Abc7 Friday Free Stuff And Promotional Offers In December 2019

The provided source material details specific promotional activities and community events associated with ABC7 during December 2019. The information focuses primarily on two distinct consumer offers: a limited-time product giveaway and a community donation drive. Additionally, the sources describe various holiday-themed events and minor promotional discounts available in the Houston and Southern California areas during that time period.

One of the most significant consumer offers identified in the source data was a free product giveaway hosted by The Clever Travel Companion. This offer was promoted during the "Finney's Friday Free Stuff" segment on ABC7's "7 On Your Side" program in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company offered 100 free pairs of underwear to viewers. According to the source, the response to this segment was immediate and overwhelming, with the website receiving hundreds and thousands of visitors within minutes of the segment airing. The source explicitly states that the 100 free pairs were claimed very quickly and the offer was sold out. Following the exhaustion of the free inventory, the company extended a discount offer to those who missed the freebie, providing a discount code for 15% off an order. The source does not provide specific details regarding the type of underwear, shipping costs, or eligibility requirements beyond being a viewer of the segment.

Another major event associated with ABC7 in December 2019 was the "Spark of Love Toy Drive Stuff a Bus" event. This was a charitable initiative celebrating its 27th anniversary, organized by ABC7 in collaboration with Southern California Firefighters. The event took place on Friday, December 13. It involved a call for community members to drop off new, unwrapped toys to benefit children in need of Christmas cheer. The event was physically located at a bus stop where hundreds of people dropped by to donate. One of the corporate participants in this event was Landsea Homes, a homebuilding company. A representative from Landsea Homes, Tom Baine (President of the SoCal division), appeared on ABC7 to discuss the company's involvement, emphasizing their commitment to community involvement and giving back. This event was not a free sample distribution for consumers, but rather a donation drive where consumers provided goods to a charitable cause.

Beyond these specific product offers and charity drives, the source material includes a list of various holiday events and minor promotions associated with ABC7 or the general holiday season in December 2019. These events appear to be community gatherings rather than direct free sample programs.

In the Houston area, several events were noted. These included holiday movie screenings at public spaces such as the Market Square in Downtown and Discovery Green. Specific movies mentioned included "The Grinch" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." While viewing the movies was free, the source notes that attendees could bring blankets or chairs. Additionally, a "Christmas Boat Lane parade" was scheduled in the Clear Lake area, featuring over 100 decorated boats. Another event mentioned was "Lights in the Heights," a neighborhood festival featuring music and entertainment from seventy volunteer groups.

Several minor promotional offers were also listed in the source data. A theater in the West Houston and Tomball area offered free admission in exchange for three canned goods. This was likely a food drive promotion associated with a holiday show. Additionally, a specific mention was made of Sugar Land Town Square offering complimentary gift wrapping by the Hightower High School Band. Regarding digital offers, the source mentions Mixbook.com, an online service for custom photo cards. A coupon code ("10freecrds") was noted to provide ten free custom holiday cards. However, the source explicitly states that shipping and taxes would apply to this offer, meaning the cards were not entirely free of cost.

The source material also describes the general programming available on ABC7 during this period. The network offered 24/7 live news streams and various specialized channels, including a channel dedicated to documenting car chases and another focusing on true crime stories. While this programming is part of the ABC7 service, it does not constitute a free product sample or physical promotional offer for consumers.

It is important to note the limitations of the provided source material. The data is fragmented and consists of various unrelated snippets, including a blog post, a press release, a general website description, and archived event listings. There is no comprehensive list of all free samples offered by ABC7 in December 2019. The only verified free product sample mentioned is the Clever Travel Companion underwear offer. The other entries are event announcements or minor discounts that require an action (such as donating food or paying for shipping) to redeem.

Furthermore, the source material does not provide information on how to sign up for future ABC7 free stuff segments, nor does it list specific beauty, baby care, or pet product samples that might have been available through other channels during that time. The "Finney's Friday Free Stuff" segment appears to be a recurring feature, but the specific dates and products for other weeks in December 2019 are not included in the provided text.

In summary, the primary free sample opportunity associated with ABC7 in December 2019 was the Clever Travel Companion underwear giveaway, which was extremely limited in quantity and claimed almost instantly. The network also heavily promoted the Spark of Love Toy Drive, a charitable event. Various community holiday events and minor conditional offers (such as free admission for canned goods) were also present in the local ABC7 coverage areas.

Conclusion

The provided source data confirms that ABC7 facilitated at least one direct free sample offer in December 2019 through its "Finney's Friday Free Stuff" segment, featuring 100 free pairs of underwear from The Clever Travel Companion. This offer was highly competitive and sold out rapidly. The network also served as a primary broadcaster for the "Spark of Love" toy drive, a charitable event encouraging donations of new toys. Other "free" activities mentioned, such as movie screenings and community parades, were event-based rather than product sample distributions. Consumers seeking specific free samples (e.g., beauty or health products) during that time would have needed to watch specific segments of the ABC7 news or visit the websites of participating brands directly, as the provided data does not offer a comprehensive directory of such offers.
