Also, they say live and learn...well I've learned. On our site we give away a free product every week, it's typically a less expensive product we offer as a little extra treat for people who go to the site with the intention of actually buying stuff.
Well, a little while back my partner was in the X-mas spirit and decided to make the free product the Tantus ripple, which retails for about $33. Candidly, I was blown away by the amount of people that came to the site and only came for the free ripple. In fact, so many people came to the site to get the ripple, that our supplier ran out! Of all the people who came to the site for the ripple, only ONE actually bought anything additional. So, we while this may sound like I'm bitching and we did take a bit of a hit, in hindsight two good things came out of it. 1) I learned a valuable lesson on human behavior that has helped us with marketing and such and 2) In the spirit of Christmas I do feel good, a bit like Santa in fact, knowing that tons of people got a special "Present" from me.
So, if the two of you who follow me ;) [THANK YOU!!!] and the couple dozen who read this could take that spirit of giving and pay it forward, I think that would be great. Heck, you could also go to the site, buy a gift for that special someone, and add the freebie to your cart for yourself! :)
Happy Holidays!

I would love to see N&D offer some type of home party opportunity to it's affiliates :) That would be so fun, especially since most home party companies sell jelly and whatnot.
