One of the examples for viral marketing microsite is Big Brown Box by Jim Kukral & Dave Potokar. This is what they say about it: 

You send us stuff to put in the big brown box.
When the big brown box fills up, we auction it to the highest bidder.
Or we might trade it for something, not sure yet.
We will actually ship the box, with all the stuff in it to that person.

So, what is already in the box? Stuff which is worth over $15,000! Stuff like a shirt  and Dell laptop.
