Contacting Companies Part II

I've had a few responses to my "Contacting Companies" post, THANK YOU! I wanted to share a few of the questions that I have received in response to that, and my answers as well.

Could I post a sample letter that I use to contact these companies?

Of course! Just tweak this as needed:

Hello, I am writing to let you know how much our family loves your [PRODUCT]! Even my 2 year old, who is very picky, eats them all up and asks for more. If you happen to have any coupons available for [PRODUCT], I would really appreciate it. We are a one-income family, on a budget, and I use coupons whenever I can. Again, thank you for offering a great product that my picky children love! Best Regards, [YOUR NAME].
Could I post the results of who sent me coupons and who didn't?

I will try my darndest to post the results, but being a mom of 2 and a forum leader of 6 different forums, sometimes it's hard to do everything I'd like to do. I promise I will try to post the results of each and every one of the companies, but I cannot guarantee this.

Could you add these companies in too... ?

Of course, just use the contact me link on the right side of this page and let me know what you'd like added. I'd be more than happy to make this an even better list with your help.

Enormous List of Companies to Contact


I've scoured through some of the old posts at WUC, and found a giant list of companies you can contact for freebies/coupons. Just us the "contact us" form and ask to be placed on the mailing list so that you can receive coupons. I am still going through all of the links, so please let me know if there is a link that isn't working. Here they are:

Article

I recently wrote an article for WUC and it's on the home page right now!!! You can go see the original article here and if you decide to sign up (I highly recommend it), tell them sweetpea101506 sent you

Here's a repost:

Contacting Companies/Manufacturers

A few years back, I never thought that I would call a company for anything other than a complaint about their product. However, now I call more often for positive reasons without any hesitations.

What I've learned is that many companies would rather hear about your good experiences than the bad ones. And in most cases, they'll reward you for contacting them, whether it be through a free sample or even some coupons.

Many times, I've gotten coupons for free products just for making a quick phone call or email. It's very easy to do. Here's a few steps to get you started:

1. Write down a list of products you use most frequently (go through your cabinets even)
2. Get those products and find the 800 number on the back of the product (or google for their website)
3. Contact them and tell them why you love their products so much (you don't even have to ask for coupons, but you could if you'd like)
4. See how quickly your mailbox fills up with goodies!

Usually, most companies will allow you to call every 30 days to ask for coupons. This will differ from company to company. You could even keep a list of who you've contacted and when, this way you'll remember who sent you what and who you shouldn't bother with.

So, go give it a shot! What's the worse that can happen?
