Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A product sample is a sample of a consumer product that is given to the consumer so that he or she may try a product before committing to a purchase. A free sample or "freebie" is a portion of food or other product given to consumers in shopping malls, supermarkets, retail stores, or other venues. Sometimes samples of non-perishable items are included in direct marketing mailings. The purpose of a free sample is to acquaint the consumer with a new product, and is similar to the concept of a test drive, in that a customer is able to try out a product before purchasing it. Many consumer product companies now offer free samples through their websites, to encourage consumers to regularly use the products, and to gather data for mailing lists of potentially interested customers. Paint chips are samples of paint colors that are sometimes offered as free samples.
