My Top 5 Freebie Hunting Tips!!
Being an experienced freebie hunter I can say I have learned quite a bit about freebies and would like to share a few tips to help others to become freebie hunters or to become better freebie hunters. So here are my top 5 tips.
1. Create a disposable email account. Something you wont mind opening and seeing junk mail. Because along with a bunch of awesome freebies, you will also most likely receiving alot of emails you may not want to search through just to get to your personal email from your friends and families etc. A few sites I recommend and use myself for my freebie emails is Yahoo and Googles' Gmail. But there are really several places to get a free email account.
2. Read the fine print. No matter what you are signing up for be sure to read the fine print and really check out the website. Be aware of the forms you are filling out. No freebie form should ever ask you for your social security number. So pay close attention to what you are filling out. And dont be so free with your personal information. I never share my social security number or real phone number.
3. Keep your eyes open! Freebies are closer than you may think. Watch television commercials, many products will put a website at the bottom of their ad. Visit those websites you may find a freebie, coupon, sweepstakes etc... Another real good spot to find freebies is in magazines, newspapers, flyers from the school in your childs backpack even.
4. Work for your freebies. Alot of times companies may have a freebie but not advertise it. So what I like to do when I come across a website that doesn't offer a promotional item is look for their 'Contact Us' information and let them know that I am interested in their products and ask if they would please add me to any mailing list that they may have and leave my mailing information along with my email address. Many times I will get a freebie in the mail from them and many times I will only get a coupon. But it never hurts to ask. This also works for 800 numbers found on product packaging, etc.
5. Be Patient!! Most times it will take anywhere from Two to Eight weeks for a freebie you've requested to show up. Sometimes longer and unfortunately sometimes it never comes. Why would it never come? Well the number one reason I have found for this happening is, they just simply run out of the product or item they are offering.
