Have you ever got free gift from any commercial dealer or lucky draw or even credit card?Is free gift a common marketing strategy now? Yes, it certainly is. And, you can easily see people go blindly for the promoted item, be it credit card or food, just for the free gift. But i guess no one actually assess the quality of the free gift, to whether they are worth the price and effort.
Personally, i have not believe in free gift anymore.
1) The free "i digital handy cam" that my dad got from one of the credit card company only work for one week before it has broken down. And, apparently none of the camera shop that we go can fix it. So, the 1st free gift is down and dead, lying in one of our cabinets.
2)Many so called "free gift" become garbage when it comes to house cleaning before Chinese New Year.
3)I bought a digital camera recently and the Miss Boss said she would give me this mini tripod as a gift. One of the leg of the tripod just broke when i first use it.
I cannot tell whether these are coincident cases that happened to me Only or there are many other people who had similar experience. Please, do not give me free gift anymore, be practical, give me discount or cash back. :/
