Ever been to a Costco, Sam’s or BJ’s on a Saturday morning? There are enough free samples to have a plentiful brunch. You like that, right? All that free food, not too much to make you sick, but just enough to keep you from falling over in the frozen food section from starvation.
We also enjoy the world of wholesale clubs and their samples, but we like to push the envelope. We’ll give you the whole product – not just whatever fits on a napkin – and ask you what YOU think. Participating in a product sampling campaign is the bee’s knees for a publisher and here’s why:
PUBLISHERS GET THE PRODUCT FIRST.
As an influencer, you often get the product to review before it hits the shelf. Recent campaigns include Vtech Switch & Go Dinos, Armor All Extreme Shield Wax, the Shout® Trigger and Scott’s Snap Spreader System. The best part is, all of these products are yours to keep, even after the campaign ends! All we ask of you is to tell us what you think!
YOU SET THE TREND.
People hop on different trends at different times, but don’t you want to be the trendsetter? If you’d like to be the first to find the new hot lipstick, an easier way to fertilize your lawn or how to get stains out fast, then you should really consider participating in sampling campaigns. We can help you be the one who always knows what new products are hot and not-so-hot.
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE BUYING.
Sometimes knowing what car wax is best is not always one’s area of expertise. By being able to try out Armor All Extreme Shield Wax, you can familiarize yourself with the automobile cleaning product industry. Participating in a product sampling campaign not only teaches you something you didn’t know prior to that bottle of premium wax, but also lets you educate your readers. By becoming an influencer in consumer America, eventually you too will be able to tell your blog’s audience to “Wax on…wax off”.
SIGN ME UP!
So how can you sample with us? It’s simple. Sign your blog up with SocialSpark and tell us you’re interested. Then, give us your current mailing address so we can send these samples over. In no time you’ll have a hunky FedEx man waiting at your door with your never-before-seen sample. Aren’t you exclusive!

I've participated in quite a few product sampling campaigns for SocialSpark. I love being able to give my readers an honest review of a product, so they have all the information they need - from the advertiser and me, the consumer - before deciding to purchase the product.

Oh I love freebies and of course, I like the products of Armor All. I just won a pack of Armor All Extreme Shield Wax set last month when they have a contest.
I am interested about this opportunity. I find it easy to review their products because they're good and and I know it really works great. Sign me up please.

Joe Tech said on 6.28.12 at 2:22 am
Product sample reviews are a great way to get hands on with the product for a truly honest review and added value to your readers. As a long time Social Spark publisher, I've participated in a lot of them and would do them all again.
Monica Curran said on 6.28.12 at 4:31 am
Oh yes! I love sampling products and would love to sample for you. I test out products for one other company. I would rather sample products from SocialSpark.

I was offered a product sampling for Revlon but the address details is asking for a State name which doesn't apply to my address. My shipping address cant be verified so I guess it's for US publishers only?
Suzi said on 7.20.12 at 6:57 pm
I had the same issue as Jona, and now I can't even access the lead. :(

[...] great free stuff other Bloggers always seem to be bragging about? We can help! Through SocialSpark product sampling campaigns, Influencers like you can receive and try out new products – often before they are available [...]
Shydub said on 11.14.12 at 6:11 pm
Those product sample or food testing at Costco is always my favorite destination.
I've been a member of IZEA and Social spark for over 3 years and I been receiving products sample to review with the paid post opps as well. It's awesome! However, I stopped blogging for couple of month last summer and since then I,m getting less and less sample like what other bloggers i know. I'm always happy and grateful with social spark blogging opps. I hope to receive samples again just like before. Thank you for the post
