Why Do Companies Give Away Free Samples?

Companies give away free samples to get people to try their products. Imagine you're at the grocery store, and a person gives you a tiny bar of chocolate. You eat it, and you really like it. Now you might think, 'I should buy this chocolate next time.' That's exactly what companies hope for! Free samples are like little taste tests that help people decide if they want to buy more of something.
