Event sampling

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.
What's different about beverage sampling in New York.
New York moves faster than anywhere else and costs more than almost anywhere else. Street teams, retail takeovers and Javits trade shows all run on tight windows, and we cast local crews so you are not paying for hotels on top of Manhattan rates.
Every pour follows NY alcohol service rules, and every ambassador's certification is verified in Spark before they can claim a shift. Javits has union jurisdiction over much booth work. Sidewalk sampling and street teams need to follow city rules on obstruction and permits. Winter load-ins run slow, and subway commutes shape shift start times.
