How to Request Bulk Freebies and Multiple Samples for Special Events, Fundraising, and Organizations
Do you need to request products samples for an event you are
organizing? Do you need to request bulk freebies for
fundraising? Do you need to find sponsors for product donations?
Here are strategies to help you request freebies and samples
from companies and sponsors. You should be aware that the offers
posted on many free stuff sites are not suitable for bulk
requests. These sites list free stuff offered by corporations
that use free offers to promote their products and services.
Generally, these companies limit their samples to one per
person, family, or an organization.
The best way to request multiple samples is to approach national
and local manufacturers, stores, or companies directly. Visit
their web sites and search for contact information of their
corporate giving departments, public relations, or customer
services. Then, email, write, or call to request the samples.
You should consider writing letters using your organizations'
letterheads. In your letters, be sure to explain what you would
like to request, why you need them, how you are going to use
them, and how you would recognize the companies for their
generosity.
When you contact large, national companies, you may want to find
out if the companies have formal corporate giving policies. Use
a search engine and search for the corporate giving or donation
policies. Keywords to try are the company's name and "corporate
giving" or the company's name and "donation." Then, determine if
your events or your organizations correspond to the policies,
and compose your letter, following the instructions listed in
the policies.
You may have better response rates from local companies. Try
contacting companies that have target markets of your event or
your organization. For example, I helped to organize a youth
artwork
contest. I contacted local fast food companies and youth
clothing companies for the contest prizes. I was able to get a
large duffle bag, a sweatshirt, and several gift certificates
from local businesses.
When you are successful in requesting the samples, be sure to
write thank you letters, including photos and videos to show how
the samples were used and how the companies received
recognitions.
Here are additional resources to help you request multiple free
samples:
1. Read "Secret Ways to Get Free Stuff" to find more examples of
contacting companies directly and asking for free stuff.

2. Contact nonprofit groups such as Gifts in Kind International.
These groups take extra inventories from manufacturers and
redistribute them to other nonprofits. You may have to complete
applications and wait to use these services.

3. Visit fundraising sites for resources at Yahoo! Directory of
Fundraising

thropy/Nonprofit_Resources/Fund_Raising/
4. Read books on fundraising. Visit the site below for
fundraising titles that you are able to locate in your local
libraries.

Good luck and best wishes on your efforts in requesting multiple
samples and donations.
