Grocery + club demos

Distributor programs
Demos scheduled with your distributor and accounts, with one report the brand and the distributor can both use.
What good retail demos looks like.
A retail demo has about thirty seconds to turn a passing shopper into a buyer. We cast ambassadors who are comfortable starting conversations, train them on the product and the shelf location, and log every sample and sale during the shift so the store and the brand see the same numbers.
What's different about retail demos 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.
Food sampling follows local health rules, with food-handler certified ambassadors where required. 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.
