Challenge

Breaking through to new customers

Filorga knew existing Italian customers loved their products, but the brand needed to reach a wider audience. They needed to find new, qualified customers, gain actionable feedback, and build a more substantial CRM base to drive future growth.

They partnered with Sampl to launch a targeted sampling campaign to get products into potential buyers' hands and provide the insights they needed to improve their marketing and product strategy. The results exceeded expectations.

Addressing clear marketing challenges

Filorga needed to connect with consumers unfamiliar with the brand, as 28% of participants discovered Filorga for the first time through this campaign. This presented an opportunity to build awareness and trust among a fresh audience, which is essential for standing out in the competitive luxury skincare market.

Second, the brand faced a feedback gap. Gathering meaningful reviews and insights about consumer preferences was a priority, but they needed an approach encouraging more people to share their experiences.

Finally, key questions arose about how to turn sampling into real, measurable results. Filorga wanted to grow its CRM with high-quality marketing opt-ins, but it also needed to ensure that sampling efforts translated into long-term impact, from purchase intent to actual conversions.

Solution

Qualifying the perfect audience with SamplMatch

Filorga used SamplMatch to target the right audience through Meta ads. These ads were designed to engage consumers who are likely to become Filorga buyers. Consumers answered profiling questions to qualify for a sample, ensuring that recipients were new to the brand and a good match for its products.

After the samples were delivered, the journey didn’t stop there. A series of follow-up touch points helped Filorga engage consumers further. These emails educated them about the products, encouraged feedback, and captured marketing opt-ins. This process ensured the campaign delivered free products and created meaningful opportunities for the brand to learn, engage, and grow.

Results

CRM growth with 12,830 quality marketing opt-ins

The campaign's results showed how strategic sampling can drive real impact for a premium skincare brand like Filorga.

  • Filorga grew its CRM by 12,830 consumers, with an impressive approval rate of 71.9%.
  • 1,651 detailed product reviews were collected, representing a 9.3% response rate.
  • 96% of participants said they would recommend Filorga products to others.
  • 98% expressed intent to purchase, showing strong conversion potential.
  • The campaign achieved an average star rating of 4.35 and 82% positive sentiment.

Beyond the numbers, the insights were just as valuable. Feedback revealed that consumers with dry skin had a stronger preference for Filorga’s products, offering opportunities for more tailored marketing in the future. The AI analysis also showed some valuable areas for improvement in product development.

Unlocking new opportunities

Filorga’s campaign also surfaced opportunities to refine its wider marketing and retail strategy.

One insight showed that consumers prefer buying skincare through perfumeries and online stores. This allows Filorga to deepen partnerships with key retailers and align sampling efforts with channels customers already trust.

The feedback also uncovered that some participants felt the sample size wasn’t enough to experience the product fully, pointing to potential tweaks in future sampling strategies.

The impact beyond numbers

This campaign wasn’t just about immediate results—it was about building a deeper understanding of the audience and laying the groundwork for long-term growth. Filorga now knows more about its ideal customer, from their purchasing preferences to the skincare benefits they value most.

With this data, the brand can create more personalised messaging, improve its products, and strengthen relationships with its growing CRM audience.
