I have never asked for free samples or free items before I place orders. This is because I really hate free things and wouldn't like them indeed.
However more suppliers wouldn't embrace this.

For personal shopping, most sellers do not provide free sample. For businesses, buyers often ask for free samples or prototype from manufacturers before placing a bulk order. Alternatively, some buyers would place a trial order at discounted price.

It depends on the product that I want to buy. If I am buying a product like a phone, I ask for a sample in the mold of a dummy so I can feel how the phone would be like.

Some businesses doesn't have that options in their business when it comes to selling their products. It's going to hard to get them do that
Ours here, they are demonstrating, n cooking they cook and show to the crowd how they cook the menu. For cleaning, they mop the floor and see how it is done. People are strongly carried and before the demo ended, they already have handsome sales.

Most companies prefer to get free samples and a free trial now and its best too as this way you can check the quality and effectiveness first and then order in bulk or don't order.

My company always asks for a free trial when a new company is trying to sell its components to us and its important to ask so that we don't incur unnecessary losses

It is normal for them to want to free samples so that we can see what they want to buy to know if they will be interested or not. I also do this but not all the time

Even in a small food store there is always free sample tasting of the soup before buying, and it helps determine if the food is tasty and newly cooked. But not all can be applied.

Its best to ask for free sample as we cannot trust any new product to be used in our business so its best to ask for free sample and free trial at expense of the seller

Since I work in school I require free sample for books since I want to check it before I order books. I order 200 books and it is not small amount or money so they can afford one free sample.

Something like that is not available in my country. I don't think I have come across any restaurants that will ask you to taste their food before you buy it. I have never come across it

Free samples are important for me since I will use same books for 4 years. It is not short time so I can't work with wrong book for long. It must be choosen wisely.

You are right and the truth is that there are some kind of products that we can take free samples for and there are some other products that we cannot take free samples for like food

We can try free samples of parfums in some stores. It is called tester. You can't get one to house but you can try it in store and decide will you buy parfum or not.

It only happens in small food stores. But it is only the soup that will be tasted to know if the customer likes free soup after tasting. There s free soup in small food stores.
