Product Sampling.
Reimagined.

Showdrop is a new offline-to-online channel for CPG brands to reach their shoppers.

We partner with retailers to give shoppers a better sampling experience,
powered by our smart sampling kiosks and digital platform.

Get Started!

Showdrop is not just a superior way to do product sampling.

Showdrop is fundamentally different. We're providing our brand partners with a range of capabilities to supercharge their campaigns with us.

Why Sampling?

Fellow founders…demos are a big pill to swallow…especially in Chicago, am I right? They are only 3-4 hours and you never know what the foot traffic is going to be especially if the weather is bad.
So when Showdrop called to tell me about their new sampling vending machines that would only stock Petal for 2 weeks in a high-traffic hot store - it was a fast yes!
Love the concept and proud to be a pioneer brand in our hometown, Chicago. 10/10 highly recommend.

20,000+ Happy Shoppers and Counting

We got it to see if our toddler would like it. We loved the texture and how soft it was. She also devoured it! We will definitely be going back to the store to get some more

Yum!!! These mushrooms are delicious and have the perfect soft crunch... meaning it's got a good crunch but won't chip your teeth. These are so good I have gotten several bags.

Female - 32

Love the brand. I didn’t know it was available at Mariano’s

Male - 25

Loved these, so tasty! Going to purchase for sure. Such a cool idea to have these machines!

Female - 20

I've tried the lemon lime and fruit punch, and both were delicious. I bought the flue raspberry and strawberry lemonade today. Can't wait!

Male - 49

The free sample was a great idea. I got to try the jasmine green tea and really enjoyed it. I am more likely to buy something once I've had a chance to sample it I would love to see additional types/flavors of tea offered as the free samples in the future.

Female - 50

Really enjoyed it! Thought the lime flavor was great and refreshing. I'm not typically a plain topo Chico fan but loved the fresh fruit flavor on this one! Would definitely try the other varieties.

Female - 26

Delicious and clean ingredients. Will buy often!

Female - 45

Very tasty. Actually the finest snack sausage I've ever eaten. Enjoyed the free sample so much that I am currently trying to find it at my local Mariano's

Male - 49

Flavor was shockingly good! This is the type of product I likely would not have bought without trying, so thank you for the sample. Will definitely be purchasing more and adding Dietz Chips to my snack rotation!

Female - 50

The sample things in Mariano's are so cool and definitely made my roommate and I circle back to buy some!

Female - 26

The free sample kiosk is a really good way to get your product in people's hands. We exclusively purchase Annie's so would never have tried it without having had the chance to get a sample for free. We enjoyed it and are going to put it in our mix.

Female - 45

So delicious! A new staple in my pantry!

Male - 49

Convenient to keep in purse for a snack and will buy for kids as also easy and not messy.

Female - 58

So happy to be able to try a sample or singular can as they looked very intriguing but every store I've explored has only sold cases. I've been refusing to try it by buying a whole case to save money in case I didn't like it but I did. Truly appreciate this opportunity from the sample machine.
