What are the Sampling use cases?

  • How to use Sampling for product launches

    Launch smarter. No one wants to buy a new product until they know people like it. Collect reviews and feedback from your community before you launch with a sampling campaign. Meet shoppers where they are — whether it be in-store, on social media, or on your website — and show up armed with reviews, photos, and videos. When Burt’s Bees announced its new cosmetics line, it launched with 300+ reviews and a glowing 4.48-star rating. Build up and sustain excitement across social media with ample UGC on day one.

  • How to use Sampling for reigniting and refreshing core SKUs

    UGC recency matters. 81% of consumers consider review recency equal to or more important than the quality of reviews on a product. In fact, 58% of consumers would rather purchase a product with fewer, but more recent reviews. Revitalize advocacy for your brand’s core products with sampling. Identify legacy products that could use an injection of fresh content and launch a sampling campaign. For example, French luxury skincare company Clarins revitalized its anti-aging products by using sampling to collect 138 reviews in just 36 days.

  • How to combat fake reviews with Sampling

    With the introduction of the FTC’s review hijacking legislation, reformulating your product isn’t just about tweaking its features. It’s about ushering it into the market as if it’s an entirely new line. This evolving regulatory landscape presents unique challenges, including the daunting task of resetting your review count and content collection to zero. But instead of seeing this as a setback, look at this as your brand’s new starting line.
    Reinvent, reformulate, re-engage. Trust us to amplify your product’s new story.
