A product per piece

A thing or a service delivered per purchase, bought for the story: toast with your logo, glitter in the mail. 1 tracked, 1 live, 0 dead. That is a 100 % survival rate so far. Best result: methaphone with $1,100.

How we decide: Does every buyer get an item or a service per purchase? Then it is a product. Known examples: logo burned into toast, Ship Your Enemies Glitter, Potato Parcel.

Why it works: The viral moment came a week after the campaign closed. Attention and revenue were never in the same week.
