Writing to companies and asking for free shit

[beer.]

I'm really bored and don;t have a lot of money this summer. I was thinking about writing to companies I like and saying how much I like their product, and maybe theyll send some to me for free? anyone ever done this?

yep yep yep. and it works like a charm.

some companies will send posters and stickers. pretty sure k2 does posters

 

[low_fidelity]

or you can say you were dis satisfied with the product and they'll send you a "replacement"

I got t-shirts from a skating company, I'm sure you could get something from a company. Make the letter GOOD though.

i'm tallking bout food, not apparel or anyting. yum

 

[beer.]

should I ask for free stuff? or just say I really like the product

 

[SirFryanator]

just come up with a template letter, fill in the name of the company and send it to as many companies as possible

 

[GorillaSteez03]

i used to do this all the time...just hit up all the companies you can think of. It's so satisfying to get free stuff in the mail.

 

[connoroh]

someone should write up a template and post it.

Wow terrible idea. Noone do this please, it'll just ruin it for those of us who aren't too lazy to come up with a thoughtful letter.

I've gotten some free stickers from Spy and Monster. Nothing amazing but it's still cool to get shit hand addressed for free from some of your favorite companies. I just went to the contact us sections on there websites and emailed.

i did it with a fly fishing company and got like 50 bucks worth of sick flies and my friends have done it with other companies so it usually works, just write a really nice letter and don't ask for free shit, they'll just send it if they like the letter

 

[encludemeout]

do you handwrite the letters or are they e mails?

 

[p_n]

what would be some good companies to do this with? and who do you send it to?

we had to write a bussines letter to a company in the 5th grade, so my friend wrote it to Sum 41's record label people and they sent him a Sum 41 album signed with all of their signatures. pretty sweet.
