Lower Price Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re filling your box for free (or, even if you\u2019re only partially filling it for free), you\u2019re investing far less in the business. Thus, you can afford to lower your price points. Nobody&#8217;s expecting you to offer free subscription boxes to customers, but when it comes to your own costs, you can get pretty close!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The topic of pricing your subscription box is a long and complex one, but suffice it to say, the lower the fee, the more subscribers you\u2019ll attract. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Decreased Subscriber Churn<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can string together a few suppliers each month to give you free samples by mail, your audience will love you for the variety you bring to their lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By introducing your subscribers to new brands in industries they care about, they\u2019ve got a solid reason to keep paying your subscription fee. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Better Professional Relationships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to what you may think, many suppliers will want to give you free stuff by mail, because it benefits them, too. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By getting their samples in your box, your audience will get to see it and test it out \u2014 which could result in that subscriber purchasing products from the supplier. A free subscription box sample product could be the start of a wonderful business relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Find Free Samples for Your Subscription Box<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we jump into the quest for free samples, it\u2019s important to keep something in mind: Not every niche is a great fit for free samples. This is especially true for products that have a high manufacturing costs, like handmade sweets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-1602 size-full\" title=\"giphy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438-1.jpg\" alt=\"giphy\" width=\"432\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438-1.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u0411\u0435\u0437-\u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Niches like the beauty space on the other hand, have a very low manufacturing cost and a very high retail value. This makes the decision to give away free samples as a marketing tool, perhaps as part of a beauty box free trial, a very easy one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that that\u2019s covered, here\u2019s how to procure free items to fill your monthly subscription box.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Approach Local Stores<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest place to start looking for free samples is your hometown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit some independent gift stores (or whatever store would suit your subscription box) to see if they\u2019re manufacturing anything themselves. If they are, your box is the perfect way for them to spread the word.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Find Indie Manufacturers on Etsy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etsy is a goldmine for potential free sample products. Etsy is mostly populated with small and medium sized craft-style businesses. Their user base is pretty big, so it shouldn\u2019t be too difficult to string together a steady supply of vendors who are looking to expand the reach of their products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, with their in-depth search function you can truly narrow your search down on the exact kind of goods you\u2019re looking for. You can even search by location, so you can reduce overall shipping costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. DM Smaller Brands on Instagram<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram isn\u2019t just a powerful marketing tool, it\u2019s also an awesome place to find product to fill your subscription box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To maximize your benefit free samples should come from relevant brands. Start by searching for hashtags related to your niche and browsing the results. Think of hashtags that product vendors in your space will use, and you should be good to go. It might take some digging around, but hopefully you\u2019ll be able to find a handful of new brands you can partner with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/instagram-influencer-marketing-subscription\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">find Instagram influencers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your niche and see what kind of products they\u2019re recommending to their followers. Since these companies can afford to pay influencers to promote their products, they may have a budget for free product samples as well which you can leverage into being able to deliver cheap subscription boxes whose value is still super high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to reach out to those brands is right there on Instagram, too. You just need to slide into their DMs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-1604 size-full\" title=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-7.jpg\" alt=\"img\" width=\"404\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-7.jpg 404w, https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-7-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-7-16x13.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Browse Through Niche eCommerce Sites<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Searching for smaller retailers on Amazon or Ali Baba can be time consuming. You\u2019re better off looking at niche eCommerce sites that are related to your own niche.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, it you have a gamer-centric subscription box, you could find a ton of potential suppliers by visiting the site <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thinkgeek.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ThinkGeek.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you can check out products you like, and then track down the seller or manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Attend Trade Shows and Niche Events<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trade shows or events related to your niche, from global <a href=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/best-subscription-industry-events\/\">subscription industry events<\/a> to smaller, local meetups are a great way to learn about new suppliers. Plus, you don\u2019t always have to attend the events to see who\u2019s actually attending. In some cases trade shows or events will publish their list of vendors online. That way you can browse the list from the comfort of your own sweatpants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, if you are serious about sourcing products from certain vendors making that personal connection can go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, when vendors set up shop at an event or trade show you know they have a marketing budget that covers the event, they aren\u2019t operating on a shoestring. This means your chances of sourcing a free sample products are much higher, as they probably have a marketing budget that can handle free products.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Good Ol\u2019 Google<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s time to get crafty with your Google search, because by typing in the right keywords, you\u2019re going to find manufacturers who are desperate to get their products into your box.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-1588 size-full\" title=\"jim carrey\" src=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-5.jpg\" alt=\"jim carrey\" width=\"636\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-5.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.subbly.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/giphy-5-16x9.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To make your Google searches more powerful, use Boolean operators.<\/p>\n<p>Boolean operators are specific search terms and search operators that will help you narrow down search results.
