Your product in the hands of your target audience. At train stations, in malls, on the streets.

What is Product Sampling?

Your product in the hands of your target audience. At train stations, in malls, on the streets.

Zurich Main Station, 7:42 AM: 15,000 commuters in a single hour. Your product lands in their hand before they reach the platform. That's how we've put 100M+ samples into Switzerland. Train stations, malls, universities, business districts: data-planned, Academy-trained, live-tracked.

Ideal for FMCG brands looking to generate trial and reach new audiences.

Alles, was du wissen musst.

An experienced 2-person team distributes 1'500 to 3'000 samples per day at a high-traffic location. For a national campaign across multiple locations, 10'000+ samples per day are possible.

We sample at all major Swiss train stations (Zurich HB, Basel SBB, Bern, Geneva), in shopping centers (Sihlcity, Stucki, Westside), on streets, and at events. Nationwide with permits.

Through our kyoX platform, we track in real time: number of distributed samples, contacts, location performance, cost per contact, and qualitative promoter feedback.

Standard campaigns are planned in 2 to 3 weeks. For simple train station samplings with existing materials, we can also start within one week.
