How Many People Like Freebies?
When Tylenol was getting ready to hit the shelves, the people (I don't know which company makes Tylenol, I'm Sorry) went around to all of the hospitals in the country offering their product at no cost. In fact, they offered Tylenol Pain Reliever at no cost for 20 years. Of course, the hospitals jumped all over this, because whatever they sold the pills at, whether it was 20 dollars or 1 dollar, it was ALL profit.
So when anyone goes to the doctor/hospital, what kind of pain reliever do they get? You got it, Tylenol. Now, with doctors telling people to take Tylenol for pain, what do you think people are going to buy from the stores when they run out of the Tylenol the hospital gave them? That's right, more Tylenol!
So the people at Tylenol made a golden decision by giving 20 years of their product away. It was quite a gamble, but as you can see, it paid for itself many, many times over.
This post is to see how many people like to give freebies away with their products, and to share a little tidbit of trivial knowledge. I hope you all like it, and I look forward to hearing what you think of freebies.
