Are they giving a toothbrush too?

On a serious note, I doubt if they are giving us some authentic toothpaste. I remember, when I was in std. 8th, colgate had conducted a free dental checkup in our school. They also distributed those small tubes(must be selling for Rs. 10-15 those days) of toothpaste. We found that half of the toothpaste were beyond their expiry date.

So it is possible that they have packed expired toothpastes and giving it away. So be warned, there is no free lunch in the world.

They will not call you now. They will archive all your contact details and then pester you when the sales are low.

Consider the example of ThinkDigit, in the upper-rightcorner, there are 4 links namely Logout, Edit profile, Subscribe to digit, and newsletter sign-up. For those who signed-up for newsletters, let me know how many 'newsletters' you received to date. I have received none. Probably, they are doing good in sales at the moment. But as they come down, expect your email address and contact details to be put to 'good use'.

You mean free sample is just an easy way to collect the contact of target group..?? Why an already established brand need to do this...?? Any business geeks here?

Yes, with time, sales and marketing strategies have also undergone change in their ways of implementation. This method has several advantages:
1. Sending emails is much easier than making camera-ready art and buying media
2. Email addresses are re-usable. They don't disappear with time.
3. People receiving emails have already expressed interest in your product. So its easy to get the sales pitch to them

Also, there are some disadvantages, primarily because internet penetration is not so great in India.

Do you remember how this brand called Pepsodent, and then Close-up affected the so called 'established' Colgate.

There was a time when Colgate had monopoly in toothpastes. The word Colgate was almost generic for toothpastes. Similar case is about Ujala- the fabric whitner from Jyothis Laboratories. It actually killed it competitor 'Robin blue' after a time when Robin was generic for whitners.

More on later, right now, have to leave. Bye.

Thanks for the knowledge Rohan :)

It's better to sign up such services with a junk ID.

When I was in 6th, some "dentists" came for a free dental check-up.
They had just a few dental instruments, and they used the same for each and everybody.
All of us made sure to wash our mouth throughly. Else, we might have got new infections. :-|

Waking this bit old thread to inform you that ...
I RECEIVED THAT FREE 1KG SURF YESTERDAY *www.lifeshore.com/smiley/data/media/2/3D_emoticon_79.gif

Interestingly I asked the courier guys the shipping charge and the Surf guys had to pay Rs170/- for the same. How good this ad campaign is and I wonder how they meet these costs..??
