Using Sampler’s digital sampling platform, this plant-based frozen food brand not only ran its most successful coupon program, but also quickly grew its email list, collected valuable ratings and reviews, and grew its retail distribution.
In this time of marketplace uncertainty and budget pressure, the team at Sampler is maximizing our brand partner’s, like Path of Life, impact and effectiveness at every stage of their sales cycle.

72% of customers won’t take any buying actions until they’ve read reviews. Path of Life’s program not only collected ratings and reviews but through Sampler’s Consumer Sentiment machine learning tool, Ashley and her team were able to easily see what consumers specifically liked and didn't like about their products. This tool further allowed Path of Life to discover that consumers especially loved that their products were “tasty” and “easy to make,” these key insights shaped not only future product development but also messaging and SEO strategies.
A product referral from a friend is one of the strongest paths to purchase for consumers. Nielsen reports that 92% of people trust recommendations from their friends or family over any other kind of advertising. With Sampler, Path of Life was able to gain organic referrals and tap into word of mouth marketing as 80% of claimants were likely to refer to a friend.
Sampler works to ensure our brand partners are being both impactful and effective with their retail spend. The retailer specific shopper data collected in their Sampler program empowered Path of Life to create a data-driven retailer sales deck. These insights supported increased retailer distribution by illustrating to target retailers that adding Path of Life products to their frozen food product portfolio will drive incremental sales.
