TAKING PRODUCT ACTIVATION TO THE CUSTOMER'S DOORSTEP

Sampling has always been an important promotional tool for any CPG brand trying to break into consumers’ long-established buying behaviors. But, conventional Product Sampling methods (think supermarket canopies) involved substantial costs and were not very effective because of the ‘spray and pray’ approach. Besides being non-targeted, they lacked valuable consumer data insights. COVID-19 only intensified the shortcomings of traditional sampling methods, with 78% of consumers unwilling to try samples (or touch testers!) in-store.

As Shopify's Chief Product Officer, Craig Miller, said when the COVID-19 pandemic began "it almost became 2030 overnight." Brands who used to count on in-store sampling and experiential marketing at live events were looking for ways to reach their target audiences, but now they wanted to target them ‘in-home.’ What were once nice-to-have digital brand capabilities became brand must haves overnight, including digital product sampling.
