ARTISAN FOOD SAMPLING STAFF

At the start of 2018 we began working directly with Cottage Delight, providing in-store artisan food sampling staff. Our staff have represented the brand in Budgens, John Lewis, Lakeland and select garden centres.

Cottage Delight was founded in 1974 in Staffordshire, beginning with their handmade butter fudge. Since then the brand has only grown. They now retail jams, marmalades, curds, chutneys and table sauces. For 50 years the brand has prided itself on its traditional techniques, links with independent stores, environmental considerations, and customer loyalty.

We select staff with Level 2 Food Hygiene Certification for these bookings. All artisan food sampling staff are extensively briefed before each assignment. This ensures that they know all product ingredients (to prevent allergic reactions), how each sample should be stored and presented, and the brand story.

The brand also utilised our state-of-the-art reporting system. This allows Cottage Delight to view real time KPI’s, campaign photographs, and other important feedback. 

Additionally, most of Cottage Delight’s sampling activity takes place on the weekend, evenings and bank holidays. The brand therefore benefit from Push’s 24/7 support. We are available to make staffing amendments, answer questions, and support sampling events in real-time.
