joyofsoycandle Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Bittercreek does three free 1/2 ounce samples with your first order, and then i think one free sniffy with every order $50 or more. http://www.candlesupply.com/Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 MMS does but its not always an FO . Also Brambleberry sends free samples too. I didn't know SFS started to send free samples. That's too cool. Now if they would just get coconut peaches and milk back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 It would also help to add if there's a minimum purchase required and how much it is... just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I just received my FO order from Nature's Garden today and for the very first time I got a free sample...but it wasn't an FO sample. It was a little sample packet of soap scented Dewberry. It was kind of strange though...the soap was the size of Dot's candies...actually, even smaller....I received about 10 of them. I mean I appreciate a free sample, but all I can do is smell it...because I don't know how I'm suppose to use soap this small. LOL If anyone has a clue as to what to do with soap this size...please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh - I forgot about BB sending samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob in tx Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hey Fern,If you have a dollar tree anywhere around, check by the scungies (sp) and you might be able to find the ones that have an opening in them (they are shaped like a tube, but same material). Put all you're little soaps in there, and close end and see what type of lather you get out of it! Let me know if that works for ya.

Carrie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I usually get a free sample from MMS. Sometimes a note pad, a couple of times I've gotten free labels and twice I got samples of lotion. I've always gotten a free sample, but just never expect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I started BSC sending samples I don't know if BCN sends them.BTW Charley is great to work with.I'm not a supplier but with my orders I send some kind of freebe with any order over $10.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyofsoycandle Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Oops i forgot to put the quote to what i was responding to, its below this post lol....sorry still a newbie in here LOL But yeah you list in the comments section when checking out, which scents you want for the free sniffies. I always order from BCN. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyofsoycandle Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Do you have to request these....because I have NEVER gotten a free sample and have ordered from them several times....always over $50:(http://www.candlesupply.com/sniffies.htmlCheck that out for all the info =)Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuepie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Do you have to request these....because I have NEVER gotten a free sample and have ordered from them several times....always over $50:(I ordered from them a couple weeks ago over the phone, and the rep told me every new customer gets three free samples with their first order. I did not know that either. Good thing she asked. Maybe if you order through the internet somehow it is not stated with the first order.HTHOh yeah, it was bittercreek north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 ... I send some kind of freebe with any order over $10.00Me too. Since I like getting the free sample, I like giving them I think you do have to ask for the sniffie at BCN, however last time I didn't ask and got one, so who knows. It was a nice surprise, though!!

Scented Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've gotten samples from BCN (sniffie more like it); Alabaster occasionally are ones that come to mind. Never got 'em from NG. Oh and Just Scent sends 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I usually send them out, too. (Solas Candle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scents for me Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Just Scent sends many free samples with every order. 1 ounce samples, not a 1/2 ounce you can't do anything with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I love free stuff!!!I actually have gotten free samples from SoapnCandles, but I think that's because she's usually so far behind on orders, it's more of a makeup gift! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 OOHH I love me some free samples! I think the soap from NG is just so you can smell the FO and see what their soap bases look like. I have gotten freebies from TDF. I love that you get 3 1oz samples of FO at JS. That is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleFreak Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 thanks everyone for letting me know...i'll make a mental note to request them next time!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I love getting the 3 free samples from JS....Except .... After I try them out I order 16oz bottles on my next order!!!! I'm going broke!! It is nice that you get a couple free. I then test new scents that I normally would not try if I had to by at $2.50 a sample... Her scents throw so well in soy!!! My cutomers are loving it cuz I have all these new scents ion my candle line now!!!!Very smart business move giving out free samples!!

Meridith Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Oh yeah, I forgot about JS and their 3 free samples. Too me, that's the best place for samples. As far as BCN and their 1/2 sniffie sample, I think its almost a waste since I can't do much with only 1/2 oz. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Oh yeah, As far as BCN and their 1/2 sniffie sample, I think its almost a waste since I can't do much with only 1/2 oz. :undecidedI agree with you. There really isn't much you can do with a 1/2oz sniffie except, well...sniff it. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Sure there is something you can do with a 1/2 oz. sample...make some tarts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
