Are Freebies A Scam?

by Jill on November 4, 2009

In a time of hardship, where manye are suffering from the global economic meltdown, there are sites on the net trying to help out those not as fortunate. One such site is www.FreeStuff4Free.com, which offers a large selection of free samples.

Many companies are still willing to advertise and so to show that their products are better than others in the market they are eager to offer samples to trial hoping that consumers will enjoy their product and become future purchasers.

Whilst these may only be of sample size, the amount of companies offering such free samples is substantial, therefore a normal individual can receive over 20 free samples a week just by taking up different offers, thus saving you and your family precious money, which is so important during this time.

By trialling a product, a more informed decision can be made whether it works for you. Traditionally, companies will just market by having enticing packaging and if you were sucked in and the product itself was poor, you wasted your money. This approach to advertising removes that waste.

Freebies can range from magazine subscriptions to food giveaways, coupons offering savings on your favourite brands, to DVDs and competitions. Basically something for everyone!

Legitimate freebies DO NOT require any credit card details and the people at FreeStuff4Free.com spend countless hours scouring the web to find the best legitimate freebies around. As free stuff and free samples are wildly popular, often links to these great deals become inactive after a few days. Therefore to limit the number of dead links, www.FreeStuff4free.com update their list every day! So there will always be new offers appearing all the time.

They also have a special section called cheabies, which is quite an clever term. Anyone who’s come across freebies before knows that there are some offers which aren’t technically ‘free’. There may be a small cost for postage and the like. A cheabie, is a hybrid word of ‘cheap’ and ‘freebie’. There is a dedicated section of these sort of offers on the site, which is a great idea and I think you’ll see other sites starting to use this phrase as well.

Each month, FreeStuff4Free gives away a prize to one of their mailing list subscribers. This is an easy way to stay in the running for free gifts. In the past they’ve given away iPod speakers, Nintendo games, concert DVDs and iTunes gift cards.

This is a legitimate form of marketing for companies wanting to promote their products. Product trials have proven successful and are here to stay. If all this interests you, I suggest you go to www.FreeStuff4Free.com and browse the site. You never know, you just might find something that you like!
