Whether you’re a seasoned free sampler looking for the latest P&G samples, or a beginner to the idea of freebies, there are a few things to consider when evaluating which samples to get, which we’ll cover in this article. Now before we dive into the top ten considerations you should have when sampling products, let’s get more familiar with the ins and outs of free sampling first.

Starting with PINCHme, our platform is different from competitors in that customers answer a series of questions surrounding their lifestyle and shopping habits on the Member Profile page in order for us to create a customized box of products for each individual. We then ship their samples directly to them at no cost and wait for them to tell us what they think of the samples they’ve tried.

Now that you know how PINCHme works, let’s take a closer look at the top 10 considerations that can help you make the most out of sampling from amazing brands like Proctor & Gamble.

1. Get to know the products of P&G

As with any products you may be using, it’s important to gain a fundamental understanding of the particular company. With P&G, they have a multitude of brands ranging from Tide, Crest, and Pampers to names less familiar like Venus, Olay, and Vicks. Spend time exploring their full range of products online or at the store to get a comprehensive view of which of their products may be best for you and which sampling opportunities you should keep an eye out for.

2. Read reviews from customers

Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the brand, it’s important to learn what others have to say about the products as well. Customer reviews offer great insight into the quality of the items, how long it lasted, the responsiveness of the brand in customer service complaints, etc. Reading reviews can help guide you in which samples to request and any potential grievances with the product that you can look out for.

3. Pay attention to product necessities

You’ve probably ever heard the saying “time is money,” but when it comes to free samples, it may be even more valuable. Sampling a product can help you determine whether or not its something you want to buy, saving you both time and money in the long run.

For example, if you’re in need of a new beauty product, eye cream for instance, you can try out a free sample of P&G’s Olay Regenerist Retinol eye cream before investing in a full-size version. After using the sample, you’ll have a much better sense of whether or not the product addresses your needs, giving you the ability weigh your decision quickly and cost-effectively.

4. Look for trends

The beauty industry is always reinventing itself. It’s always important to keep an ear out for trends that apply to your product needs, whether that’s understanding the current ingredient craze or being the first to try out a new product line. With samples, you can pinpoint exactly which trends align with your desires aesthetically, performance-wise, and financially.

5. Watch out for those pesky ingredients

We mentioned earlier that it’s important to understand the latest product trends, but it’s also just as important to stay mindful of the ingredients that different products contain.

Unless you’re a chemist, you’re not alone if you don’t understand what some of the ingredients in products are used for. With samples, you don’t have to worry about deciphering the fine print on your own – you can ask the prod

6. Utilize technology

The beauty industry is embracing technology more now than ever before and with P&G at the helm, you can be sure that you’re at the forefront of innovation. Utilize technology to the fullest by using the product’s app to gain insight into how your skin or hair reacts to the product and keeps track of important metrics that can help you understand what’s working and what’s not. A few of P&G’s products have even sealed the deal with their high-tech virtual reality!

7. Take advantage of corporate programs

Nowadays, corporate programs are the way to go when it comes to free samples. Not only do these companies offer awesome discounts, but they also provide free samples. P&G has their very own Rewards program which allows members to earn points and redeem them for goodies – like free samples!

8. Ask questions

Questions can be extremely beneficial when it comes to trying new products. Whether that’s about the product itself, the brand, or the efficacy behind it, P&G has a team of experts willing to help you understand the product and find the perfect one for you. Don’t be afraid to ask your questions – that’s what the experts are there for.

9. Consider the full spectrum of sampling

Finally, it’s important to keep in mind that samples don’t have to always take the form of product testing. It can also help you in understanding branded content and building relationships by attending conferences, events and workshops.

10. Trial the samples

Of course, the last step of the process is trying out your samples! Don’t forget to complete the survey after you’ve tried your samples and you’re sure to have a more informed decision on what to purchase the next time you’re in the store.
