Today I received a shipment from an online store that I purchased some items from. When I opened the package I was kind of surprised as there seemed to be a lot more stuff than I had ordered. Upon further inspection it seemed like they included a lot of sample products in hopes that I would purchase these well in the future. It was also kind of interesting to see that they included their business card in it too.<\/p>\n

Makes me super curious as to how well this method has done for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
