Solution
More than just giving samples away
When Clarins launched their lip oil balm, they wanted to do more than just hand out samples. They wanted to recruit new people, hear what they had to say, and educate them what makes their new product special. It made Sampl the perfect partner to execute a multi-touchpoint campaign.
1. Targeting the right audience
Using SamplMatch, Clarins targeted beauty enthusiasts who matched their ideal customer profile. Participants were invited through targeted Meta ads and validated using a short form to confirm interest and fit.
2. Engaging at every touchpoint
The journey didn’t stop at the sample. Email follow-ups educated recipients about the lip oil balm’s benefits and reminded them to share their thoughts. The campaign gave room for ongoing education rather than a one-off transaction.
3. Gathering actionable feedback
Nine days after receiving their samples, participants were invited to complete a detailed survey. Feedback focused on key product attributes like hydration, texture, and overall satisfaction, providing Clarins with reviews and data-driven insights to refine their marketing and product positioning.
