How to Get Free Stuff

Seems like giving away free stuff is a quick way for a business to lose money? Think again! What is most valuable to a business is a list of contact information for people who are interested in their products. People are so sales resistant that they do not just hand out their contact info anymore. So savvy businesses get contact info by giving away free stuff!

Here's how it works. The business offers you a free product or sample. You want it, so you give them your address or email address, and you get the item for free. The business can then follow up by contacting you with their offers, and they hope you'll purchase things from them. Often it works!

Another reason businesses give away free stuff is to entice you to purchase. They use free stuff as incentives. Did you ever agree to have a salesperson visit your home to do a sales presentation because of the free gift you'd get for listening? Did you end up buying the product? Businesses know that they'll sell to a certain percentage of people who listen to their presentation or come in the door. They entice prospective customers to hear them out or to purchase by offering free gifts.
