Learn about startup solutions transforming how brands and consumers engage and shop online and in-store. This will be our biggest event yet, and you won't want to miss!

When you encounter a Showdrop sampling kiosk - you may wonder what the small black box sitting atop is for... is it a camera to fight vandalism? Any deterrence to bad behavior it might bring is a happy by-product; the reality is that they are motion sensors from Retail Aware to track traffic and engagement. Their tech allows us a real-time view of how customers are engaging in front of the kiosk and provides our brand partners with an insight into how many eyeballs engaged with the brand, even if only a fraction ended up taking a sample! Factors that might drive effectiveness of in-store sampling for brands become much clearer too - did the product not resonate, or was it simply the weather? We're excited about the many more ways we can use and apply this data; helping to bring the traditionally analog in-store sampling program into the digital era. A big shout out to Keith Fix, Brent Blecha, Tami Catron, Hunter Fangmeyer and all the good folks at Retail Aware who have been fantastic partners in this journey! For brands that do in-store sampling: what data have you gotten from each 4-hour demo, and what additional info do you wish you could get?
