Free stuff competition

Thomas_S_Hunterson

Not quite sure if this is the right place for this but anyway...

I'm currently in 5th year, and in my business class we are havin a bit of a competition. Basically we have to write to various companies, for information regarding their business etc. our ultimate goal being to get free stuff from them, and whoever gets the most free stuff wins!

I was just wondering if anyone has done anything similar to this and knows of any companies that are 'generous'. We came up with the likes of Coca Cola, Cadburys and Diageo (fingers crossed)

Thanks

Good man, nice to see the "community spirit"

Dave!

What a cool idea

You could be innovative and make a business out of this... Get the stuff for free off the companies, then sell it in school, and it's all profit

Hmmm and target the same companies repeatedly under aliases I like..

Try toothpaste companys?? My friend works in a dentist and they always give out free samples of tooth pastes and mouth washes!!

Also try bodyform or tampax!!... When we were in school they came around and gave us a talk and they gave us free samples!!... haha.... we were in 4th or 5th class and just stuck them to eachothers backs n stuff!!:o

haha... Also try other cosmetic companies and soap places n stuff.... i'd say they would be more likely to give out free stuff!!!

.... If there is a really good prize for getting the most stuff.... you could always buy loads of small things and pretend that the companies sent them to you??? mwoahahahaha <evil laugh>

There is a website online (forget the name) that gives you all the companies that give you all free stuff. For example Disney will send you a free video, or (at that time) Disney postage Stamps for free.

If you actually made any money, you'd be ****ed from a height. Most stuff would be marked as "not for resale".
