Do You Think Sampling Plays A Crucial Role When It Comes To Promoting Products?

[Omotayo]

I think sampling could also be used to get research and marketing data from the customers. For example, you may provide free samples along with a questionnaire to the customers and ask them to rate the products and provide their feedback about the products. This will help you to get a better image of your product in the eyes of the customer.

Yeah sure. Some companies do this sometimes. It could be useful market data to shape the product to be launched. Not all companies do this. Most big companies don't even do this.

Sampling usually promotes businesses by showing the customers an example of what they want to buy, it is a very good way of advertising a product also because people are usually interested in what they see.

Sampling techniques strategy is very good to promote and sell products. It has way of giving prospective customers the sense of being appreciated. It has way of attracting customers and increase sales. But there should be limit to the amount of samples to avoid loss.

That is right. Customers love to see the real thing so that they can choose to buy it. Do showing it to them usually promotes the product highly so that they can come to your shop. Especially when you sample the best of your products.

You have made very good points. Sampling of products should be done in such a way that it attracts customers without reducing the value of the goods or products being promoted.

I have seen when people keep samples of what the create either in front of their shops or even online, so that any one that like what they create Can make an order from them or patronise them.

Sampling attracts. It's therefore a nice thing to do online too

Sampling certainly draws customers. I feel it is what is in vogue for most businesses. If I visit a market and I want to buy fish, it is from what is sampled that I would know if you have what I am looking out for, because there are other fish sellers too. So, sampling goes a long way in attracting customers.

Sampling is a 100% effective technique to promote your product.
If you do not reveal your products to the audience, how will they know such a product exists?
It is the product sampled that attracts a customer, one would feel that if the sample looks this good, then there would be no harm trying out the product.

It is a good idea to place samples in front of your shop to attract customers. As far as I know, many people are already following this strategy in my country. You can even place a stall in front of your shop and try to market your product.

Sampling is one the best way of marketing your product and by showing them how their product looks like in tasting and more, because most people prefer seeing and feeling what they are about to buy.

If you are launching a high-quality product, sampling can be an effective way to introduce your product. To be effective, samples should be provided to the product's target customers. This method is not only applicable to new products. It can also be used to call attention to and revitalize the sales of existing products. In large supermarkets, customers can usually expect free samples of various food products during weekends. This type of promotion often entices customers to buy these items.​

How do they promote products like shampoos? Do they allow people to try shampoo at supermarket by making them wash their hair? How does it work? Can you expalin?

I once saw a shampoo that had a small shampoo leaflet attached to it as a sample although that was a promo offer but at least it was a good strategy to gain customers.

Some companies even use old products for sampling purpose. I have seen a food company providing free samples of products that were already introduced in the market. This is a good strategy when you feel that the sales of old products are going down.

In most cases, it will be a reduction in the price or the increase in quantity by keeping the same price so in both cases there will be a reduction to the final client.

Of course,.sampling is a very good method of marketing your product and services. You would adopt this means of marketing campaign If you are sure of a good product. The sample Will convince the potential customers.

It's a very good form of marketing strategy used for the promotion of local products mostly used by business companies by the display of their qualities either to groups of people etc.

 

[tyrim88]

When it comes to promoting products sampling plays an important role because they're lots of people that would prefer to see samples or even use it before patronizing the product.

That is very true,especially when it comes to the promoton of new products,and that is where these kind of promotion usually works,because the customers would like to have a feel of what it is they are buying.

 

[Sincerem]

Well, you can expect someone to purchase a product they haven't seen or known what it look like. So in order to give your customers a glimpse into what you are selling then you should Sample your product.

 

[Smiles20]

Before using a product to the market it is very important that you should try to sample. This is going to give you an idea as to what people want and the kind of things that you can change before trying to open it fully.

Actually it has become one of the best policies and strategies that companies have been using to promote their products online or either through the social media platforms.
