Vegan Sampling Agency

We’re also a plant-based and vegan sampling agency.

We sample all types of vegan and plant-based products from LoveRaw chocolate to Ritter Sport’s vegan marzipan bars.

Since the explosion of veganism and increase in consumers searching out new foods, we’ve experienced a significant rise in vegan and plant-based sampling. From Little Moons mochi, Richmond meat-free sausages to Monty Bojangles chocolate truffles… we don’t just sample the bigger retail brands – we love the challengers and disruptors too.

Plant-based sampling agency.

It’s not just energy drinks and new fragrances that we sample. The rise in veganism and plant-based food products has created a huge demand for brands to connect with a new category of consumers: those looking for alternatives to dairy, meat and animal based products. We understand the demographic, the point of difference, the ingredients, the storage… the full end-to-end of the product.

Veganuary sampling.

As a vegan sampling agency, Veganuary is an ideal time to target vegan and plant-based consumers. With the Christmas hangover easing, shoppers are looking for healthier alternatives and a more diet focussed start to the new year. Here’s a few reasons we think Veganuary sampling is a winner:

  • consumers are more health conscious
  • opportunity to showcase challenger brands instead of usual suspects
  • consumer mindset open to new options
  • shopper footfall is strong (eg. Jan sales)
  • uptake on free samples is higher than average month
  • Veganuary sampling conversions between 3% – 5%

Safe sampling.

We know how to safely store, handle and distribute samples, especially since the Covid pandemic. All our team members are experienced in handling both packaged and non-packaged food products, and hold Food Hygiene Level 2 certification as a standard qualification ensuring best practise food handling processes. We never outsource our sampling staff – they’re all iMP team members with a professional attitude and consumer and client facing personalities.

Experiential sampling.

Experiential sampling is a relatively new term, combining the two services. Essentially it adds more theatre and more engagement for consumers, creating a higher visual impact than stand-alone sampling. For example, simple product sampling might involve targeting commuters at rush hour with a mobile sampling bin – see Ralph’s Club – whereas experiential sampling creates more of a branded event – see the Little Moons case study link above.
