10/10

"Guests wanted to learn more about this product and our knowledge was limited. They wanted to be able to drink it onsite. It would have been great to be able to have this sampled in a method where the taste could occur onsite. "

"Alot of guests hadn't tried these and found them of interest as they have seen them before and just never wanted to buy, being unsure how they'd like them. I think this is a great snack to offer for free so people can get a taste and see if they like them. Then they'll know if it's something they'll want to purchase in the future."

"The product sampling event we hosted through this platform was incredible. Not only did we generate additional revenue, but the brand's interactive display brought in a whole new demographic of art lovers who might not have discovered our gallery otherwise. The activation was seamless and really energized our weekend crowd."
