Who doesn’t love getting mail? I’m not just talking about email or comments on your blog but the stuff you get in your mailbox. Minus the bills.

I look forward to checking the mail every day. Between all the catalogs, stuff from Ebay, and People magazine on Friday, checking the mail is almost like Christmas morning. I know, that’s a bit of exaggeration. It is exciting though to open the mailbox and find a thoughtful card from a friend or a check from my insurance company because I overpaid. Talk about making my day!

Another fun thing I get on a regular basis is samples and coupons from Vocalpoint which is a marketing service I joined back in February 2006. The Vocalpoint website offers relevant, provocative information about products and services. It’s a site to influence and learn from moms like us. There are message boards for expressing yourself, surveys for sharing your thoughts, and focus groups to attend. The best part is the samples and coupons that will be sent to you on a regular basis. I recently received a sneak peek DVD of Meerkat Manor and buy one get one free coupons for Vanilla Coke. That’s the other nice thing about Viewpoint. They send extra coupons for you to share with friends and family.

Signing up is easy and no worries about spam. Only a minute of your time to get you started on receiving valuable coupons and samples. Who doesn’t like getting free stuff? Especially without any strings or an obligation to buy something.
