When you go to a shop, after your buying, sometimes the salesperson gives you something as their free gift to persuade you to come back there again. We call it 'eshantiun.' For example if you buy a laptop the salesperson gives you a free flash driver or something else.

Exactly, but it's not always among their products, so can I call it a sample? Sometimes they give you a free toy or something interesting or anything just for fun.
Can I still call them sample?

You could use freebie.

Freebie or free gift.
