Free Sample Reward Template

Use this template to offer a free sample in exchange for a verified action.

It is perfect for kickstarting adoption with a low-friction product trial, capturing addresses for fulfillment, and gathering early feedback on the user experience.

Prospects complete your required step → the widget confirms the free sample → you ship and optionally follow up with a bonus offer to turn a product test into a first purchase.

Maximize Trial-to-Purchase

  • Set expectations: state eligibility, regions, and delivery timelines up front

Optimization Tips

  • Keep one mandatory action to minimize friction; collect extra details in User Details.
