My Speech


Topic: The purpose of free samples
Just a normal day enjoying my drink at Starbucks, suddenly a wild tray appears! Filled with delicious cups of their newest product; taking a whiff at the smell makes me want to go buy a large. I quickly approach the table then realizes… There all gone! Feeling sad that I missed an opportunity of a life time: trying a godly drink from the famous Starbucks. Then I started to ponder… Why are they giving out free samples? This is what motivated me to write this speech.

What is the point of a free sample? Well, it is just a way for the company to get buyers by giving the customers a taste of what they have to offer. For example, the deodorant you received from the mail. The company does not give you free products because they feel like it; they give you their products because they want to get your attention. So next time you walk into a store, the first thing you notice will be their product. “Oh hey! Is not that the deodorant I received in the mail?” Your friends will either agree with you or think you’re weird because you use deodorant from the mail. On the other hand who does not like free stuff?

Is the sample really free? Consider the fact that not every sample is free. Think about how the company got enough money to make these samples for consumers. Most of the companies spend money on free samples hoping to get the attention of consumers. They are hoping that by grabbing your attention, you will buy their products and refer friends to do the same. The money comes from the company, kind of like investing in stocks. The company can gain consumers or they can lose consumers because their products are “not up to standards.”

In the end, it all becomes your choice if you want to buy the company’s product or not. Free samples are just another way for companies to introduce new items they created to test the quality of their work.
(need to work a little bit more on the conclusion)

  1. Jimmy your topic is really interesting. I never would have thought of a topic about free samples. Your speech is really well done but can we read over from little grammer or spelling mistakes like “Oh hey! Is not that the deodorant I received in the mail?” when it should be "Oh hey! Is that the deodorant i received in the mail?" just get rid of the "not". But all is well and this speech is terrific! Well written\typed.
