A More Effective and Cost Efficient Method for Online Product Sampling
The 1-2-1 Media CPA Model … a more effective way to Sample Online! As will be outlined later in this deck, Online Product Sampling is an extremely effective means of getting your brand’s sample into the hands of consumers who have asked to try your product. Traditional Online Product Sampling Campaigns have incorporated a blend of offering samples on Brand and Facebook pages often supported by CPC (Cost Per Click) and CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions) Media. Many of these efforts fall short of distributing the total number of samples allocated into the hands of targeted consumers who are potential users of your product. Not only do we offer better Media Support for your Brand Page and Facebook sampling efforts, we also offer a higher ROI for your program. And…we guarantee distribution of all your samples!!!
The 1-2-1 Media CPA Model … a more effective way to Sample Online! • A recent survey revealed the following breakdown of Performance Based Media buys: • 48% - CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions) • 36% - CPC (Cost Per Click) • 10% - Time Based • 6% - CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) • While according to this survey CPA is the least purchased of these media buys, we at 1-2-1 Media feel it is by far the most cost effective means and provides brands their best ROI since you only pay for valid orders shipped or leads generated!
Savings using the 1-2-1 Media CPA model vs. CPC / CPM Media We at 1-2-1 Media know that the budget for your sampling program is a high priority for you. We feel that our CPA Media Model will provide you with a far superior ROI for your program. The following three slides contain examples of actual programs that incorporated various forms of CPC and CPM media into the brand’s online sampling campaign. For comparison sake we used CPA costs of $.30 - $.50 per unit. These are typical costs but they can vary depending on the actual sample offer and the inventory within the network.

Benefits of Online Sampling • High Conversion: Conversion averages 32% across all online sampling programs. Coupons included in samples sent to consumers average anywhere from 15-65%. • Effectively Engages Consumers: The intense time spent engaged with the brand online in the comfort of their own home gives brands ample opportunity to get their message across. • National in Scope: Opt-In sampling can reach consumers in every city and every community. • In-Home Experience: For many products, trying a product in the home where it will be used provides a better experience than in-store or on site venues. This is especially true of HBA and HBC products as well as food. • Low Cost Per Converted Consumer: Compared to other venues, opt-in sampling has a competitive cost per consumer return on investment.
Benefits of Online Sampling • Builds a CRM Database: Opt-in sampling allows brands to build a CRM database and continue to market 1-2-1 with those consumers long after the event. • Target Specific Households: Thru the use of a pre-sample survey, opt-in sampling can target down to the psychographic level (i.e. competitive users, consumers who like scented , working moms etc.) and limit samples on only to those households. • Create Viral Opportunities: Online sampling creates a “buzz’ beyond the event. The publicity and WOM surrounding these online sampling events can have a significant value beyond the actual event itself. • Self Selection: By clicking on a sample offer and electing to try the sample, the consumer has demonstrated an interest in the product being offered which equates to a higher level of interest in that product. This results in a higher level of conversion.
Benefits of Online Sampling • No Waste: Because the consumer is in control and must actively request the sample, there is no waste in the system. Samples are limited to one per household and these households must want to try the sample. • Gather Consumer Feedback: Upon sample selection, consumers can be offered the opportunity to opt-in to be emailed a post sample survey to provide feedback. Research and data can be collected from consumers to determine the success of the program as well as how consumers feel about the product. Nearly 50% of consumers agree to be contacted with surveys. • High Satisfaction Rates: Reports from a major retailer website offering online product sampling have shown consumer satisfaction rates of 80% with their product samples. • High Purchase Intent Rates: The average purchase intent on this major retailer site has been 78% meaning that online sampling results in a very successful opportunity for brands to get consumers to purchase their products.
