GimmieFreebies.com Announces Free Sample Availability

How consumers are getting completely free products online and in stores

LOS ANGELES — Sept. 2, 2010 — Today, GimmieFreebies.com, an online free stuff website, announced a great way for consumers to get everyday necessities without paying a dime.  Featuring more than two dozen fresh offers shared each and every day through blog posts, free daily emails from the GimmiEclub, posts on the GimmieForums, and a customized button for Google toolbar – consumers can get free groceries, health and beauty supplies, clothes, shoes, prescription eyeglasses and contacts, health-related devices, formula, baby food, diapers, pet food and treats, and much more – either in nearby stores, or online – delivered directly to their door.

With the downturn in today’s economy, record foreclosures and high unemployment rates, more than ever frugal consumers are looking toward ways to save money.  Brands know that if a consumer samples their product and likes it, they are likely to gain a customer.  Think about it:  It’s cheaper to give away your own products than it is to pay someone else for advertising.  Many companies use liaison giveaway companies such as Start Sampling to give away their products.  And, Facebook is no longer just a place to find your long-lost college buddy. Companies big and small have Facebook “Fan sites,” and many use them as a means to place their products in the hands of consumers – for free.  The United States Post Office has even gotten involved with a sampling package for a second year in a row, containing products from different brands.  Not surprising they’d get involved since samples are often sent via the mail.

Buyer Beware: Is there a catch?  Some “freebie” websites are established with the sole purpose of mining your contact information and selling it to spammers.  It’s important to find a website, such as GimmieFreebies.com, that identifies and removes all the unscrupulous types.  Avoid freebie sites that try to download/install malicious software on your computer or try to steal your identity.   GimmieFreebies.com features a huge list of fake freebies (aka “phishing sites”) to avoid, and shows the science they use to spot the scammers.

Signing up for freebies is easy.  GimmieFreebies.com collects free offers from around the Internet and in stores, and showcases them for fans in a timely manner. Some freebie offers last only minutes, and some are ongoing.  It’s important to find a freebie website that is updated regularly with real offers, such as GimmieFreebies.com.  They even feature an “upcoming freebies” calendar so you’ll never miss another offer!  For most online offers, your freebie will be mailed to you in 4-6 weeks.  Some take longer and some are faster, but they should say what to expect when you register for each offer.
