TheAlmightyClaw Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I was never confirmed, but I was like the 4-6 person to reply after e-mailing them my address (It was the second one I sent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaqseemHookahs Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 We have sent over 40 samples already and stopped. We are no longer sending samples. Until this day we are getting emails everyday about the samples. The email list for samples is huge now so please notice we stopped sending samples out at the moment.As far as mushrat, you were added on the business owner list for samples, which is much more bigger then the above. I’ll check on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopooshaboo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So they sent out 40 samples, and we have what, 4 reviews? Seems to me that a lot of them were sent to people skimming the forum who never post here, ie lurkers. Note to next vendor offering free samples: If the point of offering the samples is to get the word spread around the forum and your product reviewed, make sure you are getting samples to established members who have been here more than a day or two and who have more than 3 posts. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkag Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I never got confirmed but I received a sample and threw down a review too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopooshaboo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 And I appreciate it. It just frustrates me when people who don't really ever post (let alone have an account registered) get those samples, you know? I mean, you'd think with 40 samples out we'd see more than 4 flippin' reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkag Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah I know what you mean, Im sure a few will pop up eventually from the sample revievees But that stuff is good, almost smoked up all 250g now Its most of my friends favourite shisha I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anathema Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Um since it's free samples, I don't think they would choose just forum members since it was an "email" not a "pm" on the forum. If it was a PM on the forum, it'd be different.Emails can be from anyone, so all someone needs is two emails and a friend's address.For the record, I never got a sample even when I emailed "sales" after the post about sending out 10 more samples.Imo, your sales@yoursite.com is flooded with these sample requests because you should have told people to pm you instead but that would take more work on your part to relay that information to shipping.

chinamon Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 i never got confirmed and i never got a sample so its probably due to the fact that i live in an igloo in canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutshell Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) My friends and I last year built a quinzy(A lot like an igloo) and smoked our hookah in there. It was so fun. When it snows we are doing it again this year.A little off topic I know.I didn't even know they were giving out free samples but I just bought three of their flavors(After sex, Orange Creme delight, and Sour apple) so I will be posting reviews when I get them.

Lounge owners and companies!This is a true statement for the most part. However, when you are trying to establish brand recognition, it's a really good idea to offer samples to typical consumers. The smokers that receive samples and let their friends try them will then go to the lounges and say "Do you have any Tonic?" and the more the lounge owner hears this, the greater the odds he starts carrying it. Not to mention the end consumer ordering large amounts from shops or online. Heck, most of my ma'ssal purchases come from reviews on this very site. I haven't gone wrong yet... except for Tangiers, which I am too stupid to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaqseemHookahs Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Guys, you are totally right. we should have sent the samples based on pm not emails. I am 100% sure we got many people outside of the forum as so little reviews. We are doing the business list now and we might do this again in the near future.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
