I tried similar things to play with the Mechanical Turk and Google Ads - especially since they give coupons like candy. In the end, it is still glorified advertising, while IMHO the core purpose of a business is revenue! Advertising is very important, but securing paying clients does not depends nor requires advertising. IMHO again - advertising however is a tool for growing, but just one tool among many others This whole thing must have taken say half a day total - to say whether it was a good or a bad thing for them, you must consider the opportunity cost And IMHO again, diverting just one mind away from important problems (to fix side issues instead) is a bad idea. Focus matter the most.
