Frequently asked questions

Can a beverage brand staff field marketing programs in all 50 states?

Yes. We staff in all 50 states with in-market crew. For alcohol-adjacent or alcohol categories, we deploy TIPS / TABC / RBS-certified ambassadors where state law requires.

How do you track samples and conversions?

Every shift logs sample counts and (where retail permits) trial-to-purchase data through Spark, our in-house platform. You get same-day numbers, not week-old guesses.

Do you handle cold-chain logistics?

Yes. For chilled product programs we coordinate iced transport, on-site coolers, and pour-temp protocols so the sample tastes like the SKU.

Single market: 5–10 business days standard, 48 hours rush. Multi-market (10+ cities): 2–4 weeks for full briefing and crew readiness.
