Is it worth to send free samples to importers ?

1. If the value of your sample is high, then the buyer should pay the sample fee and the freight charge and you can refund the sample fee to the buyer when he place order with you.


2. If the sample value is little, then you can send samples free to importer, but they should pay for the freight charge, which can prevent some people who are hunting for free samples.


3. You can also negotiate with the buyers about samples. It depends on the agreement you make. May be you can ask buyer to pay half of the value of the sample.

CONCLUSION :

We have seen in so many cases, Buyer tries to get the sample free of cost, but if samples are offered free of cost, around 80% of importers will not, actually, place the order and they will just sell the free sample. The best way to offer the sample for free is to offer reimbursement at the time of placing the actual order. So that the Importer and Exporter both will get benefited

Let see this side of the business,samples are free,as an international importer i alwaus ask for sample approval.i am ready to pay for the samples ,but if they goods are not in hight quality,this will affect me,as for the manafacturier they produce its and they will be better than me loosing my money

it depends on the value of product!

you are right

As the importer, what we think is samples sending out is a chance.
But in fact, sometimes it's a liar.......
i think first , depends on the value of the product
second, use your wisedom to check whether there is chance or not

, so good for new sellers, if anybody has new idea, pls  give more to new sellers

Thanks so much ,good answer

As a manufacturer,if the buyer needs the sample,we can send to him.After all,whether he will order or not,firstly he is interested in the product.It's benefit to let more people know our products.But if the sample price is high,i think the buyer should pay for it and the freight cost.After the valid order,we will give back the sample price to the seller.

thanks for sharing

We do not accept free sample.
At first we take a sample charge.
and if buyer make a main order,
we deduct sample charge from
amount of main order.
most of buyer accept like this type.

Usually do like this.
