In Store Brand Activation Staff

An in store brand activation is promotional activity run inside a retailer, with staff on the shop floor representing your product, demonstrating it and talking to customers at the fixture.

We supply the people who do that work: brand ambassadors, product demonstrators, sampling staff, merchandisers and event managers for multi-branch campaigns. Bookings run from one store for a day up to thirty branches across a weekend.

Retail work is booked per branch, so the same campaign can run in a single store or across an entire estate on the same day.

The People On The Shop Floor

Retail activations are about the moment a customer is stood in front of the product. These are the roles we supply into stores, and any of them can be booked for a single branch or across an estate.

Shop Floor Teams

Shop floor teams represent your product at the fixture, deliver your key messages and answer customer questions about the range.

  • Engaging customers at the display or in the aisle
  • Delivering the messages set out in your briefing document
  • Directing customers to the fixture that stocks your line

Suits: beauty, technology, homeware, premium food and drink

Live Demo Staff

Live demo staff show the product working in front of the customer, which suits anything that is easier to sell once it has been seen in use.

  • Running live demonstrations through the shift
  • Explaining features and answering questions as they demonstrate
  • Offering the product for customers to try

Suits: appliances, kitchenware, gadgets, beauty tools

Trial And Tasting Staff

Sampling staff give customers the product to try in store, which is the quickest route to a first purchase for food, drink and beauty lines.

  • Preparing and handing out samples on the floor
  • Talking through the product as it is sampled
  • Pointing customers to where it is stocked

Fixture And Display Teams

Fixture teams work on the shelf itself: setting the display, correcting facings and making sure your line is stocked and presented as intended.

  • Setting displays and point of sale material
  • Correcting facings and filling gaps on shelf
  • Working to your planogram

Rollout Coordinators

On multi-branch campaigns an experienced coordinator works alongside the teams. They oversee the logistics, keep every store to the same brief and liaise with each branch.

  • Overseeing the logistics on the day
  • Coordinating the team across the shift
  • Liaising with each store manager on the day

Larger campaigns

Multi-Branch Rollouts

A campaign across twenty or thirty branches is a coordination job as much as a staffing one. We supply event managers and campaign leads who oversee the logistics, coordinate the teams and liaise with each store.

Staff for each branch are booked from the nearest of our 40 UK hubs, so a national estate can be covered on the same day without teams travelling across the country.
