Many consumers do not adopt products with health and wellbeing benefits apparently far greater than their costs. A sales offer combining a free trial, time payments, and the option of returning the product can overcome barriers such as liquidity constraints and poor information about benefits and usability. We tested this sales offer (and alternatives) in an experiment with a fuel-efficient charcoal stove in urban Uganda and a fuel-efficient wood stove in rural Uganda. Consistent with the importance of these barriers, this offer dramatically increased uptake—in urban Kampala, from 4% to 46%, and in rural Mbarara, from 5% to 57%.
