Got too many work samples piling up – help! 😅

So my job is basically picking/selecting products for the company, and brands keep sending me 1-2 pieces of new stuff to try out (all brand new, never used by customers).

Problem is… I get way more than I can actually use 😂 Right now I have a bunch of skincare, makeup, gadgets, etc., sitting here taking up space.

Throwing them out feels wasteful, and I thought maybe I could sell them at a super low price (like 50-70% off original) on my Instagram/TikTok shop so they go to someone who’ll actually love them.

But I literally just started my accounts and barely have any followers yet 😭

Has anyone done something similar?

• How do you get the first followers when you’re selling discounted new stuff?

• Would you even buy something like this if it’s brand new but from a small reviewer?

• Any tips on pricing/photos/shipping?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

If you’re curious what I have right now, I’m posting everything on my IG & TikTok – link in bio @Discounted.items(same handle on TikTok)

Thanks in advance friends 🫶
