If you ask for one with an order they will ususally send it. I have done it a few times out of all of my orders and they have sent them.

They do in fact. I've twice ordered from Alpha Dream. First time I didn't request a sample of anything but figured I might get one of something anyway, but didn't. Second time I requested a sample of Corpo and sure enough it arrived with my L2K.

I only asked for a free sample of Flirt-XS and I guess that wasn't available at the time but you sent me Bliss instead. I think every order you either gave me a sample or one time you gave me a discount. Hell, even doing trades with you, you gave a free massage oil(that I haven't been able to use) and another time you gave me a free p96

As far as scents, I've only tried one. Oud. And I really like it. I just don't want to try a scent and then not like it. But I also don't want to carry cologne around with me to cover a mone mix. I never have... and I figure mixing my cologne into anything I'm messing up the mix how its meant to be.

An idea: Can you get those scent cards? You know, the kind you would see on a display at Macy's that you take as a sample scent of the perfume/cologne. You'd only have to send them out once for each returning customer and then anytime you get a new scent available instead of wasting the actual cover scent you just have the cards to send out? I guess the only issue with the card idea besides being able to get them or cost are the customers who don't have a login so you won't know who already has them or not.

see the thread on My Stank - some of those sites have the scent cards, some cheap others not, but they have little 1/4ml to 1ml samples of scents for real cheap :

Well I try to send out scent samples when I can, I try to send out samples when I can. When my business becomes more about the samples then the products I'm just going to say oh well. I'll continue to send out samples when possible. Samples are a freebie to say here I think you should try this. They will not become the basis of the business and I'm not willing to put any more effort than what I am already putting into it. Takes a whole lot more time to make ten samples than it does to make ten 10 mL bottles.

I'm going to continue to send out samples as I have been doing. My business is built on quality products that work and are many times more powerful than most other products on the market for very reasonable fair prices. If you would like a sample of something please ask in the order comments and I'll do what I can to get you that sample when possible.

Thank you everybody for your valuable feedback and opinions.

just the thought of a sample thrown in makes me want to buy from a vendor
I'm actually leaning back towards the ExoticaXS now that it may be possible to sample Ascend OR Cohesion.
NOT BOTH and there are clearly greedy people who cause resentment with requests. I'm even a little embarrassed asking for one, and especially about posting my intention as it may appear that I'm throwing this up to gain additional free stuff. As in "I'll buy if you throw in X".

NOT the case. Rather I am new and since the Ying Yang is also, I'd like to try one of the guaranteed versions. I don't expect a guarantee on a sample LOL.

I like the 1ml vial idea.
perhaps a standard fee like $5 each (limit 2) and no scents (or some on paper)
I just want to smell it first. I'm married and she must like it or game over.
That puts me in the resale market undercutting your price.
my $.02

I'm also like a kid on christmas morning waiting for the mail.
EDIT JUST ORDERED I'M GOING TO STAND BY THE MAILBOX NOW

I actually have samples of all the scents made and I don't really consider that as a replacement for an actual product.

You can sure ask John for more than one, but its just what I can do when I can do it. As for the selling them I just don't want to get into selling them. For one they are way to small and simply snap on so they can leak. If I'm selling something I want it to be superb and not iffy. These are iffy. Not to mention that it takes more time and effort to make a sample bottle than it does a full sized bottle. When you get your order you'll see what I'm writing about.
