Gimmick


Explanation:
I used "Gancho" as "Gimmick" in a book I am translating...

"It is one of those stores with a gimmick... The idea is that you add the ingredients you want to your loaf of bread and come back half an hour later to pick up your loaf"

Igual te puede servir...

Si no, "hook" o "bait" might work...

lure


Explanation:
Let's see if we can work around this: I don't like it as a noun/adjective so there'd be some rewriting to do.

Or maybe, going a bit further away, "a product to introduce clients/users to the market", if "luring them in" sounds to brazen.

Would it something of a *beacon*, to get people interested in this kind of product? I'm sure there are lots of alternatives if that is the direction you want to go in. *Flagship* even....

Gateway would certainly get my vote! I was thinking about products which open doors, entry products, etc, and that sounds much the best.

Asker: This is what I used in the end. I think it's the best option.

Asker: The gateway drugs canard is old hat and long discredited. I'm quite happy to use the term metaphorically in this context :-)

loss leader


Explanation:
Cabe en el concepto, pero por ser un producto que se vende sin utilidad o con algo de pérdida a fin de atraer al público y que el cliente gaste en otras mercancías que sí dejen ganancia.

Sin mayor CONTEXTO, no sé si será aplicable o no.
