  • blimey some of these companies are quick to reply

    DHC skincare have already emailed back with advice and promise of samples.

    would be happy to suggest but you've proberly already got a head start on me

    what sort of companies do you like to contact or are you not bothered

    I'm making my sisters a christmas box thing with stuff in, so any company that gives samples that aren't sachets on are what I'm looking for :D
  • I only remember because I think of a company and then go on google and their site has already been clicked :(

    any suggestions? *does an angel face*

    Go to tesco website and use the grocery section to find some companies to contact ;)

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    Quick Template - edit to your needs ....


    Hi there, I'd just like to make an inquiry, I am currently having a problem with oily skin on my nose and cheeks yet dry skin on the rest of my face ,I was wondering if you could possibly advise me on which of your products would best suit my needs ? I wear makeup daily so I am unsure on what products will not only keep my makeup fresh looking ,but will also stop me looking shabby and tired later on in the evening . I'm 'age' years old ,yet I still get pimples . And to be honest the more stressed out I get ,the more I break out .If it's possible to send me any advice or leaflets , my details are:
    Name

    Address


    Thanks, all the best, Name

    The leaflets and details practically insure you will get a sachet at least! It's even better if you also mention to them a few 'competition companies' you use .... or don't :wink: Also your routine ,if you have one . My other half sends the same template (just edited for a bloke) and the guy companies are always very good ,plus he feels so grateful for the goodies ,I get tea made for me all day :)

    Good luck !

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FarzRocks!! Is there anyway that I can send the email without my address being in the first email? I just don't feel comfortable sending my home address without them asking. But then I don't know how to ask for samples etc help :(

    i recently wrote to baylis and harding about their funky farm kids range and they sent 2 full sized products. might work with other stuff
    also one planet deoderants have sent me 2 full sized products .
    gillette venus spa sent £3 voucher


    although sample sachets aren't ideal they would bulk a hamper out and give them a chance to try things they might not normally try

    I'm making my sisters a christmas box thing with stuff in, so any company that gives samples that aren't sachets on are what I'm looking for :D

    I got a voucher for £5 off a £20 spend from them, nice but not quite what I was hoping for.
    Cathedral city said they'd send me a product voucher, also tigi bedhead are sending me shampoo and conditioner samples. :D

  • Hi,

    Just seen this thread and it sounds great.I have some companies id love to compliment but can i ask what you write?

    ive seen the template for the skin care companys but what do you write to companys like walkers, tetley etc. How do they know where to send the coupon/sample? How can i give my address without seeming ...presumptious that they should give me something.

    Hope that makes sense. Any help would be appreciated :)
