How to Sample in Pediatrician Offices to Build Product Awareness

Do you have a product that moms love? Sharing your product directly with moms while they care for their children has a higher ROI and lower cost per sample than other sampling options like direct mail or street teams. By distributing your samples directly to your target consumer, you avoid waste on non-targeted consumers. And since the pediatrician offices provide the influence, space and manpower, you save your brand money!

In 2011 there were 91,915 pediatricians in the USA (source: American Academy of Pediatrics). Pediatricians serve families of all income levels, zip codes, and ethnic backgrounds making this a huge opportunity for brands to get their products into the hands of moms. Distributing your product samples at pediatrician offices provides your brand with an engaged and targeted audience that is ready and excited to try your product.

– We target relevant demographics – We sample in venues that attract moms generally. In addition to pediatrician offices, we can also reach moms in daycare centers, preschools, and trendy spots such as prenatal yoga classes, lactation/pump rooms, mommy & me classes, kid swimming facilities and more. We can filter venues based on local demographics such as income, ethnicity, or other demographic variables.

– We can geotarget around stores that sell your product – Provide us with a list of stores and we’ll only target pediatrician offices within 1/3/5 miles etc. of those stores.

– We reach ‘real’ consumers – We reach your actual targeted consumer in the real world, not virtual freebie seekers who will go to great lengths just to get something for free.

– We create buzz – We encourage consumers to share their brand experience with their family and friends both offline and online, generating highly sought after word-of-mouth advertising.

– We surprise consumers – Consumers are excited to receive an unexpected, yet highly relevant sample in a place they frequently visit and trust.
