We Design your Demo Strategy to Complement your Brand’s Vision

Today’s specialty food brands need to be so much more than just delicious. They need heart, authenticity, and strong values that relate to all consumers. At Demos by Design we ensure that your brand’s values connect with your customers. We work with your marketing team to understand how to communicate your brand’s vision and story. We then custom design your demo program based on your brand’s vision and marketing specifications to ensure optimum results for sales and brand awareness.

We are Passionate about your Brand

The coordination of your demo programs involves many different moving parts such as inventory confirmation, marketing collateral, training of Brand Ambassadors, supplies for demos and coordinating with retail stores. We manage all of this for you to maximize impact, efficiency, and results. Our highly trained passionate and knowledgeable team delivers on-point creative and engaging events to create memorable connections for your customers. We ensure that your demos are targeted and become an integral part of your brand’s journey and marketing roadmap.

Successful In-Store Food Sampling & Demos

Successful food sampling programs can boost sales, educate shoppers, and build community support for your brand and your retailers. Your customers will enjoy the free sample, the friendly smile and the pleasant platter that helps them understand the product and your brand’s story. Putting on a successful food demo is a little like throwing a party to celebrate your customers.

We develop your program with careful planning and coordination to allow your guests to enjoy an amazing, experience focused on your brand.

Your Brand Front and Center

At Demos By Design, our primary goals are to increase sales and increase
shopper knowledge.

Here are some ideas around building your Demo Program:

  • Popular items: to build on success of an already popular item
  • New items: to provide shoppers with a low risk and easy way to sample new items
  • Seasonal: sweet corn in August, champagne in December, etc.
  • Nutritionally superior: to educate the customer about health building foods
  • Abundant: to help move a well stocked item out the door
  • Featured item: to draw attention to product featured in advertising
  • Promote a storewide marketing food theme – eg. “Buy Local Week”
  • Fun foods at predictable times: to build camaraderie between store and customer, for example “Happy Hour” from 5-7 on Fridays

Another goal of in-store sampling is to provide enjoyable human interactions. Don't underestimate this one! Even the busy person who dashes past with a shake of the head likes being invited. Almost everyone is flattered that you would offer to help them build their health or to expand their menu. And for some folks, the chance to snack and visit with you may be the highlight of their day!

We are an Extension of Your Team

At Demos by Design our in-store sampling strategy works with your marketing strategy to convert consumers into customers. We become an extension of your marketing team. We implement and track key details about the demo and ensure we convert potential customers not only into actual customers but also independent brand ambassadors to share your brand’s story with their network of friends and family. These become word of mouth ambassadors who will spread your brand through their passion for your product alone. We ensure your program with us can be an exponential growth strategy for your brand.

Did We Say Social?

You crafted your brand, so let us help craft your demos. We love to share your stories and the demos we do on social media. The social interactions we create by sharing your brand with the world online combined with our passionate demos are a proven recipe for your brand’ success.

Our Services Include:

Demo Strategy and Onboarding: We work with your marketing team to immerse ourselves into your brand’s story and vision. We then develop a program that is on point and on budget. A key part of our onboarding process is that we train our team of Brand Ambassadors who in turn educate consumers to be your brand advocates.

Pairing Partnerships: Do your nutty and natural crackers pair well with organic cheese? Well we know that pairing food and beverages can further entice customers to buy your products. Our pairing partnerships can be a great way to showcase your brand and lower your average cost per demo
