·  DOES IT COST?
No! The only thing it costs is the amount it costs to create your samples. Think of the cost of your product as the price you would pay for advertising. The items that you contribute will be sent to 150+ people a month. A 150+ people that would have never heard of your company until you donated the item for your advertising purposes. We sell out every single month! The more contributers the more boxes! We currently have over 8000 people on our mailing list. The reason they signed up is because they want to learn about businesses like yours. We aren't messing around! You aren't just blindly sending your samples to me and hoping that they end up in the hands of people that want them. They want to make purchases from business like yours!

·  DO WE GET PAID TO PARTICIPATE?
No, you do not get anything in return from donating your items.The money that the site gets from the sale of the boxes is left with the site as it covers the price of shipping your items out to our customers and also also for my time. I provide the customer base for you. If your items "WOW" the box buyers you are guaranteed sales! We also purchase advertising in major magazines during select months.

·  WHERE DO I SEND MY SAMPLES TO?
You should package your stuff up and send it to:

The Little Black Box
44066 W. McCord Dr.
Maricopa, AZ 85239

·  WHAT TYPES OF STUFF DO YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE IN THEIR BOXES?
We are open to all sorts of things! Previously there has been: candles, melts, votives, scrubs, soaps, lotions, perfumes, stationery, food, dog treats, teas, coffees, bath bombs, bath melts, cosmetics, hair care, gift certificates, coupon codes, magnets, pens, key chains, buttons, hair clips, necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, bookmarks. You should send in whatever you think personally suits your business and also what you think will blow the consumer away! Afterall, this is all about YOUR advertising needs. What do you think will make people want to order from you again?

·  WHEN IS MY BOX OF SAMPLES DUE TO YOU?
If you sign up and do not feel that you can follow through with your commitment please let me know. Businesses that sign up and have no contact with me and their samples do not show up will not be allowed to participate again. Due dates are as follows:

·  HOW MANY SAMPLES SHOULD I SEND IN?
How many samples you send in all really depends on what you can afford. We send out 150 boxes a month currently. The more samples you send in the more boxes they go into. That means more potential business for you as well.

·  HOW SHOULD THE SAMPLE BE PACKAGED?
Sometimes we have a theme going, but most of the time we don't. Usually you should package your sample like you would if you were giving it to a customer. Some people really like to go out of of their way to give their samples some extra flare! When the customers open their box you want them to go straight for your sample. You want to make them want to order your item in a full size because whatever it is that you did was amazing! Most contributers include coupon codes, business cards and such. I strongly suggest a coupon code of 15% or higher as people LOVE discounts and it creates word of mouth buzz. 

·  ARE THERE RULES FOR MY PACKAGING?
Yes! If you are sending in bath and body or food all ingrediants MUST be labeled properly. This is a legit online business and we only deal with online businesses that hold quality and care for their customers to the highest value. If packages show up here and are not labeled, leaking, not finished, broken, or in any way not appealing they will NOT go in the box. Not only am I advertising for your business but I am advertising for the other businesses that are in the box with you. Please make sure that everything is sealed properly and labeled correctly!
