Reciprocity
a marketing tool where you give people something of value for free, they reciprocate by purchasing your product or service.
Ex. "get a free camera when you subscribe to our magazine for two years."
No credit card requierd
"one month of free Internet service"
." If the Internet service performs well, the prospective customer feels an obligation to sign up.
Scarcity
There is a limited amount of the item available. After those are gone, the item will not be available. "urgency" implies Scarcity. For example, "this offer will be honored only for a limited time".
Commitment
A prospective customer makes that first commitment towards purchasing the product by requesting the free information. The free information they receive is designed to entice them to take the next step.

I have been tricked. The word "free" is a mighty powerful word in the English lexicon. Now, I know the definition of the word "free" is not to be taken literally in regards to marketing.
