Align Samples Ship Today

I agreed, I believe, to receive free samples of Align, the Proctor & Gamble probiotic that’s currently showing up in ads on many web sites. It seems that personal blogs, such as ForMyTummy (this blog), Life in a Bathroom, and utenzi at Blogspot have received offers of free samples of Align. We are to take it and presumably report favorably on our blogs, or at least report and use the name Align.
Viral Marketing
This is a marketing strategy known as viral marketing–create the buzz using low cost means, the buzz will create desire, the desire will sell the product. Well, utenzi and I are participating in the buzz-creating.
To quote Utenzi Blog (link creation is failing me just now: the URI is http://utenzi.blogspot.com/2007/06/ibs.html) of June 8, 2007:
I had a comment on a post the other day from a person purportedly at an Ad Agency with an offer of a free IBS product from Proctor and Gamble. Of course the first thing you think with a comment like that is that it’s Blog Spam. However in this case the comment seemed legit since the Email address wasn’t hijacked and it was to a legitimate Ad Agency (Bridge Worldwide) with P&G as a client.
I had the same approach in the same way.
What is it?
Align is a single-bacterium probiotic that is lactose-free, but is based on milk protein. I have actually been taking a probiotic for six months that, now that I read the label, also has some of its 15-bacteria composite grown/made/based on milk protein, so I am fairly comfortable with the idea now.
The Free Two-Month Sample
My correspondent from the publicity agency—there’s a copy of her email here, as a comment—indicated that my sample would be shipped today. I am setting up a countdown to whenever I have it in hand. Then there will be a let-down before I can report, since I want to check with my doctor on the wisdom of abandoning something I know works, in order to try this.
The Align Web Site
The online site for Align is http://www.aligngi.com/.
They do much more than other probiotic supplements in laying a foundation of scientific studies for their product, and also provide supportive materials such as a 28-day diary, and a FAQ.
So while you and I wait to try it out, we can check it out. Also, if you check it out and want to try it, there are several $5-off coupon deals available on the web.
my doctor recomnded i try this product i would like some free samples or coupons to buy it
Hi, Charlie, Thanks for your comment. I’ve sent you the $5 discount code that you can use when you purchase Align at the AlignGI web site. All the best, Tummyblogger
