Compared to regular cosmetics, samples are increasingly accepted by consumers due to their convenience and light weight. These samples have become a favorite carry-on item for beauty-conscious women when out and about.
However, recently, there have been frequent reports online and on television news claiming that samples are expired and that they are different from the full-size products. Are these claims true or false? Are samples really different from our full-size products?
Currently, a large portion of the samples we receive as gifts lack foil to prevent the product from being exposed to air. When accepting such samples, we should pay close attention to their appearance and smell. If anything seems amiss, we should refuse them immediately. At the same time, we should also pay close attention to the production date on the sample packaging. Don't fall into the trap of unscrupulous merchants just because it's cheap.
Some people also say that the proportion of counterfeit samples is far lower than that of full-size products. The reasoning on the first floor is absolutely correct. When it comes to counterfeiting, have you ever seen a counterfeit 100-yuan bill compared to a counterfeit 1-yuan bill?
Therefore, the vast majority of samples simply don't have a profit margin for counterfeiting because they're already very cheap! Note that it's the vast majority!
Each distributor needs to calculate their own profit. Although brands don't allow the sale of samples, giving them away for free yields very limited profit. Selling samples directly reduces costs, especially in the face of the current impact of e-commerce.
When distributors can't negotiate a lower price for full-size products, they'll ask brands to provide as many samples as possible! This indirectly reduces costs!
