What is an E-Tailer?
An e-tailer is a retailer that primarily uses the Internet as a medium for customers to shop for the goods or services provided.
Lemming Central
"Where Bath and Body Consumers Meet Etailers
Are you a consumer looking to save on Candles, Cosmetics, or Bath and Body products? Are you an Etailer that creates new products? We welcome you to our community! Lemming Central was created to join both the need for Etailers to promote their products, as well as consumers to learn about new products and save money!
The Little Black Box
"The Little Black Box is the perfect place for consumers to try sample sizes of their favorite bath/body and candle products before they purchase from our wonderful online retailers."
On Your Toes!
Check the individual websites for times when a new box will go on sale and be ready to order one as soon as they go up. Sampler boxes sell out VERY QUICKLY!!

Information For Business Owners
All of these sites have information on them about how you can contribute your products for the boxes. I've become a regular customer of quite a few small e-tailers after first trying their wares out in one of these boxes.
Another excellent resource is this blog on experiential advertising techniques.

The Sampler
"The Sampler is a super fun marketing & promotional tool for indie businesses. Each month, independent crafters, artists, shops, zines and record labels who run web-based businesses send samples and promotional materials to a contribution pool. All the samples are photographed, posted to the site and then are portioned out, put in little packages and sent off to Sampler Subscribers, other Sampler Contributors and members of the Media all over the world!"

A sample box just for Canadians and other international customers who cannot get the US boxes.
