One of the most popular and also the most effective marketing and promotion methods is giving away your product for free, either as a free sample, or even the free product. This method will help you gain early traction. I have implemented this promotion strategy for my business a couple of times. Even though the conversion rate was better I don't use this method frequently because it is very costly.

I actually know of sampling , products are given out for free either to be used or to be tasted and feedbacks are gotten from that's this will help know where to focus on during production before it actually gets into the market.
That's right I agree with you. I several times gave the food I cooked to neighbors for free. Then some of them are interested in ordering and buying from me. In my opinion, this method is suitable for large companies, because it requires large capital.
The strategy of giving products for free to attain marketing purposes may backfire on a business owner. This is because a number of members of the public believe that products that are offered for free are substandard.
I think this is an unfortunate situation that calls for adequate sensitization fo the public.

That's right I agree with you. That is one great method to increase revenue. I also often give free gifts or discounts to customers who reach a certain shopping amount. So it will motivate them to spend more to get free gifts/discounts.
That's right I agree with you. Providing free products is indeed an effective product marketing method, because sometimes buyers need samples before deciding to buy our products. We only need to give a few products as samples for them to try.
It is only during promotional activities that I usually give some of my products for free but it is going to be carried out in a way of discount.
I have only given my products for free to family people which I usually pay from my pocket into the business. If I want to run a production that I want to using to gift people, I do that but not at the pace of commercial production so that it would not cost me much money.
Yes, there are many companies which offer free sample of their new products. This is an effective marketing strategy. Let your potential customers try out your product. If they are happy with the product, they will buy from you.
I am not sure whether the experience I am about to describe qualifies.
However, many years ago during my childhood, I was selling avocadoes at a shed close to my home. A particular well-known customer kept pestering me with the idea that my avocadoes were not tasty. Over several weeks, this customer prompted me to give an avocado for tasting, or is it testing.

If you are a new business owner, offering samples can be an effective way to promote your business. I received some free soap from a local soap maker, and I was impressed with the quality. Because of this, I plan to buy from her when I have some extra money to spare.
If selling garden produce is some kind of business then yes I give away a lot of it free
