free sample
Complimentary product portion
A free sample is a small portion of a product given away at no cost, typically to encourage future purchases.
Businesses offer free samples of food, cosmetics, or software to let potential customers try before buying: She grabbed a free sample of cheese at the grocery store.
The strategy relies on reciprocity—people who accept something free often feel inclined to buy.
