Most of us are wary about Free Gifts & Gift Cards that are being offered everywhere on the internet. Let us address this matter.
We may have stumbled across complains that participants are not receiving their promised gifts. Some did received but only after spending an amount for certain goods and services. The total expenses could cost more than the promised value in Free Gifts or Gift Cards. It may also cost the same or even very much less.
Other complaints are about the number of processes that participants have to go through. Every participant may have to complete 13 options before they get to see their gifts. In the process, a lot of personal info have already been given out.
To some extend, many internet users regard Free Gifts & Gift Cards offers as scams. Such generalization is quite common. No matter how unfair generalization is, people do it on a lot of things in life without the help of facts and figures.
Business communities look at it from a different angle. To them, it is not fair for anyone wanting something but not willing to give something in return. The nature of some humans is wanting everything for free. In business, it doesn't work that way.
FREE promotions are just ways of marketing. There is the fine print where internet users must read and be aware of. The fine prints will tell us that, we will need to do a couple of things before getting FREE rewards.

A typical internet marketing program may involve scores of established brand names and budding ones. Marketing networks will then recruit web site owners to publish banners, send emails or advertise at popular search engines and social media.
It is very common for most marketing campaigns to use baits in enticing their target audience. This happens everywhere in the world in various degrees. Its the nature of marketing. It is up to us to decide on how truthful a campaign is. We decide on how we want to deal with it - either accept the offer or ignore it.
There are offers of all natures. Some are blatant deception where users are not only misled, but also have little recourse. And there are other offers that are fantastic, where participants are extremely happy with the rewards.
In most of the favorable Free Offers, participants may have to spend a total amount between $50 to $100 on shipping fees and trial subscriptions. Examples are personal hygiene items, diet products as well as subscriptions for DVD rentals and legitimate music downloads. The rewards participants received in return may vary from $250 to $1,000 of value.
Free Offers programs on the internet have to be profitable for marketing networks to survive. Despite the name FREE OFFERS, they are in fact not really free. In return, participants will be given rewards that are gratifying and pleasing. This is a fair exchange.
