iMP Experiential & Product Sampling delivered a high-volume London street sampling campaign for Wonderful Pistachios. We put 10,000 samples and vouchers into consumer hands in record time. Our team targeted health-conscious commuters and fitness enthusiasts across Westminster. This activation proved that brands can achieve massive reach on a sub £5,000 budget.
iMP took Wonderful Pistachios to the heart of London for a high-energy day of product sampling. We focused on heavy footfall areas including Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street. Our team also roamed through Soho Square to reach health-conscious professionals. We used three custom sampling bins to keep the product moving.
The strategy relied on speed and precision:
Our team hit the streets at 8am to catch the morning rush. The response was overwhelming. We reached our total distribution goal four hours ahead of schedule. We cleared every single sample by 2pm.
This campaign proves that street sampling does not need a massive budget to deliver impact. We achieved a low cost-per-contact in one of the most expensive cities in the world. The combination of healthy snacks and immediate price incentives drove high engagement levels. iMP provided a full turnkey service from logistics to live execution.
Our Westminster street sampling campaign proved that high-energy distribution turns a simple snack giveaway into a major brand moment. We deployed our specialized sampling bins to London’s busiest commuter hubs. iMP brought the “No Shells” message directly to the public through a rapid-fire hand-to-hand activation. These healthy snacks became an instant talking point for thousands of Londoners.
We activated in high-footfall areas from the exits of Tottenham Court Road station to the greenery of Soho Square. Our team wove the brand into the daily city rhythm. Commuters paused their morning journeys to engage with our staff and grab a protein-rich treat. This transformed a quick interaction into a genuine moment of brand discovery. Wonderful Pistachios packs reached consumers exactly when they needed a boost. Our high-energy brand ambassadors ensured the green branding was impossible to miss across the Westminster streets.
Speed and efficiency gave this activation its edge. We used upbeat music and fast-paced team energy to match the morning rush in the capital. iMP distributed 10,000 samples and 10,000 money-off vouchers to a targeted audience in just six hours. This drove immediate trial and paved the way for retail growth. The volume was significant. Despite the high velocity, every interaction delivered a positive brand experience.
This activation focused on simple and effective mechanics. We chose roaming Westminster locations to maximize visibility. The early completion proved the demand for healthy on-the-go snacks. iMP delivers high-impact results for brand managers who need speed and scale.
Ready to launch a high-volume campaign in London? Let’s talk about your next street sampling project.
The iMP team distributed 10,000 Wonderful Pistachios snack packs during the live day. We reached this volume by targeting busy London commuters and fitness enthusiasts at Tottenham Court Road and Soho Square.
The total campaign budget was £4,570.00. This included six brand ambassadors and three custom sampling bins. This project proves that brands can achieve massive scale in London for less than £5,000.
Our team started the activation at 8am and finished the full allocation by 2pm. Strategic positioning at Underground stations allowed for high-velocity distribution in just six hours. We paired every sample with a money-off voucher to drive retail sales.

We worked with iMP for our event stand and staffing of the Ideal Home Show. David and the team were fantastic, our stand was incredible and we had so many compliments on it. The staff were great, they are really high energy and engaged our consumers at the stand. I would highly recommend if you are looking to run any sampling or experiential events for your brand.

Hiring iMP for an event I was leading on for a new client was a great decision. They turned around a high quality sampling event and promo vehicle with a very short turnaround time, and their staff on the day were incredibly enthusiastic and professional. They made the process easy and the client very happy, we'll definitely be working with them again.

We partnered with iMP Sampling & Experiential for a summer campaign with one of our clients, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They executed a total of 42 in-store events nationwide, and their team's expertise in sampling and experiential marketing truly shone through. The staff were great at engaging with customers and helping us to achieve our goal of increasing footfall and participation at each event.

David and team at iMP are the real deal - kind, personable, dependable, professional, and offer a craftsmanship that rivals any agency I've encountered in my career. We will absolutely be using iMP again for any future UK activations (if they will have us) and highly recommend for any companies seeking an incredible experience - ESPECIALLY if you're a US-based team like us, and need an expert on location.

We worked with iMP on stands for two different events and were thrilled with the quality of the items we received. The team executed our brief to a fantastic standard, working to a tight turnaround to deliver all materials required for both events, and were extremely supportive and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. Thank you iMP for your work on this project to ensure we had incredible activations at both of our events!
