Sample Expressions the place to be!1


If you are a Blogger or in Direct Sales you should check out Sample Expressions as it is a new and wonderful way to be seen. I love the way they portray there clients. It has been so fun visiting the site. I am thinking of even putting items into the Sample Bags as it would be a great way to be seen by new people. What is a way you have used to be seen that is out of the box?

Welcome To Sample Expressions

Welcome To Sample Expressions - Helping Businesses Grow One Bag At A Time.
Sample Expressions was founded in October of 2012 after years of having a dream about opening this type of business. After hard work and years of waiting and working on marketing Skills, owner Sheri was finally able to see her dream through and open her business.
We are a form of sample bag company with a twist. Sample Bags are a "try before you buy" type product. We accept samples from all types of businesses such as direct sales, network marketing, handmade, independent, small businesses and more.
The idea is to put samples of products into the hands of consumers so they can look, touch, feel and sometimes even smell and taste before they decided to make a purchase from a company. Samples are a great way to market a company of any kind. We all know that we love to look and feel things before we buy them. If consumers are looking at candles or anything to do with fragrance, typically they like to smell them before they buy them. Most people even enjoy tasting different foods before they decide to spend money on it. Purchasing our sample bags is a great way to do just that.
The twist is that we also do a newsletter that is printed twice a month and passed out in our local area along with some samples from our Diamond Sponsors". These newsletters are passed out door to door and business to business. One thing we know for certain is that one on one interaction with someone talking about a business is a great way to market. When someone takes the time to talk with potential customers, there is a better chance of gaining a new customer.
Our mission here at Sample Expressions is to help business owners market their businesses in a more unique way. We aim to bring business owners more exposure by promoting both across the web and in our local area. We will also be offering a email newsletter that will go out once a month featuring all the sponsors we have in both our bags and our printed newsletter each month.
Here at Sample Expressions we allow 2 reps per company per month, and we accept all types of companies. We will not put two reps from the same company in one bag or newsletter together as well as we will not put two competing companies in the same bag together. Our mission is to help every business owner that we work with become successful and have learned after numerous years in the marketing industry that team work and learning to work together is the key to any successful business.
Consumers can purchase their choice of 3 different size sample bags:
The Mini Expressions Bag - which will contain 10+ samples from various companies.
The Maxi Expressions Bag - which will contain 15+ samples from various companies.
The Master Expressions Bag - which will contain 20+ samples from various companies plus one of our printed newsletters.
Our first round of sample bags is targeted to go on sale April 10th 2013 here on our site . Smaller bags are already being sold locally. First round may vary from future months as far as the number of samples and pricing. After March 2013 sample bags will be for sale on the 10th of each month until they are sold out. There will only be up to 10 bags of each size available.
Consumers can click on the "Purchase Bags" tab at the top of the site to purchase their bags when they go on sale.
