Freebies and Coupons Anyone?
Who
doesn't like getting something for free?
Receiving freebies can be as easy as going
to the mall and asking the salesperson at a
perfume counter if they have samples. I have
gotten free hair cuts and makeup by letting
employees at one salon cut my hair and give
me a makeover in front of customers. I
recieved these freebies because I asked.
Unless you ask you do not know if you can
get free stuff. Let us say you have two
children and you want a free hair cut for
one, what do you do? Pick up the phone and
call some hair salons, or even visit some if
they are on your way somewhere. See if they
have a two for one hair cut promotion. You
can even go online to see if any local hair
salons are offering promotions.
Another way to
get freebies is to go online and visit a
freebie site. But before you start Googling
freebie sites, first think about what
personal information you are willing to
provide online. You might have to give
personal information from your name, email
address, zip code or/and phone number or
more to get the freebie. You also might have
to fill out a written survey, be part of a
focus group, or let someone call you for a
phone survey. Also, eligibility may apply so
keep that in mind. Once you have determined
how much personal information and time you
are willing to give to get a freebie, Google
Freebies. Click on at least three freebie
sites and see what they can offer you with
the least amount of hassle. I have seen
sites that offer freebies such as image
hosting, Java script, or internet access to
the more conventional kind like gas,
software and food.
Another way to
get freebies online is to go straight to the
source. To find out if an ice cream parlor
you like gives out coupons for free samples
or kid cups, visit their official website.
Visiting a company's official site can also
cut down on getting bogus coupons.
Unfortunately, some sites offer unauthorized
coupons from businesses. Thus, if you print
out let us say a free breakfast coupon from
a certain restaurant from another site, you
might have the bad luck of finding out the
restaurant will not honor it. Sadly, a site
might bait you with an enticing coupon to
get you to come to their site, but when you
go there you will find out the coupon is
unavailable or suddenly expired. If you are
ever in doubt about the validity of a coupon
contact the company who it is from directly.
To avoid a scam
I suggest you use freebie sites that are
recommended by someone who uses them. If no
one you know uses them then at least visit a
site that looks professional and has a
customer service number or email address
listed. Remember before you input any
personal information on any site, think
first, am I comfortable giving this info? If
you have any hesitation, do not do it. No
freebie is worth the hassle of receiving
spam and maybe clicking on a virus due to
it, or having your personal information
given to an unknown source that does who
knows what with it.
