Are you a freebies fanatic or do you just enjoy trying new products through freebie offers? Have you ever wondered how to get freebies for only brand name products? Check out the instructions below to find out how to acquire freebies for brand name products, everything from food to coupons!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Computer with internet access.
  • High-Speed, Broadband, DSL internet connection (not required but preferred.)
  • Color printer

Step1
Sign online and use your preferred search engine of choice to type in a search for freebies. You can use keywords such as, "brand name freebies" or "brand name free stuff". As long as the phrase "Brand Name" is used it should yield better results. You will more than likely find websites that have a mix of brand name freebies & no-name freebies, these websites are just as valid as others as you may find freebies here that you may not find elsewhere.
Step2
When perusing the website for brand name freebies, if you should find a freebies you are interested in, click on it. You will usually be taken to the company's website. On that page should be the offer for the freebie, unless you are instructed otherwise. Sometimes the freebie offer may be hard to find, you may be directed to a website where you don't see any offer. This may happen as a result of the freebie offer expiring, or the offer may be in a spot on the page that is hard to find at first, such as at the very bottom of the page. Or that page may contain a link that takes you to a form to fill out to receive the freebie.
Step3
When filling out the form for a freebie through the mail, be sure to be as detailed as possible. Some forms may ask for what country you live in, some may not. Most of the time they will ask for your phone number, usually it is not required and it is suggested you not give out your phone number, even to brand name companies.
Step4
Once you have filled out the form & you have submitted your info that's pretty much it! If you are getting a freebie such as a printable coupon, then there will be prompts that will instruct you on printing your coupon. Make sure to have your printer already on with paper and ready to go. A high-speed connection makes this process quick and easy.

Tips & Warnings

  • Ordering and gathering brand name freebies such as mini samples of food, skin care, toiletries, etc. can make a nice gift for someone. Take the small samples and compile them into a small basket adorned with a bow or decor of your choice, and give it to someone for the holidays, a birthday, etc. It can even come in handy for someone you know that may be in the hospital. Keep in mind freebies sometimes take a few weeks in arriving at your home.
  • When signing up for a freebie, some websites offer a box to check if you want to sign up for a newsletter. If you don't mind newsletters in your inbox, keep an eye out for these check boxes which are usually at the bottom of the forms.
  • Never enter your social security number on any freebie forms online. A Social Security number is NEVER needed to receive a freebie.
  • Steer clear from freebie offers that require you to complete another offer in order to receive your freebie. You should NEVER have to pay one cent out of your pocket for any freebie, that's why they are called freebies!
  • When arriving at a freebie offer page, make sure the address in the address bar coincides with the company you are ordering a freebie from. Sometimes there are websites that are not legit that compile your info for spam purposes.
  • Be cautious with no-name freebies. While most out there are decent and trustworthy products, many times the quality and/or intent behind the freebies isn't so great. Thus the reason I highly promote the brand name freebies.
  • Try not to be greedy and order the same freebie over and over again. While some companies have no problem if you should come back in a month and order another coupon or skin care sample, try not to abuse free offers. Ordering a second sample for a family member, however, would not be a form of abuse upon the company offering the freebie.
