Samples Are A Great Way To Market Your Business

Product samples help customers feel more comfortable about the purchase they're about to make.

They can touch it, smell it, taste it, feel it, try it, see it, or all of the above!

Don't stop there, though! With a little creativity, your customer will be inspired to make that purchase!

Let's look at a few ideas...

Use Sample Filler Packs For Product Promotion

Great Way To Get The Word Out!

What are filler packs? They are a promotional giveaway method to expose your business through mailings, giveaways or by way of exchange with someone else.

At Cello In A Box, we carry filler packs containing 200 soft poly bags measuring 3.75 x 6. The package also includes a 3 page Filler Tip Sheet with the following:

*15 Tips on making your filler packs

*12 sites where you can exchange and swap fillers

*65 places that you can leave your filler packs to gain sales!

The small bag in the picture is a sample of a filler pack with a piece of candy, business card and tied with ribbon but there are lots of ways to make filler packs and samples. We are here to help with your samples and filler packs. I am sure you will find great information from our sheet included in this packet.

Always carry samples with you to hand out to everyone you meet. Don't forget to add your business card!

How To Market & Promote Your Business With Samples

Always, always, always attach your business card to your sample pack. This is the way your customer will be able to reach you to order!

Along with the samples, why not include a couple of pieces of candy for folks to enjoy while they try out the sample?

  • Carry a tote bag with you at all times with some of your sample packs. You'll always be ready to hand someone your business information, with a sample or two!
  • Ask everywhere you can to let you leave a small basket with some of your sample packs. Try churches, day cares, libraries, laundries, retail shops, beauty salons, doctor's offices, dentists. Get the idea?
  • When filling orders, always include a sample pack with the order. You'd be amazed how many sellers don't.
  • These ideas aren't limited to direct sellers. Do you sell fine collectible linens? Can you get some packets of delicate laundry care products? Try to think of some ideas for applying samples to your business.

Read what Denise and Ann have to say about these bags........

I love the 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 clear sample bags! I put 2-3 wrapped gourmet teas in the bags and decoratively tie them with 2 different colored ribbons that match the colors of the teas. I one-hole punch my business card on the upper left corner and attach it with the ribbon. It helps my business because I own a gourmet coffee and tea business and the best way to entice new customers is with a free, beautifully wrapped sample. Denise Hanna - Camden, NY

I use the clear sample bags for "fillers". I send these in my orders and requests for catalogs and in the door hanger bags when I market to the neighborhood. I put a business card in these bags and then a trinket of some sort, a roll of smarties and a note "be a smartie, hold a party", a crayon and a note "may the colors of the season bless you", gum and a note "'chews' your gift", a mint and a note "mint to be handed down"...etc...these are great for a business card and something to get you noticed...something "lumpy"! Love these bags! Ann Brown - Columbus, IN

    I love your lens. I put one together for my Cello in a Box a couple years ago, but severely need to take the time to update it with current promotions. I love how you put in examples of different ways to use the bags.

    These are all great tips. I remember way back when I did direct sales doing these sample bags. I lensrolled it to my mompacks lens which is similar. Do you know Kay of My Precious Kids? She is actually the one that introduced me to this and she did with coupons/discounts and put them in local stores. Just an idea that maybe you might try.
