CPG · Beverage

Get it into their hands, then onto the listing.

Beverage is a trial category: people switch after one great can. ShopperArmy gets your sparkling, functional, coffee, or ready-to-drink product to members profiled by what they drink and where they buy it, then turns the first sip into a verified review. Wine, beer, and spirits run as 21+ verified programs.

What we sample in beverage

Why this category is different

One great can changes the habit.

Profiled on what they drink

Target members by the beverages they buy today, like sparkling water, energy, or cold brew, so trial reaches likely switchers.

Multipacks, not single cans

Reviews read better after a few days of real use. Missions fund a multipack purchase or ship enough for a proper trial.

21+ handled properly

Alcohol programs use age-verified members and in-store purchase with a rebate where state rules allow. We never ship alcohol samples.

Two routes, one kind of proof

Rebated purchase or free sample.

Either way the shopper is matched to your buyer, the product is verified in their hands, and the review carries proof you can link to.

Rebated purchase

The member buys at the retailer or marketplace you choose, uploads the receipt or order, uses it, and is reimbursed once an honest review is verified.

Best for retail distribution at Target, Walmart, and grocery, for Amazon multipack listings, and for all 21+ categories.

Free sample, delivered

We ship to profiled members at verified home addresses. They use it for the trial period you set, then rate and review where you need it.

Best for non-alcoholic launches, powders and drink mixes, DTC subscriptions, and new flavors.

Not strangers from an ad

Members we already know.

Typical sample-request programs

  • Anyone who clicks an ad can ask for a free sample
  • Fraud and waste are filtered after the request comes in
  • Free samples only, so reviews rarely carry a verified purchase
  • Marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart.com are an afterthought

FAQ

Questions beverage brands ask first.

Can you run programs for wine, beer, and spirits?

Yes, with age-verified members and in-store purchase. Alcohol rebate and sampling rules vary by state, so each program is scoped to the states where it's permitted. We never ship alcohol to members.

Which retailers can reviews land on?

Target.com, Walmart.com, Amazon, grocery retailer pages, Instacart, and your own site. Tell us your distribution and we'll map the program to it.

Can we measure switching?

Yes. Missions can ask what members drink today, and a post-trial survey captures whether they'd switch and why.

How is pricing structured?

Per verified review, with product cost, rebates, and fulfillment itemized. You only pay for reviews that pass verification and compliance checks.
