Sampling
Small sample, big impact

Samplings are particularly suitable for products from the food, cosmetics, personal care and hygiene sectors.

Samples can be distributed using PromoPost Private customers or PromoPost Private and business customers, PromoPost Single- and multi-family homes and PromoPost Saturday.

Contact your customer advisor in good time. Enter your order at least two weeks in advance via the “PromoPost Manager” online service. Before placing an order, ask your customer advisor or customer service to confirm the additional discount for sampling and include it in the order.

Ideally, the consignments should be delivered in bundles. If this is not possible, pack the samples in easy-to-calculate units (e.g. 10, 25, 50 or 100 items) in cardboard boxes. The cardboard boxes may not be larger than 390 x 255 x 183 mm.

The list prices for the individual products and special consignments apply. You can find the detailed prices in the “PromoPost Private customers or Private and business customers” (PDF, 67.4 KB) and “PromoPost to selected target groups” (PDF, 105.9 KB) factsheets.

We charge a surcharge for consignments that do not conform to the standard and generate higher costs.

You benefit from an additional discount for the sending of unaddressed samples. This is based on the consignment quantity per order:

If you have a separate brochure in addition to the samples, you will receive an additional discount on both orders.

Promotional gifts are not considered samples. We charge the price of the selected PromoPost product plus any surcharge for special consignments.

The fee for posting consignments directly is CHF 4.50 per 1,000 consignments at a letter center, and CHF 3.00 per 1,000 consignments at a logistics center. The effective acceptance point is used.

A minimum amount of CHF 75.00 applies to each mailing. For mailings that do not reach this amount, we will charge the difference to the minimum amount.

Special requirements apply to the mailing of samplings. Please refer to the “PromoPost specifications” factsheet (PDF, 289.4 KB) under Documents.
