Title: Ideal Absinthe Sample Size...
Post by: UnWizard on February 04, 2013, 07:31 am
So UnWizard is now selling Organic Absinthe but would like you help in selecting the perfect "sample size bottles for sale"
The Absinthe is 144 proof so a little goes a long way, but would you like to see 1 oz. or 2 oz. or 4 oz. sample sized bottles?
Please let me know in this thread!

Fantastic, I will put up samples next week. Is it proper to charge full shipping/bottling costs on samples or is it community accepted to give away free samples?

great!!

its your choice you are the one with the samples:) i think you'll get more serious inquires when you charge for shipping

instead of everyone on SR hitting you up for "free" samples that they probably wont even write a review on

just my opinion

Very interested in this, and yes, I'd pay a modest shipping fee for a free sample.

There is no "proper" way. It depends on the costs of your packaging. If you can ship it cheaply then giving your samplers a full-freebie is nice and won't dig into your pockets too hard. If it costs a lot, then you should be asking for some shipping costs, but possibly give larger samples with that.

As for sampling size, and without knowing much about absinthe, I would suggest 2oz as the perfect sweet-spot. 4oz if you end up having to ask for help with the shipping costs.

Thank you for the input, I will probably just charge the cost for the shipping, box, and bottle but include the product at no cost at all.
I may also offer 2 or 3 completely free samples for the lucky few who spot them first ; )

Check out the potion shop and order a sample or a nice big bottle to quench that thirst for adventure!
