No. It looks like a pyramid scheme of some kind, so I didn't even bother finishing reading the page. Sorry.

- gghootch 14y agoWould you care to elaborate? Why does this look like a pyramid scheme to you? The same way that 'FB is a ponzi scheme'?
- huhtenberg 14y agoThat was my first impression from skimming the page. Now that I have looked at it again, it's obviously not what it seemed to be. The pattern of "Get one, give back 3, receive something back" is the pyramid/Ponzi pattern. Basically your copy needs to change, it's heavy. Drop the numbered list, get to the point faster and more succulently. Also, somewhat related. Have you seen this - http://www.iwearyourshirt.com http://www.iwearyourshirt.com ?
- gghootch 14y agoAh yes, the get one, give back 3, receive one back does indeed look a lot like a pyramid scheme at first glance. Copy definitely needs work. I'll be trying some different things in the future. Thanks for the tip :) Hadn't heard of iwearyourshirt, very interesting proposition. Thanks again!
- altrego99 14y agoDoesn't seem pyramid scheme if they go by 'order one free t-shirt' as the first step, with no strings attached. But that sounds like loss making venture to me - to give away the first free t-shirts to anyone who would order. That said, I doubt if I would do this as collection of garments does not excite me. But if this means free t-shirt, I definitely know some who will do this.
