Baby Freebies and Where To Find Them

A marvelous gift (on a shoestring) for a new Mom: Baby freebies!

If you’ve got a friend who’s just become a Mom – or a friend with a baby on the way, here’s a great gift idea that, while providing plenty of value and savings for Mom, won’t cost you anything but a bit of your time. So what’s the answer to this riddle? Baby freebies! Manufacturers of baby products know that once Mom uses and likes a product, she’s likely to stick with that product, rather than go with another untested product. (If it’s not broken, why fix it?) That’s why baby-related product companies go to great lengths to get Moms to try their products. This includes baby coupons, free samples and free copies of baby and parenting magazines, on a trial basis.

When you stop to think about all of the specialized products made just for babies, it’s staggering. Before baby’s out of diapers, Mom’s going to purchase – what – maybe ten thousand? There are baby shampoos, diaper rash creams, lotions, bath toys, baby food, blankets – the list is virtually endless. How about a diaper pail, wash cloths and towels? Bottles and nipples? So you can see that Mom’s got her hands full and a purse that can get seriously depleted in no time.

While she doesn’t have the time to go find all these baby freebies and money-saving coupons, you do! Do her a huge favor by getting online and tracking down some of the many websites that specialize in baby freebie offers. Don’t forget about the manufacturer’s sites, too.

When it comes to some of the bigger ticket items, like high chairs, strollers, playpens and changing tables, you’ll be surprised to find that manufacturers often offer substantial dollars off coupons, if you just take the trouble to find them!

One good strategy for obtaining baby freebies is to write the manufacturer of some of the more costly baby products, such as baby cribs and car seats and let them know that you’ve used their products in the past and would like to tell a friend who’s a new or expectant Mom to look into their products. Do they have any coupons or promotions that might encourage her to buy from them?

For example, there are now several brands of organic baby foods, all vying for their share of the market. See how many coupons you can gather for each brand. More and more Moms are using the organic baby foods, even though they’re more costly than the regular types. With several coupons in hand, Mom can try each brand for a discounted price and decide which baby likes best, while saving money on the grocery bill.

As you surf around searching out these deals, copy and paste the urls of these websites into a printable file to accompany a big fat envelope of baby coupons and a box full of baby freebies. With the research done, it’s then easy for Mom to follow up and keep a steady flow of baby freebies coming through the mail. What a great gift for Mom!
