Types of office sampling staff we supply
From the front desk to the desk drop.
Office sampling is putting your product into the hands of people at work: at reception as they arrive, in the canteen at lunch or on their desks.
The part of the building decides the role, from the lobby inwards. Runs across several buildings come with a campaign lead. They agree positions and timings with each building manager and are your one contact.
Reception desk teams
Everyone passes reception. A compact set-up covers the morning arrivals, handing over as people swipe through without slowing the gates.
Atrium sampling teams
In the shared space of a multi-tenant building, with room for a larger branded set-up and every occupier walking past it during the day.
Desk drop teams
Floor by floor on an agreed route, placing product neatly on each desk and working round meetings and quiet zones.
Canteen and breakout trials
At lunch, when people are sitting down and have minutes rather than seconds, so a longer conversation about the product fits naturally.
Head office showcases
Head office product sampling aimed at the people who make decisions, such as a retailer's buying team, run as a tasting with time for questions.
Workplace sign-up teams
Sampling paired with app downloads or sign-ups across a managed office estate, collected on your form. See our data capture staff.
How we brief teams to work in your building
Guests in someone's workplace.
Right to work and ID checked on everyone. Employer's and Public Liability cover on every booking, and DBS, food hygiene certificates or alcohol licensing on request, ready for any building's security desk.
Your selling points and the building's rules in one brief, pitched in a tone that suits an office: friendly, quick and never in the way of someone late for a meeting.
Every sampler is on EXECUTIONAL's payroll. We handle PAYE, National Insurance and HR in-house, with every building on one itemised quote.
Geo-tagged check-ins before arrivals start and a 24/7 support line answered day and night.
How our samplers engage staff at their desks
A known audience, five days a week.
A street pitch meets strangers once. An office lobby meets the same few hundred people every morning, and they talk to each other at lunch. That makes workplace product sampling good for habit-forming products: the coffee, snack or app people will reach for again tomorrow.
Every building has a manager, a security desk and rules about where staff can stand and what can be served. We plan around them, brief the team to behave like guests in someone's workplace and keep the gates moving.

Head office product sampling questions we answer
Building access, timing and teams: your questions.
What is office product sampling?
Office product sampling is putting your product into the hands of people at work: at reception as they arrive, in the canteen at lunch, or on desks. A briefed team works to the building's rules and an agreed route, so it reaches a captive audience without disturbing the working day.
Who arranges access to the buildings?
In most cases the brand or its agency, through the building manager, landlord or the occupier's workplace team. Once you agree access, our campaign lead confirms the position, timings and sign-in process with each building before the first day.
What times work best, and can you run desk drops?
Arrivals and lunch. The morning window catches everyone coming in; lunch gives longer conversations in the canteen or breakout space. Desk drops follow an agreed route that avoids meeting rooms and quiet zones, with each product placed neatly, and can happen before most people arrive if the building prefers.
Can you serve food and drink in an office?
Yes, to the building's hygiene rules. Food hygiene certificates are available on request. Alcohol, such as an after-work tasting, needs the building's agreement. Challenge 25 and licensing are available on request.
Can one booking cover offices in several cities?
Yes. We operate nationwide, across the UK. Every building, date and shift sits under one booking with one brief and one itemised quote, and each team comes from the hub nearest the building. Buildings added late can often still be covered.
Do you run staff wellbeing or benefits days?
We staff the sampling and stands at them, working to the employer's or building manager's plan. The event itself, its suppliers and any stands stay with the organiser. For people to run the rest of the day, see our corporate event staff; for workplace promotions beyond sampling, such as staff engagement days and B2B launches, see corporate office promotions.
Do you supply the product and stands?
No. The product, branding and any stand or trolley come from you or your production partner; we supply and manage the people.
What drives the cost of office sampling?
The number of buildings, how many people per building, the hours covered, the number of days, a campaign lead on larger runs and any product training. We itemise the quote by building and shift.
