Good luck Snowbrow. I have just emailed the makers of frijj so fingers crossed it will be a positive outcome.

hey everyone!

so far i have recieved £3 mccains vouchers for saying how much we love their curly fries, £2 from andrex from complimenting their loo roll! and £2 from vo5/tresemme from saying how much I like some products.

have had responses from the following who say they don't do samples/vouchers:
heinz
dr oteker
sc johnston/glade
lush
molten brown

there is still a few more who i haven't heard from, & still plenty more to try!

Can I ask how people do this :rotfl:

Do you just e-mail companies saying you really like their product and put your name and address in the e-mail and see what happens?

I'd pick a company whose products you genuinely like. Don't just contact those on this thread, they may start getting a bit suspicious if suddenly they're overwhelmed with emails complementing their products:rotfl:

oh, and if you find a reply helpful, don't forget to click the thanks button on the bottom right of the post, ta!

I emailed Andrex and they said they will be sending vouchers out to me. I also emailed some suncream companies for samples for the kids not heard anything back yet.
Last week i emailed pampers complaining about the crystals in the nappies falling out and they sent me a £6 voucher and jiffy bags so they could investigate the problem.

I emailed Persil ( I think ) a while back, after they've finished with there Mumbles penquin from Happy Feet plushie promotion.

I told a wee white lie.. saying how my son was very upset that he had lost his...

They sent me a Mumbles, and money off there washing powder. Result ! :j.



I once emailed Haribo, and not so much complained, but told them that a few of my favourite sweets in a multi bag I'd bought from tesco were nothing more than empty packets.
They sent me a HUGE !!! bag of mixed haribo, and a letter of apology.
I was in sweetie heaven ! :rotfl:

I emailed Co-op yesterday as I was very disappointed with their baby wipes, and also emailed Oasis as I had a rank bottle of blackcurrant and apple juice last week.

I don't complain often, honest! I much prefer complementing companies!!
