Trying new products can be both exciting and daunting. But what if you could get them for free? PINCHme was created to provide a platform for members to sample products from leading brands, free of charge. Providing a friendly user-experience, users can easily join by simply answering a series of questions about their household and shopping habits. Appealing items ranging from personal care, food and drink, home and family, and pets, members have the opportunity to receive “free products from amazing brands like Dyson, Sony, Olay, Estee Lauder, L’Oréal, Urban Decay, Drunk Elephant, Panasonic, Clinique, Lancôme, Maybelline, Too Faced, Fenty Beauty, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Samsung and Smashbox.”
Although receiving free samples is desirable, the aim of PinchMe is to provide a platform for consumer feedback to benefit both the buyers and sellers. To begin, members must create a free account. With information such as e-mail, username, postal code, date of birth, and gender, creating an account is rather easy. Once the account is established, members are encouraged to answer questions regarding their lifestyle and shopping preferences. This information is used to customize the free samples one may receive. Questions range from considering the size of their household to specifying which product assortment is interesting to them.
Following the questionnaire, PinchMe then provides members with a list of products from leading brands such as Tide, Crest, and Pampers to choose from. With a limit of six samples per person, including free shipping, choosing samples is relatively simple; each product comes with a description, size, and quantity of samples. After selecting the products, the user must then ship it to their home in which they can then try.
It is here that the user’s feedback comes into place; users are asked to fill out surveys in exchange for the product samples. Depending on the product, the survey typically takes less than a minute to fill out such as rating questions regarding how well the product performed and whether or not the survey taker would recommend the product to others.
Providing users with free samples to try is a great way to introduce them to new products; however, the survey provides the best feedback for the sample’s parent company. With the help of PinchMe, users can benefit from an introduction to a wide array of new products. Further, with the successful completion of surveys, PINCHme provides participants with points they can redeem for more free samples. Thus, PinchMe has created a platform for users to discover products, in turn, giving feedback to manufactures about the quality and appeal of their products.
It is important to note, however, that PinchMe is not a marketing platform. All samples stated previously are tailored based on individual questions and answers given from the survey. The key is to be honest in the profiles and the obtained samples should be products of interest to oneself. Through PinchMe, users have the opportunity to sample products and get their opinion heard.
