Free things never look more appealing than in times of economic chaos, so it’s no surprise that savvy marketers are busting out the ‘free’ tactic around the world.
From free vacations (free airplane tickets and cruises) to pay-what-you-want restaurants (which could, technically, be nothing), to free music, this cluster explores some of the most fascinating probonovations featured on Trend Hunter. Whether you’re into free tattoos, pro bono Botox or boob jobs, or gratis education, free cars or entire homes, this cluster has something for everyone.
