2 Lessons I Learned from a Recent Marketing Promotion

Many thanks for those who participated in my Fourth of July giveaway. It makes my heart sing to help you get your brilliance out there.

I also learn so much from the experience. Two big aha’s:

1. Most of the orders came after the heads-up email that the promotion ends in 48 hours. Folks like to be reminded of deadlines.
2. Folks are basically honest and respectful of the rules. Of almost 100 orders, only three people (including a communications expert focused on conflict reduction) took advantage of the offer by using fake names and/or different emails to get more than one product. (The record holder was a music teacher turned wellness coach who used three different names and emails. Dang.) Amazing what people will do to scam a free offer.
