Not many of us do have $20,000 to spend on advertising and this will only work with certain business models. For example as an affiliate an expensive campaign like this would probably never pay for itself.

But their business model is free entry and continuity payments and I bet it pays for itself in no time.

If you are doing affiliate marketing you should try to giveaway something related to the niche you are marketing too.

I must confess, its the first time i have heard of moonfruit at all.

Thats a very good strategy, i will try this trick as well, though i dont have USD 20000 to spend, but I try some to give some of the useful products on offer.

Now for i should hurry and try and win myself a Macbook Pro

This “strategy” is really not much different to the one supermarkets use offering 2 for price of 1 or big discounts on certain lines to get customers into the shop.

Some will arrive just for the promotion, some will buy more while they are there, and others will remember the business and return later because if they offer that kind of deal they must be good.

I agree these are not targeted but as Randy highlights – it’s all a numbers game. Cheap word of mouth advertising and a small percentage take up will easily cover costs.

Thanks for sharing this Randy.

I too would love to see a case study of this about 3 months from now to see how it impacted their sales.

I do have to say that they are missing the bus on actually getting the people to their sign up page. They should be tweeting about the service they provide.

Hi Ami,

Thanks for the comment. Normally I would agree with your but Moonfruit’s business model is a free giveaway with an upsell. If 10% of those 30,000+ try the service and 10% that try upgrade (overall 1% conversion) they will have 300 new paying customers.

Now I don’t know if those stats are what they will get, only they know that but it a viable marketing strategy much in the same way that Micro Continuity just presented.

It looks like an interesting way to gain followers, but like Ami am not sure about the viability of this in the longer term. This would make a good case study!
