Freebie Marketing Case Study - Standard Oil In China
The case of Standard Oil in China is an interesting one, particularly from the perspective of freebie marketing. Standard Oil had a monopoly in the American market, and was looking to expand its business by branching out into the Chinese market. Standard Oil's owner, John D.

By doing so, they in essence created a market for their oil in China. The company most certainly lost money at the outset by giving lamps away for free or for less than they were worth, but they more than made up for the lost revenue once Chinese customers began purchasing oil for these lamps from Standard Oil. China went on to become Standard Oil's largest market in Asia.
