How valuable are Free Baby Samples?
The giving and receiving of free baby samples is a win, win situation for everyone involved.
The free baby samples are useful for new mums when gathering together all you need for your baby and gives you the chance to try different products to see which you like the best before buying.
And for the companies involved, distributing the samples it’s a way to let new mums know what is available out there and encourages customer loyalty.
