Product sampling – what are the things to avoid?

We recently posted our Seven Sins of Sampling on the BEcause blog (summary below), but would love to hear from anyone who’d like to share their own experience. What are your big ‘don’ts’ when it comes to sampling? 1. Missing the target If you don’t put the sample in the hands of people who are likely to go on to buy, it is wasted. An obvious point, you’d think, but one that is so often overlooked. It’s not about sampling the maximum number of people – they’ve got to be the right people to be of value. 2. Forgetting the bigger picture Don’t JUST sample and forget that everything around that sampling experience reflects on your brand. Bland giveaways simply devalue your brand. 3. Badly trained staff Staff that are disinterested, badly presented or lacking in product knowledge leave a bad taste in consumers’ mouths. Hardly the ideal starting point for a food or drink sampling campaign. Don’t let bad people sour your campaign. 4. Unclear messaging If you ask someone “Do you want a free chocolate bar?”, almost everyone’s going to say “yes”. But how does this help your brand stand out? Unclear, badly phased messaging will not help build brand recall. 5. Imperfect products Warm beer, melting chocolate or broken biscuits smack of brands that don’t really care about the quality of their products. If the moment of truth isn’t perfect, you’re wasting the precious little time there is to make a lasting impact. 6. Too much clutter All too often we see samples being handed out directly from cardboard packaging boxes, or discarded packaging littered around sampling sites. Not only is that messy and careless, it almost looks like a desperate last-minute idea to shift some extra product. 7. Forgetting what comes next Some brands forget that a sample has the potential to be the start of a lasting brand relationship. Failure to think about the next step of engagement and any spark of consumer desire will very quickly fizzle out. Read the full article here - Seven Sins of Sampling
