Free Gift Inside!! by Stephen Brown
Free Gift Inside! argues that corporations should stop chasing customers and get customers to chase them instead. This revolutionary idea is based on the fact that titillating, teasing, and tormenting customers is a better way to drive them to a product than the already ubiquitous customer--oriented marketing.
