The Sampler is a super-cool marketing and promotional tool for indie businesses. If you have an indie art or craft business, record label or zine, and you can send us at least 25 product samples, you can be in The Sampler!

Each month, we gather up the many, many wonderful samples and promo items and pack them into stacks and stacks of little white boxes.

We’d like to be able to send Samplers to everyone, everywhere, but, for now, we send the boxes to three types of people:

Subscribers: folks who pay for their Samplers on Subscription Day!

Contributors: A perk of contributing to the Sampler is receiving one, for free, in return!

Media: We’ve developed a select list of Media Contacts who do a great job of helping us to promote the Sampler! 


If you’re interested in subscribing to the Sampler, be sure to keep an eye on The Sampler homepage for news about when subscriptions are available! Yes, the Sampler can be tough to get, but we like to think it’s worth it!

If you’re interested in promoting your handmade indie goodness by becoming a Contributor, you can find all the rules, regulations, tips, and encouragement here!

And finally, if you are a reporter, editor, or the next Charles Foster Kane, you might be eligible for a Media Sampler! Click here to read more about Media Samplers!
