Procter & Gamble offers free product samples through its P&G Everyday Solutions website.

Free samples offer a no-cost way to try out new products. Procter & Gamble offers product samples for free though a program called P&GbrandSAMPLER. Registration is simple, and subscribers can request a different set of samples every month. Follow these two simple steps to get free samples from Procter & Gamble.

Step 1: Sign up as a Member of P&G Everyday Solutions

Individuals interested in receiving free samples of Procter & Gamble products must first register on the P&G Everyday Solutions website (see link below). The P&GbrandSAMPLER is a benefit of this free membership.

Registrants are asked to provide a name, address, age, and information about their children (number of children and their ages). Registrants may also be asked to rate how often they use certain products. This currently includes the following products: Cascade automatic dishwashing detergent, Bounce fabric softener, Bounty paper towels, Charmin toilet tissue, CoverGirl products (blush, foundation, makeup, nail polish, lip gloss, etc.), and Olay facial moisturizer. Registrants then have the opportunity to upload a profile photo or choose from one of the images provided (butterfly, leaf, snowflake, etc).

Step 2: Request Free Samples

Follow these steps to request free samples from Procter & Gamble after becoming a member of P&G Everyday Solutions:

  • Log in to the P&G Everyday Solutions website using the email address and password from the registration process.
  • Click on the P&GbrandSampler link on the right side of the page.
  • Check the box beside each sample being requested, make choices between products where indicated, and answer qualifying questions if necessary.
  • Submit the online request for free samples.

Note that some samples will be available to everyone whereas others are only available to those who can actually use them (for instance, the current promotion for Prilosec OTC asks how often you experience heartburn in order to determine if you qualify for a free sample).

If the direct link to P&GbrandSampler is not available on the main page, click on “Samples & Coupons” near the top center of the homepage, then look for the link to P&GbrandSAMPLER.

Enjoy the Free Products and Watch out for New Samples Every Month

The registration process results in a subscription to the P&G Everyday Solutions email newsletter. Each month, Procter & Gamble will use this newsletter to announce which samples are available for request. In addition to sample alerts, the email newsletter will also preview features available on the P&G Everyday Solutions website. On the website, individuals can currently find articles like New Baby? 6 Quick Survival Tips and 5 Earth-Friendly Activities the Kids Will Love, register for sweepstakes, find out when the next P&GbrandSAVER coupons will appear in the Sunday newspaper, learn about special P&G initiatives like the Give a Meal program, and, of course, request free samples.

Possible Free Products: From Free Makeup to Free Shampoo

In early November 2008, the free samples are for Pantene Pro-V Expressions shampoo and conditioner, Tide Total Care laundry detergent, and Prilosec OTC (subject to qualification).

Although Procter & Gamble doesn’t release a list of upcoming samples, based on the products registrants are asked to comment on during the sign up process, it most logically follows that the free samples will include makeup, face wash or moisturizer, laundry detergent or fabric softener, dishwashing detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and makeup; however, all Procter & Gamble products are fair game, and many new products will likely be market tested through this process.
