My first experiment with offering a physical product GFRF is now live. I haven’t offered physical products GFRF previously due to the fixed cost of the products. If a lot of people bought the products at or below what it cost me to supply them… well I would quickly run into financial trouble. Its a bridge I wanted to cross at some point though, so today I have taken that step.
The product is an ‘Acupuncture Massage Ring’ and has been really popular in the past when I have sold them for $8.95 each. It will be really interesting to see how people respond to paying what the want for them. I figure now is a good time to get the product online as Christmas is coming and people will be looking for gifts soon.
I am not entirely sure how I will promote the offer, probably just on facebook and via my websites, but it is now up on a new page of the GFRF website – the ‘Shop’. If this is successful I will look to adding additional products in the future. Also if anyone else has products they would like to offer GFRF, maybe I will be able to include them on the Shop page as well, or at least link to your own website with the offer. The offer must be truly GFRF though with no strings attached, not something that is just an intro to try and get someone to buy something else at a fixed price.
Anyway, at some point in the future I will report back on how this experiment with GFRF physical goods goes.
