Among online visitors, 90% completed a short survey and submitted their email address, requesting more info. One guy wrote a nice note explaining that he wasn't actually in marketing, but would like to receive the premium offered anyway. His FREE Thermodynamic Brainjuice Pen arrived a few days later.
