Offers That Appear
Way Too Good Are Likely Not the Real Deal
You need to check that the freebie really is genuine (if you
are being offered a £1000 voucher you know it's not a real thing) and you also
need to check the terms and conditions very carefully to make sure that you
fully understand what you are agreeing to. Check out this
infographic for more information.
Keep Your Expectations
in Check
The majority of freebies come as small samples, not a
full-size product. The reason that lies behind the freebie is that of you
trying out the product without having to fork out money for it, if you like it,
you go ahead and purchase a full-size product yourself. Keeping your
expectations in check also means that you won't expect to get all the freebies
you apply for.
If You Aren't Willing
To Ask People May Not Be Willing To Give
Try sending out letters and emails to various companies asking
if they have any free samples that they are
happy to send out to you. You can also let companies know how much you like
their products, this can sometimes result in boxes full of freebie goodness
landing on your doorstep. If you have been dissatisfied with a product, make
sure you tell the company about this too. You will find that most companies are
quick to provide a replacement freebie and a few extras if their customers have
been dissatisfied with their initial product.
Guilt Is Not Your
Friend
Ordering a few free samples from your favourite company is
not going to put them into bankruptcy. In fact, they love it for the benefits
it brings them. Each time they send out a sample package they are, in effect,
being given the chance to draw in a new customer. After all, most of us who
receive something for nothing and think it's pretty great are going to head out
to purchase one with our hard-earned cash.
Get Yourself Set Up
With a Second Email Address
Possibly the most important tip. Don't let your email
account get bogged down with spam mail, instead set up a second account and do
the same for your social media account and phone number - you need all of these
to claim your freebies. This tip is worth its weight in gold!
