8 Ways To Increase The Perceived Value Of Your Freebies
Almost everyone is giving away a freebie so they can attractpeople to their web site. They are giving away free ezinesebooks services etc.
What’s happening to all this free stuff? It’s loosing it’sperceived value.
Every time you surf the internet or check your email you see atleast 20 to 50 freebies offers.
Don’t get me wrong freebies do increase traffic but not likethey did when the internet was new. The key is to increase theperceived value of your freebies so they will be more attractiveto your audience. How do you do this? Well here are eight ways:
1. You could tell them what the freebie is worth with a dollaramount. For example “Subscribe to my free ezine! A 199 value!
2. You could add other freebies to your freebie that willincrease the value. For example “Subscribe to my free ezineand get free access to our “subscribers only” private web site!
3. You could tell them the freebie is only available for alimited time. For example “Download our free ebook this freeoffer will only be available until May 30 2000.
4. You could tell them the freebie is only available to alimited number of people. For example “Our free software willonly be available for the next 100 people that download it.
5. You could give more details about the freebie. List thebenefits features what problems the freebie will solve etc.
6. You could describe your freebie to sound more attractive. Forexample instead of “free report” you could say “free neverreleased top secret document
7. You could list testimonials for your freebie. Most businessesdon’t give testimonials for their freebies. This would defiantlyincrease your freebies value.
8. You could tell people how many people have already receiveyour freebie. For example “15000 people have alreadysubscribed to my free ezine! Can they all be wrong?
