Sample meaning
In the past, before major brands entered the China market, foreign cosmetic brands began to be popular with "samples". At that time, most of them were pieces (small plastic bags), only enough for 1 to 7 times to let you feel its color, fragrance, quality, moistening and so on.
You can ask at the counter, then get a sample for free, or find a small piece on the advertisement page of a magazine and stick it on it. Sample sample, as the name implies, is a sample trial, which is no different from those "tasty" food promotions in supermarkets.
At that time, cosmetics consumers in Europe and America were mostly simple. When they try something they like, they will rush to buy it, and their brand loyalty is high. The "sample strategy" of cosmetics manufacturers is very effective.
When these samples were introduced in Japan, they encountered many setbacks. Japanese women are more demanding than European and American women, and people begin to complain that these samples are just for people to try the fragrance and texture, and they can't try the real effect, so they take it out on the genuine ones.
Japanese big-name manufacturers launched exquisite bottled samples at the right time, which looked very beautiful, many of them were genuine miniature versions, and immediately touched Japanese girls who were keen on exquisite gadgets.
Gradually, European and American brands began to make bottled samples and give them to customers who bought their own products for trial use. Customers who come for free still send samples one by one.
