small but mighty
I always tack on the $5 newsletter to my $5 promo, so with fees I'm spending $12.55 and I always get good results from this promo. I average 2 cents a sale when I promote a .99 title with them.

Affordable and reliable
It's only $5. You don't need to reserve a promo weeks ahead of time and it will move a ton of free books.

Affordable and good
You can't beat the price. This is an effective promotion company that somehow manages to charge only $5. You're not going to see the same sort of sales as some of your more expensive alternatives, but it could perform better than some of the lower tiers. If you run a promo with them, I advise you pay the extra $5 for their newsletter promotion ($5 alone will only put your book on their DigitalBooksSpot website).

Eh
I mean, for the small cost, it can be worth using them, but with no proof to show where they’re actually promoting your book, and no sign of any extra activity, I can’t say that this is a good one.

Great for $5!
I recently used BK in a promo stack, so I can't say how effective they were with sales. Their home page with book deals looks good, and they have a fast turnaround time, so they're a good choice for last-minute stacking. For $5, I'll keep trying them.

Inexpensive but Unclear on Results
It's an inexpensive service to try. I first learned about it because of Mark Dawson's Self Publishing Course. The challenge is they have to schedule the special out which can cause problems if you are scheduling a Kindle Count Down deal. Also, the distribution is small and I while inexpensive I did not see significant results from this option.

Not Great but Super Cheap
For only $5, I suppose it's worth it. But don't expect even remotely decent results. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for, but again, you can't really go wrong with $5. If there's room in your budget left over, then use them. But otherwise, don't sweat keeping them off your list. And definitely don't let the $5 influence your budget.

Not as good as it once was
I have had good results in the past, making back investment easily since it was about $14 after taxes (I always got the +$5 newsletter add-on). But the last few times, I've not had even a single sale from it. Not sure what's going on. As I have said in other reviews, my books all have great ratings, appropriate and professional covers, and battle-tested blurbs that convert. Books that have done well, or exceptionally well, in the past on this promo just haven't been converting lately, with my last attempt seeing no sales at all.
