Hi brian,
Its true that freebies and giveaways help increase your sales but not for a long period. Eventually its your brand and product functionality and quality that makes for you a loyal customer base and market equity. remember freebies for a long period also dilutes your brand image as it makes consumer suspicious.These only help in getting the customer for the first time to your self,but to make it for the second time its your product quality. Always study your market and find out the best period to give away the freebies so that you can attract the maximum customers to use your product.Its best ROI when these customers are the first timers.

YES. The world revolves on "give" and "take", therefore if people think they can get more, they'll be that much more interested in the offered product.

Just like a fisherman sells hooks to fish, by giving away worms.

Yes. It gives people the chance to try products they wouldn't normally use.

Yes it's the best strategy, you want that "free" gadget as you feel you are lucky as buying that gadget was not an option... We love to fool ourselves!

I'd say so, they get the product out there quickly and people begin talking about it more.

Yes. If you offer an incentive, people are more likely to return.
