How It Works – Why Free Gifts Are Possible

A few people out there do not believe that this works but thousands of people have proved that it does. Millions of pounds worth of goods have been shipped out!

The Free Gift Schemes are Based On Viral Marketing

You’ll have heard the word viral marketing before. It’s come into its own in the 21st century. These free gift websites are affiliated with some of the largest and widely known businesses of today’s world. Big names include Blockbuster, LOVEFiLM, AA, HSBC, BT, Coral and even Jackpotjoy.

I bet you’ve seen an advert for many of these companies on TV. It would be hard not to have seen one! Advertising on TV is costly and often ineffective. With companies having to spend upwards of £1,000,000 to get their brand name in the heads of the consumer, they have resorted to other forms of marketing.

This marketing is known as affiliate marketing.

The companies are paying per sign up so they know how many new customers they are receiving. For each customer that registers on the free gift website and completes one of the offers, the free gift website receives commission. The free gift website cooperates with the advertisers through affiliate networks such as Affiliate Future, Tradedoubler and Buy.at.

The commission pays for your free gift.

You sign up for a 14 day free trial with LOVEFiLM. This will get the free gift site a certain amount of commission, for example £20, all because you’ve become a new customer with LOVEFiLM.

You then recommend the site to three friends who also become new customers with LOVEFiLM.

The site has got LOVEFiLM four (including yourself) new customers and in return have been paid commission of £20×4 = £80.

This £80 is enough for them to buy and send you a free iPod Shuffle which RRPs for much less than £80.

The site may only make a small profit on each person, but everyone is happy. This is a sustainable business for everyone involved.
