-When an organization aims to provide potential customers a taste of its offerings—whether it’s a new protein bar, artisanal soaps, or a prototype gadget—it can choose two main approaches. +If a business seeks to offer prospects a sample of its products—such as a fresh protein bar, handcrafted soaps, or  [[https://postheaven.net/iotmachineinvest/smart-vending-units-unlocking-advertising-revenue|トレカ 自販機]] a prototype device—it has two primary routes.
