out
