Answer 4

well one way is you could say that you will advertise for them for a certain amount of time depending on what ur company is

Answer 5

For my favorite products or products I purchase frequently, I contact the 800 customer service number (usually printed on the back of the label).  I let the company know that I am a fan of their product and I always either receive some samples or really good coupons.  Plus, I am on their mailing list so from time to time, I will receive coupons and/or samples you never see in any of the Sunday ads in the mail.

Answer 6

Answer 9

I saw this when I was young, A sitcom i think its Give me a break or something like that.  They claimed to be an important  group and that they wanted satisfaction from a company.  They eventually got what they wanted.    I think your honest approach is the best, just tell them what you are doing.
