Artificial scarcity

This item from Carrie’s blog reminds me of a trick I used to do when giving seminars: I’d give out approximately 2/3 as many handouts as there were people in the audience. That way they’d have to share the handouts, and they’d value them more. When I would give enough handouts for everybody, people would just put them in their notebook and not bother looking at them.
