In-Store Activations and Field Marketing in London

Meet shoppers at the moment of choice

The best moment to convince someone is when they are standing in front of the shelf. In-store activations put your product in shoppers’ hands: a tasting, a demonstration, a beautiful stand and a team that knows what to say.

We have run tasting stands for Bonne Maman, a beauty activation for Charlotte Tilbury outside Sephora, and coffee carts for Burberry, Paul Smith, Loewe and Moynat.

Discover our product sampling, shopping centre promotions and drive-to-store campaigns.

In-store activations: your questions answered

What is an in-store activation?

An in-store activation is a live brand moment inside or right outside a shop: a tasting, a demonstration or a branded stand, run by a team that engages shoppers at the moment they choose what to buy.

What is field marketing?

Field marketing covers the face-to-face actions a brand runs in the field, from stores to events. We focus on in-store activations, tastings, demonstrations and staffed stands.

Do you offer merchandising or retail audits?

No. We focus on activations, tastings and demonstrations that engage shoppers. For merchandising or audits, a specialist field marketing agency is a better fit.

Who arranges permission with the store?

Usually the brand or its retail contact agrees the activation with the store. We then work to the store’s rules for space, timings and hygiene.

Can you run food and drink tastings in store?

Yes, from tasting stands to hot drinks. See our food marketing and drinks sampling pages.

How do you measure the results?

We agree the indicators with you beforehand, such as samples handed out, conversations held or sales reported by the store during the activation.
