The Sampler is a super fun marketing & promotional tool for indie businesses. Each month, independent crafters, artists, shops, zines and record labels who run web-based businesses send samples and promotional materials to a contribution pool here in Sampler Town. All the samples are photographed, posted to the site and then portioned out, packed into boxes and sent off to Sampler recipients, Contributors and members of the Media all over the world!
Want to see more of what's in store? We post info on every Sampler Contributor to the Contributors Page and images of every Sampler contribution in the Gallery -- both of which are updated several times a month!
No time to check the site for updates? Profiles and Sneak Peeks at Sampler Contributors come straight to your inbox through the magic of the Samplergram!
Samplers go on sale once a month! We announce the dates Samplers are available on the Sampler site, but also through the convenient email alert list you can sign up for below!

Due to the limited number of contributed samples, Samplers will not contain a sample from every single contributor. However, we do our very best to make sure samples are evenly and randomly distributed and that everyone gets some pretty cool stuff. Please remember that what you are receiving are SAMPLES of the artists' work! For actual products, please visit our Contributors' sites!
The Holiday Sampler (December/January), and Summer Sampler (June/July) count as a single Sampler each.
