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.
