The Top Tips For New Freebie Hunters

 

The world is absolutely in love with freebies. 

 It be lining up around the block just to score a free happy meal or doughnut, there is no underestimating what someone might do for something free. 

However, when you are getting into the freebie market, there is a lot that you should be aware of to do it right. 

You might even learn something if you're a seasoned veteran in the game so stick around.

1. It's Probably Not True If It Sounds Too Good. 

A lot of times, you can find yourself getting lost in the excitement of getting a freebie. 

If something sounds too good to be true, it very likely is. A lot of transactions will have both an upside and a downside. 

When we get something for free, it can make us feel as if what we are getting might be more valuable than it is.

 This can hinder our judgment and cause us to make irrational decisions.

 With some companies looking to take advantage of this, it could cause you to let loose some information that you might otherwise not if your judgment wasn't clouded.

 Ensure that the freebie you are getting sounds authentic. 

The fact is, you don't want to sign up for something that sounds too good to be true because most likely you'll never see it.

 Likewise, before entering into any freebie drawing, be certain to read all of the terms and conditions to ensure you know what you're signing up for.

2. Don't Expect Too Much. 

One of the things you should be doing when going into getting a freebie is not expecting too much. 

After all, you are getting it for free. When brands hand out free products, they likely won't be offering you full-size varieties. 

As a result, the majority of the free products you get will be smaller samples.

 Their primary purpose of gifting freebies is to win you over as a customer. 

They want to give you just enough so you come back and purchase the product from them. 

Likewise, you should be aware that you won't get every freebie you signup for. 

The likelihood of you getting every freebie is not high. You should expect to see around 70% of the freebies you signup for and apply for.

 If you find you are getting less, don't give up hope. You can keep on applying and you should begin to experience more freebies coming through your mail soon enough.

 To ensure the freebie is worth applying for, see the terms and conditions of all of the freebies you are considering to ensure you have a good chance of getting it.

3. You Don't Get If You Don't Ask. 

It's a good idea to write letters or emails to brands that you are interested in scoring freebies from. 

Believe it or not, but brands are ready and willing to hand out a lot of freebies and samples to get you to try their product. 

They know that you are increasingly likely to buy their product in the future if you try it. 

They take this as the cost of doing business and the cost of acquiring a customer.

 Always ask a brand as the worst that can happen is they say "no."

4. Don't Guilt Trip. 

Don't be someone who feels guilty over taking advantage of huge corporations' freebie offers.

 Contrary to what you might be thinking, your favourite brands are not losing millions of dollars giving away products. 

They aren't giving away products for fun. They are benefiting much more from the practice than you might assume. 

After all, every product they hand out is a potential new customer.

5. Set Up A New Email. 

One of the biggest rookie mistakes for every new freebie hunter is not setting up a new email address. 

The last thing you want to do is use your primary email address to sign up for freebies.

 After all, it will set you up to get a lot of spam mail. You also want to consider getting a new phone number as well. 

Freebies oftentimes ask for phone numbers and you don't want to hand out your phone number just to get spam calls every day.
