PUSH’S SAMPLING STAFF
Our skilled, experienced & enthusiastic sampling staff are hired to work at a variety of promotional events & retail locations around the UK. They know how to get your product into the right hands- your target audience- thus converting them from the mere public into loyal customers!
SKILLED STAFF
Our database contains 3000+ staff who all have specific experience and knowledge. For example, we have staff with Level 2 Food Hygiene certification, as well as trained baristas, mixologists and bartenders. They are therefore perfect for food and drink sampling.
UK COVERAGE
Moreover, we hold annual interviews in major UK towns & cities to ensure that our staff database stays fresh & up-to-date. This also means that we often have local staff available- saving you money on staff transport & accommodation costs.
24/7 AVAILABILITY
Additionally, here at Push Promotions, we aim to be available to our clients at all times. If you need extra staff last minute, have briefing amendments, or have any general questions, we are there to lend a helping hand. We want your promotion to be stress-free.
FOOD & DRINKS SAMPLING
We have extensive experience sampling food and drink products across the UK. We understand the importance of allergies, presentation, and storing samples at the correct temperature etc. Our staff also have experience with more complex alcohol sampling, and sampling as part of a experiential interactive promotional campaign.
COSMETIC & FRAGRANCE SAMPLING STAFF
Furthermore, we provide cosmetic and fragrance sampling staff to department stores, high-street chains, train stations, beauty counters and more. Our staff engage in meaningful and memorable conversations with customers whilst distributing samples- creating lasting positive customer impressions.
EXHIBITION SAMPLING
Many of our clients have hired our product sampling staff to work at exhibitions and trade shows at venues such as The Birmingham NEC and London ExCel. Sampling is a great way to attract crowds at often bustling exhibitions, and allows customers to ‘try before they buy’. We can also provide general exhibition staff.
PUSH PROMOTIONS SAMPLING STAFF
Product sampling is perhaps unsurprisingly one of the best and most effective ways to promote your business. Offering the public the chance to actually engage with and try your product before purchase, not only reduces the number of customer refunds but creates a personal connection between the customer and brand.
Everybody prefers to try before they buy, and we all love a freebie! Making sampling the perfect way to promote your business. You can offer free samples of food, beverages, magazines, fragrances, cosmetics, CDs, and so much more! In fact, nearly every possible product can in some way be delivered as a free sample.
Additionally, you can offer samples simply to raise brand awareness. For example, a tooth care brand may giveaway free key rings with their logo on them. The company doesn’t actually sell key rings, but if people use this freebie, their logo will, in turn, be seen by more potential customers- increasing brand awareness.
The most commonly used branded promotional items are items such as key rings, wristbands, stress balls, bags of sweets, tote bags, etc.
Our Push Promotions team regularly distributes sample products at train stations, exhibitions, supermarkets, high-street stalls, and everywhere else in between. With offices in Birmingham and London, as well as our 3000+ staff database, we can provide staff nationwide and at short notice. We aim to provide local staff to save you money on staff transport and accommodation costs.
To ensure that we provide the right staff for your specific company, we undertake a thorough profiling phase. This consists of choosing product sampling staff with the right experience, location, and brand suitability. We have staff with experience in nearly all industries, for example, cosmetics, healthcare, cars, gaming and more. We also have staff with Food Hygiene Certification, as well as trained baristas, mixologists and bartenders. Therefore, we are highly likely to have a perfect team of staff to suit your brand.
A FEW SAMPLING CONSIDERATIONS
- Safety – When offering samples, extreme care must be taken to ensure the safety of the public. Allergy warnings, and all product ingredients (including tracings) should be easily and clearly available.
- Presentation of Samples – For samples to have the desired impact, they should be presented in prime condition, where they will taste/smell/look their best. Sufficient transport and presentation devices should therefore be considered.
- Temperature requirements – Certain samples will require storage at a certain temperature. For example, we have previously worked with an ice cream manufacturer at a country show where portable freezers had to be found to maintain optimal ice cream consistency.
- Environmental Hazard – When distributing samples, extra licences may be required from the council. Product sampling staff may be required to have relevant food hygiene certificates. Any food preparation equipment (e.g. freezers, gas hobs) also need to be able to pass safety checks.
