Why Product Sampling Works

The tactile nature of product delivery means sampling campaigns create a strong emotional engagement with the recipient.

Delivering a memorable on-brand experience to your customers will encourage them along the purchasing path to buy your product.

  • Try it: Product trialling is the timeless principle behind product sampling. For your target audience, it is a no-risk way to experience a product. 
  • Buy it: 73% of consumers say they’re likely to buy a product after sampling it. Just 25% feel the same way after watching a TV commercial.
  • Repeat: 77% say that sampling one product will make them want to try more products from the same brand.
