Never underestimate the power of 'FREE'.

People order $19.95 worth of junk, just to get the free gift that it comes with sometimes..haha.

Putting product into the hands of people to try and share is much easier than asking them to pay first to try it. I feel that many might have the same reaction I had when I first tried it - "wow, I can't believe this works." And not only works, but works well.

I don't expect everyone to take one and lather up immediately, but some will try it, some will give it away, some might deny the free offer altogether. But I'll offer that the very same outcome is possible even with paid purchases, right? People order things and then never use them - leading to buyers remorse. Anyone that tried to sell something to someone that is still remorseful for a recent purchase - knows it's nearly impossible to reason with people who feel as if they've been 'sold'. People like to buy, but hate to be 'sold'. If they try the product samples and do not like them - they leave without the attached burn of being 'sold'. Typically those that dislike it will leave it right there - rather than telling everyone they bought something they do not like.

All my opinion so I could be wrong as usual..lol, but I always remember that the power of free is an incredible tool. I'd be shocked if this doesn't draw reasonable consumer interest.

Let the people try a product like TopiCanna and the product does the rest of the work. It works very fast, so I imagine that also aids in swift decision making of prospective consumers. I must say, I'm proud of the creative approach.

Creative marketing doesn't always equate to a successful reach to consumers, but this one I'd argue looks more promising than many tactics I've seen from this company and many others. Thinking outside the box a little and I appreciate that at all times, no matter who it is - failure or not.

Try something different and don't be scared to fail. That's almost a recipe for success on its own. Glad to see TAUG pushing forward and trying new things.

I mistakenly replied before reading pete's post. I assumed you were referring to the news today and that marketing, not the newsletter -- my apologies. Shame on me for not paying better attention. Took me this long to notice..lol

I can't argue the effectiveness of newsletters because I don't read them. I get probably 500 emails a week and have (no exaggeration) 15k emails in one inbox of my main email. It's probably the least effective medium to reach me, probably because every company from here to China is sending me newsletters.

I subscribed to the mailing list and still missed the newsletter..lol. I had every intention of reading whatever they had to offer, but it was lost in the sauce somewhere. Had no idea until I saw it here..smh ;-)

Sorry again for jumping to conclusions hornet. I totally misinterpreted the entire context of your post. Just put my dunce cap back and now I've gotta go get it out again.
