We get similar requests fairly often.
Traits:
1. They want free stuff.
2. They dangle the possibility of hundreds or thousands of sales.
3. When the answer is no, they start making threats and/or take to the internet to post lies about the company.
Current policy is no free samples under any circumstances whatsoever.
We do give away copies of our products as gifts sometimes though and we make available review copies to journalists who can actually verify their credentials. (With about 9 out of 10 claiming to be writing a review for a magazine the magazine editor will say they have never heard of the person.)
- joezydeco 14y agoSounds like a lot of RFP bids I worked on at my current job. Big company shows up, dangles a bid the size of Texas (at least in our eyes). We pull all-nighters making a killer design and proposal. The client "changes their mind" and takes the completed bid overseas and has it made for peanuts.
