With the help of proprietary AI, Swish is transforming the traditional sampling experience by seamlessly integrating full-size, in-stock CPG products into customers' regular grocery shopping. “Ultimately, brands want customers to try and then buy their products,” said Adam Stave, CEO and co-founder of Swish, “Demos and mailers are expensive and hard to measure, while digital media continues to fall short. Swish treats the product itself as media—placed directly into baskets, at the right time, for the right people."
Getting consumers to discover, try, and ultimately buy a product is a major challenge, with the "try" stage often being the hardest to overcome, so Swish is appealing to a new generation of brands and retailers with a personalized, data-driven strategy. Swish’s AI engine targets households that are most likely to convert, and adds sample products to their first-party (pickup or delivery) grocery orders.
