>>I would like to know why sample greenhouses are almost impossible
to get when companies give other items that are similar in
cost.
I can't speak for any greenhouse manufacturers (I just
write books about gardening in greenhouses), but the cost of the average
greenhouse is much higher (with few exceptions) than most any other items that I
have been given to sample. Greenhouse companies are at a bit of a disadvantage
compared to someone offering a $10 - $20 tool, seeds, books or plants.
I think these companies know that most writers don't
want to pay for what they sample.
However, they have been known to supply a
few free greenhouses on occasion.
If you directly contact the greenhouse manufacturers
with quality garden communication credentials and a sincere interest,
they may provide you with a sample greenhouse. Like any business, it is all
about targeting and staying profitable.
As far as other products, I too appreciate a post card
or e-mail notification requesting my interest prior to being sent a product to
sample. It only makes good sense because in the end it helps them to
better target their publicity.
