Haha Yeah. My wife is due within the month so any money I had going towards a new ball has been hijacked by her. Thats why I play all the FB games with a few sites that do give aways.

My favorite part was when Ball99999 won a ball then a little later he went nuts or something and got banned.

But yeah, if the purpose of giving the balls away on fb is to drive traffic to bowlingball.com or at least to this forum and THEN bowlingball.com, who knows if it's working.

I would GUESS that giving the balls away on fb lets them target a certain demographic. You can see who you are giving the ball away to and figure out if they fit the profile of a typical buyer at bowlingball.com

of course I'm totally guessing at all of this.

I assume they are trying to target people who have a presence online. So it makes sense to go after them in many ways. (Social Media, Forum, At the website itself) People comfortable with being online are the ones who will purchase equipent online.


EDIT: Plus every company uses free product to promote itself. No surprise that certain equipment manufacturers do this and no surprise a retail website does as well.

I have no problem with them utilizing FB. My problem is the utter neglect that borders on contempt shown to this forum.

HEY BOWLINGBALL.COM, IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS FORUM, GIVE IT TO ME AND I WILL ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF IT!!

Some of us are tired of being the red-headed step-child of bowlingball.com
