View Full Version : A possible way to get freebies
Not a freebie but might be an interesting way of getting some freebies. If not, an interesting read. A guy took the address of 100 products and sent a letter to each one asking for freebies (apparently postage cost him $39).

Anyone want to have a try with UK companies?

Hi, there was a thread on this the other day.
I did try to search for the URL to see if it had been posted before but my search terms were invalid.

when my ex hubby (forces) was in iraq and bosnia, him and his mates all use 2 do the same and write 2 companies asking for freebies, they actually got loads back and sometimes even gift packs would arrive or say 20 tubes of toothpaste to pass round 2 every one.
So id say give it a shot and fingers crossed to those who try
loops :)
I emailed a few companies about freebies... most got negative responces, but i got stuff from wkd and guiness so it's worth a shot emailin companies.

And no before anyone asks I didnt get any actual drink!

matL - can you remember which companies sent you stuff back (apart from wkd and Guiness) - and what did you request? Thanks alot!
Ummm, I just inquired as to whether they had any free promotional stuff that they'd send me. WKD sent me some pens, a bottle opener and some light up things, guiness sent me a magnet and some beer mat things, I cant at this exact moment remember any other positive responces but will edit this post if i find some, as for companies that gave me negative responces, cadburies, nestle, coke, pepsi, nintendo(told me i could buy there official magazine and get stickers... excuse me that's not free:P) so i doubt there likely to send stuff to other ppl but it might be worth a try.

EDIT: I think all the other companies I emailed either gave me negative responces or didn't respond
EDIT 2: I think one of my friends who I gave the idea too might have had some success with other companies however and will check if he decides to come online at some point...
am reading through the letters he wrote .....
had to stop at the Durex for for laughing so much :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

One of the few car companies I could actually find an email for
Mat
EDIT: Having spoken to my friend he got stuff from Badger (a book, beer mats, recipe cards and a bottle opener) and fullers offered him to go round there brewery for free. I would also like to take this moment to add that just because all the freebies we've both recieved this way are alcohol related doesnt mean anything... much
