IN-STORE ACTIVATIONS

In-store activations & retail campaigns

We turn the point of sale into a place where the brand can interact directly with people.

PAPERBOAT coordinates activations, promoters, sampling, promotional distribution, logistics, implementation and reporting in a workflow built around the campaign's real requirements.

DIRECT ANSWER

What are in-store activations?

In-store activations are campaigns carried out in shops or other retail spaces, where the brand interacts directly with people through promoters, sampling, demonstrations, promotional materials or special mechanics.

PAPERBOAT connects the team, materials and logistics in one operational workflow, without promising coverage, availability or results before the project is validated.

CAPABILITIES

What can we manage in an in-store campaign?

The final configuration depends on the brief, locations, schedule, access, resources and available materials.

TEAM & INTERACTION

A coherent experience, from first contact to reporting.

Promoters for retail campaigns

Promoters are the direct point of contact between the brand and the shopper. The team profile, messages, schedule and responsibilities must be defined before implementation.

PAPERBOAT can coordinate selection, briefing, scheduling and operational communication according to the resources confirmed for the project.

Sampling and product demonstrations

Sampling allows a product to be tested or discovered in the shopping context. The mechanics must fit the product type, site rules, activation schedule and estimated people flow.

For every campaign, samples, quantities, working kits and the way available information is centralised are clarified in advance.

Promotional distribution & POSM

Flyers, coupons, giveaways and shelf materials support the campaign message. PAPERBOAT can integrate advertising production and POSM in the same operational workflow.

Logistics, implementation & reporting

Materials must reach the right location before the activation and teams need clear instructions. We follow implementation and centralise information in the format agreed in the brief.

AT THE POINT OF SALE

The brand becomes an interaction, not just a presence.

In retail, people make decisions in a space crowded with products and messages. A well-organised activation aligns the promoter, materials, mechanics and moment of interaction.

Every interaction must remain consistent with the brand message and the team must have a clear role in the campaign mechanics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Useful information before the campaign.

What in-store activations can you coordinate?

Projects may include promoters, sampling, product demonstrations, flyer or giveaway distribution, POSM, logistics and field reporting.

Can you manage several locations?

Yes, after locations, schedule, access conditions and available resources are confirmed.

Do you provide promoters?

PAPERBOAT can coordinate selection, briefing and scheduling based on the campaign brief and confirmed availability.

Can you also manage the promotional materials?

Yes. Materials can be produced, centralised and distributed to locations when this workflow is included in the project quote.

How is the staffing requirement calculated?

The requirement starts with the number of locations, days, hours per day and promoters per location. The page calculator estimates promoter-days and activation hours without generating an automatic price.

What does reporting include?

The reporting format is defined in the brief and may include available operational information, activity centralisation and implementation documentation.

How far in advance should an activation be planned?

Timing depends on the number of locations, resources, approvals and materials. An early request allows availability and logistics to be validated realistically.

What information is required for a quote?

The campaign objective, locations, period, schedule, promoter count, activation mechanics, available materials and reporting requirements are a useful starting point.
