I represent a company that absolutely has the best anti-aging skincare available. If I am able to get a sample to a consumer and they use it 7 out of 10 times they buy it. I am doing awsome with my business, but I want to build my business larger quickly and I need to market alot of people who are looking for Safe products that are nothing like they have ever tried before. How can I get these samples into their hands? I have a company website but I am doing better myself just talking to people. Any suggestions I should also tell you that this is a product of a direct sales company but is physician quality and pharmeceutical grade.

It seems as though you're already in an online network marketing opportunity, but are more successful offline.

Perhaps if you had a video stream on DVD (of you "selling" your product), you could mass produce it, and just give them away.

Or package the DVD and the sample together, and set up a marketing campaign with a store to "play" the DVD near a display of the pre-packaged DVD & sample (with your contact info, ie. business card). The store could earn a percentage of sale, or you could just rent the space from them.

You could also advertise in newspapers/pennysaver for free samples.

Just be creative. Think of all the events/places that a large group of women (your target market) would be at.

Weddings, Bridal Showers, Baby Expos, etc.

Set up a marketing campaign for each one. It might be a kiosk at expos, free wedding (or party) favors, etc.

Well, hope this gets your creative mind working and that my post help you out!

Well-
I guess you are in cosmetics market. I think you should research what major cosmetic firms are doing to market their goods, and try to duplicate them. As far as I know, cosmetic firms use these tactics:
1-) They use associates to market their products. Associates are ordinary people who sells the products in return of a commision.
2-) They set up their own shops to sell their products. In this way, you can contact you customer more easily and thoroghly. A customer who does not know you would probably not buy from your website.
3-) They can sell via major cosmetic retailers. However, considering that you are a new firm, this is probably not an option, unless you have some really good contacts. Major retailers would not buy from an unknown, newly found firm.
4-) They sell via telephone and mail-orders. However, this option needs some legal advice. Different countries may have different codes on the sale of cosmetic products via these channels.

Thake care. I hope you good luck in your venture.

Websoulsurfer is right -- MLM is the sales channel you have to rely on.

You can also try to create a web-community of happy buyers so that they share their thoughts with website audience (your potential customers). You can set up a blog to let customers tell their stories about your product. Your Product Community will market your product for you.

Famouse examples of Community Marketing Power: Firefox, GMail, LinkedIn, Dove -- Campaignforrealbeauty.com...

And also you can use web to create virtual MLM Network.

Historically that type of product has done best when marketed using a MLM or Network marketing method.

Mary Kay, Nuskin, and many others have been successful using that marketing method.
