Product Launch In-Pack Sampling

The Client:

A CPG company was launching a new kids cereal

The Challenge:

The brand team wanted to figure out a way to cost effectively include sampling in their launch plan

  • Provide cost-effective delivery of very fragile samples
  • Original plan called for shrink-wrapping samples to packages of a product with similar target demographics

Our Solutions:

  • Proposed automatically in-packing samples directly into packages of established kid cereal brands
  • Designed and developed equipment specifically designed to maintain product integrity

The Results

  • Delivered over 1.3 million product samples in-pack with minimal disruption to line operations
  • Significant cost-savings per piece compared to shrink wrapping sample to box
      • Insight’s total delivered cost            $0.14
      • Shrink wrap and ship                      $0.65
      • Savings                                          51 cents /unit (79%!!!)           
  • Company has since worked with Insight on six additional in-pack sampling programs
Automated in-pack sampling saved the client $0.51 per unit vs. shrink wrapping
