How To Obtain Freebies Offline
Freebies can be obtained offline through these means:
Contact companies – Sometimes all it takes is a simple phone call, e-mail or letter to a company, and a free sample could be winging its way to you.
Village fetes – Village fetes, shows or whatever you would like to call them, are great places to find freebies. Often home to a wide range of cakes and other confectionary, many stall owners will tempt you to purchase by offering trial-sized portions.
Product launches – If you manage to gain access to a product launch, you could be in an excellent position to grab some freebies.
Store openings -Store openings are another place where freebies are regularly sighted. Grab that free t-shirt while you still can and arrive on the 1st opening day to ensure you get first pick! We’ve also seen goody bags, hats and free sweets!
University open days – Universities are experts at tempting prospective students to choose their institution. You’d think the location and course would be the major clincher, but the majority of universities also go that extra mile and offer free t-shirts, pens, key rings and more.
Student fresher fairs – Like university open days, key rings, stickers and even Frisbees can be found at the fresher fairs.
Markets – Many towns and cities have regular market days, featuring food from different areas of the world. Familiar sights on the stalls are signs labeled with “Free Samples”, tempting you to have a bite.
Free stuff from banks – Open a new account at a bank of your choice and you may well find you’ve gained a few freebies. Many banks offer free money boxes, files and pens. For students, some of the major banks offer a free rail card for reduced fares on journeys when you open an account.
Freebies in the paper – You can pick up many freebies from the daily papers. Granted, they may not be totally free as you will usually have to purchase the paper, but many a good CD or DVD can be found in both the tabloids and broadsheets.
Supermarkets – Supermarkets regularly offer free samples to customers. If during your weekly shop you see a sample stand, don’t be shy, head on over to the counter and get tasting. You may even find something you hadn’t thought about, and end up purchasing the full size product.
Enter competitions – Participating in competitions is an excellent way to obtain free stuff. Holidays, cars, cash prizes and more can be won simply by answering a few short surveys.
