Explore. Connect. Sample Something New.
The makers featured in the 2025 Try & Buy Sample Showcase have done something generous: they’re putting product into your hands at no cost because they believe in what this community stands for.
Every sample in this showcase is available to stores that haven’t ordered from that line before. Supplies are limited, and we expect high demand. Once a sample runs out, we’ll do our best to start a waitlist, but your best bet is to get your requests in early.
This is more than just a chance to try something new. It’s a moment to build new vendor relationships, discover products with real sell-through potential, and take advantage of added savings. Several vendors are offering exclusive discounts on early orders placed through this program.
You’ll find a wide range of categories and price points here. From gifts and books to self-care and seasonal, each offering has been selected with hospital and pharmacy retail in mind.
Here’s how it works:
- Sample requests open September 15th and close September 30th
- Samples are only available from vendors you have never purchased from before
- All samples will ship by October 14th
- You’ll find the request form below the vendor features
Take a few minutes to explore the showcase. Then let these makers know you’re excited about what they’re offering.
Let’s give them a response that reflects the strength and spirit of this community.
To make it easy to navigate, the showcase is divided into two sections:
- The first group includes vendors offering a complimentary sample plus an extra 5% discount on any order you place by December 1st.
- The second group features vendors offering a complimentary sample along with their standard PPP Discount.
