Hi there,
It is soooooooooooo hard finding decent freebies for my Canadian visitors. Here is a great batch of them from Oil of Olay. They actually send decent sample sizes of their products … and you can opt out of all the junk mail.
There are 2 samples available and about 7+ coupons and right now they are running a sweeps contest.

Yumm Tenderloin!
Here’s what we’re looking for:
Preparation methods: Send us your grilled, baked, fried or broiled favorites. Variety of dishes: We’ll consider main dish salads, stews, kabobs, stir-fries, casseroles, appetizers, sandwiches and any entree that puts tenderloin in the spotlight.
Prizes:
Three top winners, plus five runners-up. The winner whose recipe is judged “best of the best” and takes our Grand Prize will receive $500.00 in cash!
Second-place winner will cash in, too. The cook whose recipe takes the No. 2 spot will receive $250.00.
Third place: A Euro-Pro Convection Toaster Oven valued at $89.99. With its extra-deep dimensions, this countertop oven is big enough to bake pies, broil a whole chicken, or even cook a pizza (a pizza stone is included). But you’ll save on energy…and won’t heat up the whole kitchen when you use it.
Five runners-up. Each of these creative cooks will receive Taste of Home’s Quick-Fry Electric Skillet, valued at $24.99. At 7 inches, this handy appliance is sized just right for preparing meals for one or two.

WHY TISSUES?
Well - they’re not just for runny noses any longer! In fact, tissue pack marketing is all the rage in Japan where more than four billion packs with branded messages are given away annually! Pocket tissue advertising is a proven and effective way of targeting and reaching a very broad or highly targeted audience.
Already distributed in strategic venues such as banks, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and on the street, AdPack tissue packs are the ideal way to get face-to…well…nose with targeted consumers. With 10 tissues to a package, and the form factor larger and flatter than typical retail tissue packs, AdPack’s tissue packs stay with the consumer - creating impression after impression - until the product runs out. There is even room for an insert or a coupon to add further value to the consumer.
Tissue Tactics Contest is all about getting in your face! WE CHALLENGE YOU to create a compaign - using the pocket-sized tissue pack and insert as your canvas.
Simply design a campaign - for an existing brand - using the entire tissue pack and insert space and tell us how you would distribute it. Think out of the (tissue) box… use the top, bottom and side panels in creative ways. See below for guidelines and specifications and then submit your entry in PDF format.
