Why Free Samples Are A Smart Product Promotion Strategy Have you ever waited in line to sample an item? Have you ever felt that the best aspect of receiving the sample for free was something you got? That's the power of using free samples to market the product. Some small business owners may believe that they could even be giving to charity. After all, that is exactly what they are doing when they offer a product without any payment. Think of promotional offers for free in a different way. In order to market your product, it is necessary to invest money.

The week before they officially opened their doors to the public, they provided coupons for residents and office workers who live in the area to stop to the restaurant for a free meal of food a day before they officially opened to the public. That's right. Free. Lunch. Did they do well? Their "unofficial" launch was a massive hit, where cooks prepared numerous meals all day long. The next day, the "official" first day of opening, customers lined up around the block to get in to try the delicious pasta food items. They've built up an unwavering following of hungry customers since then. Once you wish additional resources on free stuff, look at here.

This is not the sort of product that you would like to offer away. To celebrate the opening of his shop, Matt offered a drawing for one free bicycle. Everyone who came to his shop on opening weekend was entered into a draw. Meanwhile, Matt gave away free food items and put up a fun bicycle obstacle course for kids to test their skill.
