A World of Free Products
Congratulations! You are about to begin a fun and exciting new hobby: requesting and
receiving free products and free product coupons from companies and organizations all
over the United States and Canada. By following the simple instructions outlined in this
book, you may find free products filling your mailbox in just a few short weeks!
Why would companies want to send you free products? The answer is quite simple -- they
want you to be a regular customer! It's a competitive business world out there, and companies
know that they often need to give you a "taste" of their products to get you to pay
hard-earned money for them. This happens every day. You've probably received free product
samples of shampoo, skin lotion or breakfast cereal in the mail. Or perhaps you've
enjoyed sampling various types of products at your local supermarket, bakery or candy
store. The concept is the same: they've got to give a little away for free to gain your
interest as a customer (and in some cases convince you to switch from the brand of product
you are currently using). This giveaway principle forms the foundation for Absolutely
FREE!
Of course the biggest challenge is finding out which companies give away free products
and which ones don't. There are many companies that will never send you free products,
no matter how nicely you ask for them. Absolutely FREE! takes all of the guesswork out of
the equation. In researching this book I have contacted thousands of companies and organizations,
investing hundreds of hours over many months, to find the companies that
will happily send you free samples of their products. I've done all of the work for you so
that you can just enjoy the fun part -- requesting and receiving free products!
Many of the products you can receive are well-known national brands, and some are hot
new products you may have never seen or heard of before. All of them are quality products
produced by trusted, established companies -- the kinds of products you'll see in any
supermarket or drugstore.
And the range of products you can receive will truly astound you! You'll be able sample a
wide assortment of health and beauty products such as vitamins and nutritional supplements,
hair and skin care products, personal hygiene products like toothpaste and
mouthwash, and diet and weight loss products. You'll also be able to enjoy a variety of
delicious free food items: soups, sauces, candies, snacks, deserts and more -- and hundreds
of free recipes you can share with friends and family. And you'll be able to receive
household products designed to help you keep your home fresh and clean. There are free
products available for pets, babies and children, free mail order catalogs, free magazines
and newsletters, free government publications, free travel literature, free TV show tickets
and much, much more!
The most interesting aspect of requesting free products is the tremendous diversity of
free products available, and just how much free stuff you can receive if you simply follow
the step-by-step instructions detailed in this book. Many companies will send introductory
sample sizes of their products, or store coupons entitling you to free products or price
discounts. Others will send product samples and coupons, along with a letter thanking
you for your interest in their products. And some companies will send you large boxes
filled with 10, 20 or even 30 product samples or more!
Participating in this exciting hobby can make any day feel like Christmas, Hanukkah or
your birthday. Imagine having your mailbox stuffed with free product mailers or finding
boxes of free product samples piling up on your doorstep! All of this is possible once you
learn the correct techniques and take the proper steps.
There is a well-known saying: "There's no such thing as a free lunch." In most cases this is
probably true, but my research and experience prove that it is possible to get a free lunch,
dessert and a whole lot more! Absolutely FREE! will show you how.
I invite you to read this book carefully, follow the instructions, and enjoy the benefits and
fun of receiving free products for many weeks and months to come.
Remember, the best things in life are free -- Absolutely FREE!
