Freebies Are Not As Bad As They Used To Be
Back in the days, freebies were usually just old, small samples, almost expired, discardable, low-quality versions of products and merchandise. The only good thing about them is that they were free. Somehow, in the course of time, businesses have evolved and adapted more intelligent marketing and promotional gigs while consumers have become more discriminating and far more intelligent in their purchasing habits. Getting a substandard free product is not going to fool consumers anymore into thinking that paying for it will get them better quality all the time. This is not how it works today. Many good quality products are being offered for free, and yet, despite that, businesses have not suffered; in fact, most claim to have increased in sales and profits since.
On that note, a free WordPress theme is not at all a mediocre version of its paid themes. The free WordPress themes available on the internet are state of the art designs offering some of the best themes with advanced graphical interface programs, community friendly templates, and innovative widgets and plug-ins. Generally, free WordPress themes come with the same set of features with a few variations depending on the category of its design.
