So this is exactly what you do to kick-start people into spending.
It doesn't realistically cost them anything as the product isn't physical so there's no supply issue. As such you give people a few bucks ..they feel good and have a look through the online store. Some ppl get something cheap.. most will use that 10 , add 20 or 30,40,50 of their own and buy something.

It's clever marketing and in surprised they don't do more of it.
