Engage quality focused shoppers by sampling across Waitrose stores located in the UK’s most affluent city centres and AB1 suburban areas. Create pop up branded sampling experiences, to drive your rate of sale on tours in front of busy high street Waitrose stores, inside of selected flagship stores like Canary Wharf or Bluewater, and at seasonal sampling events such as the Waitrose Food & Drink Festival.
Create Brand Experiences at Waitrose
LINK will design, build and then tour a portable sampling cart, reflective of your brand and fitted to suit your catering requirements. These can be positioned either inside the foyers of stores or directly in front of the entrance areas. All shoppers are greeted with a pre-planned introduction, offered tasters with key messaging and encouraged to purchase. When organised with LINK you can expect huge levels of both immediate and sustained sales from every store attended.
Retail Sales Activation
We will help guide and then supply you with the attractively style sampling setup that is ideally suited for Waitrose stores, pick out the most relevant tours and create a supermarket sampling roadshow plan that is ideally suited to both fit with your budget and create measurable sales uplifts for your brand.
