Press Release Body: Absofree.com the web's number one Free Product site returns to help consumers through the tough 2008 Holiday Season. Absofree.com the number one Free Product Site on the web announced its return today after a short time away for re-tooling and new interface. Del Weston of EFC, the marketing company behind the site said, ‘When the owners originally launched the site, there was no way to anticipate the incredible growth and success of the program.” The site launched and was an instant success with consumers who led the site to over one million unique hits in less than three months of operations. The site managers shipped nearly ten thousand free orders in their first two quarters and it was then that the trouble began when servers simply couldn’t handle the traffic and the site began to crash as many as thirty times per day. Weston said, “The original hosts had no way of knowing the kind of volume of traffic the site would generate and after a very short period of time their inability to regulate the needed space became apparent. The new hosts have dedicated servers, back up space and more to handle any traffic needs. They’ve also incorporated incredible changes to the site that make it easy for people to send gifts to family, friends or even to themselves for free. They only pay the shipping and handling fees for each product they order.” Weston went on to say, ‘Its pretty incredible that people can send gifts without going to the mall, the post office, or even having to wrap the products; everything is done for them.” In a year when high gas prices, a recession, high oil prices and incredible un-employment rates have all hit at the same time, consumers need a break and Absofree.com gives it to them. With an incredible selection of products for men, women and kids; it’s a easy choice to make. In addition to sending out free products, Absofree.com plans to adopt new charity sites every quarter to advertise to its customers. Project Coordinator Al Reyes said, ‘We added the charity element because we really want to give back to our communities and to let people know that it isn’t always about profit. You can take a good business model, make a profit and still be responsible. That is what we are trying to do.
