Title: New Vendor and FREE SAMPLES
Post by: LEFTY on February 02, 2013, 06:09 pm
anyone else think a new vendor giving free samples for reviews is shit?
i can understand discounted great deal pricing for the first 10 peeps or something but fkn FREE?
there is always a line of familiar faces ready to lick the inside of an asshole in these free threads so how can you get a real review that way?
giving someone something for nothing and asking me to believe its an honest review is just plain stupid.

Like all business legal and otherwise always promo $$$ involved.. consider it like opening a store selling hot dogs but you advertise in the newspapers to announce your arrival.all cost $$$  when you go to wallymart you see the reps handing out free food bits  same thing here..

nothing wrong with advertising and saying come get a hotdog and coke for $1... but free?
if you know what you have is good there is no need to give it away
maybe it would stop the *I'll suck you dick to get more* free reviewer flies around here

East Coast......IDK....those are not the same......I understand building a base of clients and what it takes to do that.......Have been in this biz for many years....just new to SR....
for the life of me....I can not understand why someone from the East Coast with Mary Jane would need SR....you prices are already higher than what I have seen on SR....and growing there is way harder than where I am at.......most of my customers are from the east coast.....and that is what I am looking for more connections.....IDK good luck......Being a grower for over 25 years......I have the product......just looking for more loyal...legit...customers who appreciate high grade medical cannibas.

Vendors that will give free samples are great. I had to place like 6 orders from 6 different vendors before I found the 2 vendors I want work with on a regular basis. Only 2 vendors out of the 8 would send me free samples and their stuff was the best out of the 8 vendors. It gets costly having to place 6 orders for small amounts of anything.

Spoken like the kind of vendor that is good for SR. I will buy a sample at the reasonable price to try and if I like the deal I will continue to buy. See it's easy! Put a link to your SR page in your sig. Keep telling your story in your review/promote thread and knowledge of your product. Price your product correctly and do something special here and there. Then follow up with great customer service and you will be busy.

Free is a relative term.  As someone who has and does reviews of samples I don't think it's free.  Every time I provide a new vendor an address I'm putting my ass and that address at risk.   I've gotten samples expertly packaged as well as some that I'm amazed arrived.  There are a lot of moving parts with an order on SR, security, packaging, shipping and then we can start talking about the actual product.   Just my .02btc

great point and something to think about for buyers responding to new vendors
all the more reason for a new vendor to tell his story well and show his knowledge of the processes involved here
if you don't have a safe drop location forget FREE in the title and ask questions of the vendor in their thread until you feel comfortable they know what the fk they are doing

What if there was a group with a lab that objectively tested each sample from these vendors? Such as the LSD Avengers.

I don't see why anybody would object to this unless they were also a vendor, trying to compete with the vendors giving out free shit, and mad cause they don't wanna give away freebies.
