It can be argued Starbucks’ success was partly built on sampling generously. Giving away free samples powerfully demonstrates to consumers the pride you have in your products.

They’re hoping to find that great product that fulfills their desire. By giving it away, you’re showing customers how sure you are they’ll love it and want it again and again.
