Distributing free samples is a costly sales promotional tool. A much larger percentage of the market will try a free sample than will redeem a coupon, which induces trial much faster. The high cost of free samples makes them a profitable sales promotion only for products that are either frequently re-purchased or those with very high contribution margins.
