People often say that the only reason Samsung is as big as they are today is because they spend a small country’s healthcare budget on marketing. That’s a fine assumption to make, but what exactly is “marketing” when you stop and think about it? It’s not just the posters you see around town, nor is it limited to the commercials you see on television. Marketing also encompasses activities such as bundling and commissions for retail store employees.
Focusing on the bundling, last week I covered the insane amount of free stuff that Samsung preloads on their new flagship tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. Samsung partnered with 10 different companies to stick $600 worth of digital goods on that thing.
Today, courtesy of AndroidPolice is news of another offer, this time for Galaxy Note 3 owners. If you live in the United States and bought a Note 3 from a local operator, simply go to this website, fill out the proper form, and within a few minutes you’ll receive an email saying you’ve been awarded $50 of Google Play Store credit. Use it on games, apps, movies, magazines, it doesn’t matter, it’s yours.
The offer will expire on January 6th, which should be plenty of time for those who have just purchased a Note 3 or those hoping to get one from Santa Claus this year. Speaking about Christmas, Google usually has crazy Play Store sales during the holidays, so if you combine those with this $50 coupon, then you’re going to make out like a bandit.
