What is a "gimmick"?
A gimmick is a special trick, device, or strategy designed to attract attention, make something more appealing, or increase its popularity. It is often seen as clever or eye-catching, but it may not have lasting value or substance. Gimmicks are typically used in marketing or entertainment to create a quick impression, but their appeal may fade once the novelty wears off.
