    “Perhaps the most effective and most ‘close touch’ consumer marketing technique is product sampling. Your consumer gets to experience your product, has to make no financial commitment and provides instant feedback. All this at point of purchase, where decisions are often impulse-driven. Covid has put brake to sampling programs as we all stay home, avoid contact and isolate. Here’s where Hoppingo has turned this problem into an exciting new venture. In-home is the future – consumers opt in for it, they are happy to sample at home and provide feedback. Reduces the costs of sampling physically at various locations and also reduces wastage of random in-store sampling programs. What’s not to like? “
