The two main ones I&#x27;ve heard are:<p>- Airbnb selling Obama&#x2F;McCain themed cereal.<p>- Getting people to sign up for your app by literally installing it for them&#x2F;walking through the sign up process.<p>EDIT:<p>Another, IMO, despite hearing that it is a bad idea (I disagree with the idea that this is a bad idea):<p>- Build it and they will come

The main one is contacting every prospective customer who didn&#x27;t convert (e.g. abandoned carts).
