I have outlined the top three ways for you to request or order free samples online.

The most obvious direction to take would be to simply use a search engine in pursuit of free samples. The only problem with this is that many people take advantage of the fact that this is a frequently searched topic. There are a great deal of sites that have been designed to attract searchers of free samples, only to hit them with a ton of advertising. This is how they can make a profit without really offering anything in return.

One of the surest ways to tell that a site is set up soley for scamming is if you are required to complete lengthy questionnaires that don't really have anything to do with what you were searching for, leading nowhere. Another warning would be if they are trying to get you to buy something or release personal information other than the general that is usually required to obtain free samples. If you are asked to give your credit card or bank information, I would suggest that you leave that site immediately.

The most effective and surefire way to request free samples online is to go directly to the manufacturers' website. Manufacturers' sites will often prominently display promotions for either printable online coupons, freebies, or money saving deals on their new products. The best part about requesting free samples directly from the manufacturer is that there is no need to worry about being mislead. Going directly to the manufacturer is going directly to the source. You're avoiding any third party site.

There may be a manufacturer whose products you enjoy that doesn't openly promote free samples on their web site. If you are really interested in receiving free samples or discounts on their products, you can try sending them a letter. This letter could go one of two ways. It could be a positive letter letting the manufacturer know how much you enjoy their products. You could also choose to write a negative letter which either complains about the price of their products or an issue you had with a certain item of theirs. Many times, a direct letter to the manufacturer will be rewarded with some kind of compensation.

One thing's for sure, if you follow any, or all, of the tips in this article, you are sure to find your mailbox filled with various free samples on a daily basis.
