The F’real sample packs are being trialled in the UK to help convenience retailers offer patrons a way to try out the brands milkshakes and encourage them to make a purchase. The initiative includes 100 recyclable mini cups along with spoons and F'real merchandise with retailers only required to prepare some shakes to hand out. The initiative is intended to be launched in September to coincide with the back to school season, which is said to be a key sales period for the milkshake brand.
Sales, Marketing and R&D Director at Rich's John Want spoke on the F’real sample packs saying, "This new sampling pack trial is one of the ways we plan to keep building support of our retailer partners. It’s important to us that we help them spread the word about f’real in their communities; time and time again we see people fall in love with our delicious shakes after just one taste, which of course helps drive cup sales for our stockists."
