Why You Should Give Away Free Gifts

Everywhere you go online you see people giving away free gifts. You may wonder why anyone would want to do this but there are actually many good reasons for this. 


So if you are looking to operate a business online then you may want to consider giving away free gifts as well, because the reasons to do so are many. 

Free Traffic 

Everybody likes to get something for free, and if you can convince them that they will benefit from your free gift, then they will click through and visit your website. 

You can write short articles describing your free gift and submit them to article directories or writing platforms. But be sure to place a link within the article back to your website where they can claim your free gift. You can even use Twitter to tweet about your free gift. 

The more places you write about it the more places you will get free traffic from. 

Build Your Credibility

Giving away a free gift is one of the fastest ways to build your credibility online, as this allows you to prove yourself to your costumers that you and your products are legitimate. Plus this gives them a peace of mind before they make a purchase. 

Once people see your free gift they will be more likely to buy other products because you have earned their trust. If people do not trust you they simply will not do business with you. 

Keep You Costumers

By giving away free gifts your customers are more likely to stick around and keep buying more of your products. 

Build Your List

Giving away a free gift is a great way to get someone to sign up for your email list. This way they got a free gift, and you have another individual whom you can market to.

What Kind Of Gifts Should You Give Away

The kind of gifts you choose to give away depends on your products which you are selling. If you are offering a course then and an ebook would be a suitable gift to give away. You could also give an ebook which describes your products in more detail. If you are selling food items you could always give a free recipe book.

Whatever you give away, try to give away something which you do not have to ship as this could get expensive over time. 

Writing your free ebook may take some time but the end results will be well worth it because your business will soar as a result.
