爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

The lack of opportunity for an education in Bok's own life led him to cast about for some plan whereby an education might be obtained without expense by any one who desired. He finally hit upon the simple plan of substituting free scholarships for the premiums then so frequently offered by periodicals for subscriptions secured. Free musical education at the leading conservatories was first offered to any girl who would secure a certain number of subscriptions to The Ladies' Home Journal, the complete offer being a year's free tuition, with free room, free board, free piano in her own room, and all travelling expenses paid. The plan was an immediate success: the solicitation of a subscription by a girl desirous of educating herself made an irresistible appeal.

白话

博克自己没机会受教育,所以一直琢磨:能不能让任何想读书的人不花钱就上学?他最后想出个简单办法:把杂志原来常用的订阅赠品,换成免费奖学金。先推出的是:任何女孩只要拉到一定数量的《妇女家庭杂志》订户,就能去顶尖音乐学院免费学一年,学费、住宿、伙食、房间里的钢琴、路费全包。这计划一炮而红,因为一个想读书的女孩上门推销订阅,让人很难拒绝。核心是:把营销赠品换成能改变命运的机会;做法是让受益者自己努力去换。
