>> HOW WE RUN IT

What good beverage sampling looks like.

Beverage sampling only works when trial turns into a purchase or a reorder. That means the right pour size, a certified crew that knows the liquid, and a count you can trust. We brief every ambassador on the product story and the ask, track pours and conversions per SKU, and report by account so your distributor sees what moved.

>> LOCAL KNOW-HOW

What's different about beverage sampling in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis is a retail and CPG headquarters market, home to major retailers and food brands. That makes it a smart place for retail demos, buyer events and corporate activations.

Every pour follows MN alcohol service rules, and every ambassador's certification is verified in Spark before they can claim a shift. Winter is long and cold, so most programs move indoors from November to March. Minnesota alcohol sampling needs certified staff.
