I'm pretty sure he will throw this in for previous buyers.

Thanks

Yeah this is standard for these Gurus to do this during a product launch. It is a great strategy for a launch, a few days into the sequence. They will throw it in for everyone that has purchased already. At least that is what they have done in the past. You can bet on it.

Who else has done this? I honestly can't think of another 'guru' that offered a bonus after the initial offer?

I don't know. Is it unfair that the grocery store has a sale today but you paid more three days ago?

I think there is a big difference between purchasing a $1,995 course compared to purchasing some fruit and veg at the grocery store

Not sure if you know this or not, but many grocery stores offer a price adjustment if you bring in your receipt within X days. :p

Same with lots of retailers. In fact, I just bought a bunch of clothes at Old Navy and 2 days later they had a huge 50% off sale. I went back in and they gave me back the difference.... (which I just ended up spending on more clothes... haha).

But the grocery store isn't selling me fruit I can't eat until May 17th

Still, we all know his previous buyers will get it so no harm no foul imo.

Hi Rami (steitieh),

Well, I have a huge respect for John Reese, But the only image a bribe reflects to current buyers is: Less people have interest in the product they've paid 2 grands for than anticipated! And the seller is pushing even harder to sell more as usually those bribes should be considered "Backup strategies"

I agree with you, but would add that they have obviously deciphered that any buyer's remorse caused in this manner is outweighed by the benefits of higher overall sales, and as mentioned the extra unexpected freebie placates their remorse as well.

Thanks

Of COURSE its a GREAT launch strategy...

think about this -

Those that already bought will be given it too 100%, they love it because they now get more than they paid for ( Over delivered )

Those that did not yet commit to buy now have the 'bribe' to take action

It's win - win - win

Dean

Thanks

This is standard stuff.

There's always bonuses offered with launches.

Is it fair?

Yeah, why not?

The early buyers will obviously get the bonus too...it's common sense. John Reese is not an idiot.

The method of offering a bonus (or even a new payment option) a little bit after the shopping cart opens is what's known as the "Walker W"...guess who it's named after.

Initial sales are going great...but after the first barrage of emails, sales die down a bit. So, to jump start sales again, the product owner dangles a carrot in front of prospects which results in a spike.

After sales die down again and the launch is nearing its close, John will announce one last cool shiny object and that will cause the final spike in the "W". Then he'll close the shopping cart...and possibly do a short re-opening of the shopping cart a few days later.

Thanks

As a tactic? In two years, nobody will care.

He will sell more 'widgets' at the bribe price and make more money.

The other people will get the other stuff.

The additional sales will probably buy a lot of fruit at the grocery stores, even in Japan regardless of where our spouses shop.

I don't know about you, but I am taking notes. I may not ever use it but it is an interesting tactic.
