How D2 approaches the workflow
Define sample eligibility before opening requests. Prioritise creators with strong product fit, approve deliberately, track shipment and delivery, then monitor whether content is completed. A sample is a cost of acquisition and content production, so the brand should review fulfilment and outcomes rather than measure success by samples shipped.
How to make the decision
Use Free Samples when removing product-access friction is likely to unlock useful creator content. For products with high unit cost or limited stock, tighter creator qualification and Target Collaboration can reduce waste.
What this page does not claim
Receiving a sample does not guarantee a post or sale. Platform sample rules and fulfilment criteria can change, so operational teams should check current Seller Center requirements.
