In-store sampling · Auchan

Sampling at Auchan: two brands, four stores

Coffee and salads, in parallel and on consecutive days. We have run in-store sampling for two brands in Auchan hypermarkets in Hungary, fully managed: the counter, trained brand ambassadors, food hygiene, logistics and a report at the end.

Case studies from Auchan

Two campaigns, two different set-ups: one ran in three stores at once, the other with a single counter on three consecutive days.

Oliveris salads: a new brand’s first in-store promotion

Agriro’s first in-store promotion in Hungary. We sampled open product with gloves, moved the branded counter from store to store, collected feedback with a QR-code survey at the stand and delivered an Excel report at the end.

  • 105 completed shopper surveys in 3 days
  • 4.99 / 5 for staff friendliness and product info
  • 87% of respondents met the brand for the first time

Bialetti coffee: three stores at once

Fresh espresso from an original Bialetti moka pot, in three Auchan hypermarkets at the same time. We selected and trained the staff, coordinated the logistics and were present at all three locations.

  • 3 locations in parallel over 2 days

In parallel or one after another?

The first decision in a multi-store sampling campaign is whether the stores run at the same time or one after another. We have done both at Auchan:

  • In parallel (Bialetti): three stores on the same Friday and Saturday. That takes three teams and three stands – in return, the brand reaches three store audiences in a single weekend.
  • One after another (Oliveris): one branded counter, one brand ambassador, three consecutive days: Maglód → Dunakeszi → Budaörs. We move the counter from store to store, so the client does not have to deal with logistics.

What a sampling day looks like

  • Before opening: the counter has to be ready at start time – in the Oliveris campaign our brand ambassador arrived at 1:30 pm for a 2 pm start.
  • Training: the staff know the products and can answer shoppers’ questions.
  • Hygiene: with open product, gloves, a clean counter and small tasting portions.
  • Measurement: on request, a QR-code shopper survey at the stand.
  • Reporting: Bialetti received photo documentation; at the end of the Oliveris campaign we delivered an Excel report with charts and shopper ideas.

Sampling at Auchan?

Counter, staff, report – from one team.

One store or several, at once or one after another – just as we ran it for Bialetti and Oliveris.
