While the techniques discussed in this article do in fact allow you to acquire Free Electronics, this article also allows you to make money!

I?m sure you?ve received those worthless free product samples in the mail such as cat food, cereal, or maybe even tampons which I receive occasionally for some odd reason. So why are these items for free? I know the items are worth nothing but the concept behind them is the same; the companies are willing to give you free samples to try to persuade you to buy their products, or for testing purposes.

Now I know what you are thinking, ?Free cat food is one thing, but a free Rs.10000 in-dash DVD player is impossible!? But guess what, it?s not! If you are a distributor interested in selling a manufacturer?s specific product, or you would like to beta test new products in order to help companies improve their products, they are usually very happy to send you one or more free sample units (even if it?s a Rs.10,000 in-dash DVD player). These free samples are yours to keep. Usually all it takes is a request to a manufacturer for a price quote and some sample units. It?s really as easy as that! Manufacturers are accustom to receiving requests for samples and send them out daily to potential distributors. This is what large and small retail distributors are doing every day?

Another great thing is once you have contacted a manufacturer regarding a product; it is not uncommon for them in the future to automatically mail you similar or related new models. You may also receive product updates and emails inviting you to sample new products. I get them all the time. Remember an LCD monitor costing you Rs.50000 may cost the manufacturer only Rs.2000 to produce, if not less. So you can see why most manufacturers don?t have a problem with mailing you a sample or demo unit.

The information mentioned in this article is legal as this concept is already well known by high positioned employees at most marketing and distribution firms since it is a part of their daily jobs.

First of all, to get started you need a mailing address such as your house or apartment address. I?m assuming you already have a house or apartment where you can receive your packages, but if for some reason you don?t, you will need to get a post office box at a Mail Boxes Etc. or related service. Some of your packages may require a signature upon delivery and they will sign on your behalf.

Second, you need an email address. You already have one, however I suggest setting up a second email account for business use. Your second email should be professional sounding; for example, something like ?starsfan6969@yahoo.com? wouldn?t cut it. I would recommend the initial of your first name followed by your last name. If your name was ?Ganesh APP?, then ?ganeshapp@mail.com? would be great.

A few good locations to get free email I have listed below. I would not suggest getting an email at Hotmail or Yahoo considering literally any username you can think of is taken and they are well-known for being used to spam.

Free Email Services:

Free Email Account, 3GB Storage, Spam and Virus Protection at Mail.com
Postmaster | Web Email
EmailAccount.com

I also recommend using a good email program such as Microsoft Outlook Express which comes free with Internet Explorer. If you are using an online web browser such as the one provided by Hotmail, you will not be able to keep up with the volume or be able to organize your email adequately with the traffic you get if you decide to sell your merchandise. You can download the latest version of Internet Explorer at the Microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com

In order to get free samples it is recommended you get a free shipping account with Fedex, UPS or DHL. Here?s the links:

Shipping, Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management from FedEx
UPS Global Home
DHL | Global

You?ll need to open your free account using a debit or credit card. You will then be issued an account number. If you are unfamiliar with the way this service works, think of it as a credit card for shipping.

You can include this account number with the emails you send. If the manufacturer requires you to pay for shipping, they can simply enter your account # on the international airwaybill for the package. The shipping costs are then billed to the credit or debit card on your account.

You do not want to have these packages shipped overnight or 2 day airmail. As you can imagine a TV sent FedEx overnight from US to the India is not too frugal.

Instead, check with the shipping courier your account is with (FedEx, DHL, UPS) by phone to speak with customer service and find out which international shipping method would be the absolute cheapest. DHL in most cases is the cheapest since they offer slower delivery than FedEx.

Once you have researched and found which shipping method is cheapest (each courier has names, i.e. ?FedEx International Economy Rate,? mention in the email you would like the sample shipped using that method. Although paying for shipping is not necessary to receive free products, you will have much better success if you do. The cost of the sample usually isn?t what the manufacturer cares about; it is the cost of shipping. And it?s a small price to pay for some really great products.

Now that you have the necessary things ? let?s get started.

I am going to provide you with a couple of websites to get you started with. I, as well as hundreds of thousands of others, use these sites every day. After you have done this for a while you will be able to search out other manufacturers to contact directly using search engines such as google or yahoo.

These special websites offer access to over 150,000 suppliers. Believe me this is plenty to get started with. You can register free at both of these websites.

Asian Products--Import Export Directory for Importers, manufacturers, exporters,suppliers
Microchip Technology Inc. - a Leading Provider of Microcontroller and Analog Semiconductors
Welcome to Freescale Semiconductor

Not enough sources for you? Then check these out:

http://dir.yahoo.com/business_and_ec...de/directories

Take an hour or so to check out products which interest you. You will notice many of the manufacturers have a link to ?Request a Sample? located under the picture of the product. Click on this button to get an understanding of all the information you will need to provide. The ?message to supplier? field is the area where you will enter your request. This is where you will introduce yourself and your intentions.

Now that you have looked over the products it is time to start requesting your free samples. Since you are just starting, you should begin with products (from any category) that have a consumer retail value of $20 (equivalent to Rs.1000) or less. Only after you have had some experience and received a few samples should you start requesting the more costly items such as televisions, DVD players, etc. You will gain valuable experience this way.

Generally there are a couple of email addresses or contact methods on most sites. You can then email them from your email address. And some of the major sources will even have buttons on the site for requesting sample units.

Another way to email them is to click on ?request sample? or ?inquire now? on the product?s page. This will contact the companies through the website instead of you emailing them directly.

When you email the companies, you should introduce yourself, mention you are interested in their product(s) and you would like them to send you more information regarding the product(s) as well as a sample unit. Be sure to include your mailing address.

I have enclosed an excerpt of an actual sample inquiry between myself and a company.

Example Inquiry Message:

?My name is Ganesh APP, Chief Marketing Director of NitterBog, Inc. We have reviewed the printed media your company distributed at their booth during the China International Electronic Trade Expo last month. We are interested in a quarterly purchase of 16K units of model DVD-2400. Please email any additional information regarding this model, your best PPU on the quantity stated, and one or two sample units. Also please let us know if the price per unit stated includes royalties on applicable patents to this product.�?

What you write in your inquire is up to you, it does not have to be long; a paragraph or so may do. I do not advocate or support you writing any type of fictional information in your correspondences. Include your DHL or FedEx account number as well as the shipping method you would like if you opened an account.

You may have to communicate by email with the companies a couple of times back and fourth after your initial request. One thing I cannot stress enough is to be patient. In India, we do everything fast with a ?gotta have it now, can?t wait? attitude and adhere to a strict schedule. Many other parts of the world including much of Asia are not like this. You may not receive a reply to your email for a few weeks. This does not mean they are ignoring you, that is just the way business is conducted there.

When you receive your free products, they will usually be shipped as a ?commercial sample, no value? so you do not pay any tariffs on them. This is a very good thing; tariffs can be almost 40% of the product?s value!
