That was very good marketing and a clever persuasion technique on your daughter's part. Maybe it's something that's in her genes :o) I too have a daughter (seven years old) and manage to hold firm on many things. But it's amazing to see her work her charm offensive on her grandparents (who were very strict parents) time and time again, with stunning results!

I think that you have not only demonstrated the power of the free trial but also the importance of knowing your customer. I can't imagine that your daughter would have been so successful at selling you on a baby elephant, free trial or not. What a great post John!

And yes you are right, the product at $1 trial will have increased conversions for sure. However, I know one company that did this, and even though they have great product, they ended up pulling it at the normal rate, because the people who did buy it, and wanted it, really could not afford it.

I believe that free or $1 trials with a great product behind will absolutely boost sales especially involving a risk offer. Look at GM's new sales offer, if you are not satisfied with the new GM vehicle purchase you can return it within 60 days... Now thats a offer that has never been seen before. Thanks Great story.

"If you have a great product". How many marketers think that they can make a great product? There are handful of marketers like Jason who over delivers....and people do feel that oh! a product from Jason, Anik or Ben has to be good. I think the mrale can't be universally accepted.

I've been visiting the blog for a few weeks but never had the "guts" to post any comments. But with your latest blog post I find the situation very similar to what happened to me. Well, actually what happened to my girlfriend because I was the "mastermind" behind the plan :) But for almost a year and a half now Pufi (the cat which is sitting on my feet right now and taking a nap) has been part of our life, making us very happy every day. All people should have a pet because they have this wonderful gift of changing our mood. First of all, great post!
