CPG product sampling puts a physical product directly into a shopper's hands so they can try it before they buy. A sampling agency plans where and when that happens — choosing the stores, events, and street-level moments that reach the right buyers — then staffs, ships, and runs the program. Promobile does this at national scale, moving millions of samples across coast-to-coast and regional campaigns.

Our Capabilities
Project Management
Remember the kids who’d take over a group project and get everyone an A+? They’re our project managers now.
We approach project management like a hospitality service by anticipating needs, staying two steps ahead, and making the process feel seamless for you. From kickoff through final delivery, our team oversees timelines, budgets, approvals, and cross-functional coordination, acting as your day-to-day partner to keep everything on track, on budget, and stress-free.
Permitting & Procurement
You’ve got better things to do than sit on hold with permitting offices. Let us save you from that nightmare.
Rest easy! We handle the nightmare of permitting logistics so you don’t have to. We’ll cover venue sourcing, scouting, contract negotiations, and tapping our existing relationships with major metro permitting offices and venue owners.
Fabrication
Big, small, whatever. We’ll bring it to life (yeah, even that).
Work alongside our fabricators and stylists to take ideas on paper and transform them into custom signage, set pieces, and vehicles that match your brand’s exacting details and aesthetics.
Design
Form doesn’t follow function. It rides shotgun.
Our designers match and elevate the desired look and feel, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully considered. Through vehicle wrap templates, illustrative sketches, and 3D renderings, we visualize and refine the design at every stage of production so the final result feels intentional, aligned, and unmistakably your brand.
Staffing
Train people well enough so they can leave and work anywhere. Treat them well enough so they won’t want to.
Staffing is too important to hand off to a third party. That’s why we’ve built an in-house program that develops field staff into long-term, trusted members of our team, not a revolving door of unfamiliar faces. From foundational onboarding to project-specific training, our teams are set up to succeed once they’re on site.
To keep quality consistent, we reinforce training throughout the tour with on-site leadership support, real-time feedback, daily refreshers, and built-in quality checks. Paired with incentives, growth paths, and a strong talent network, this approach helps the best people rise, stay engaged, and deliver great guest experiences in every market.
Swag & More
Disclaimer: Taking our swag will cause strangers to run up and ask, "Wait, where did you get that?!”
Whether an event calls for premium branded giveaways or bold, out-of-the-box concepts, we can bring it to life. We source and produce custom swag, including on-site personalization, create luxury VIP kits in branded packaging, and ensure our brand ambassadors are outfitted in high-end, polished uniforms that reflect your brand.
College Campus Programming
There’s an art to great campus activations. There’s a science to it too. We’re basically double-majors.
We know how to activate on and off college campuses nationwide, pairing routing efficiency with an in-house repository of sampling-friendly schools, known hot spots, high-traffic areas, and campus-specific tentpole events. Through established local relationships, student ambassadors, and partnerships with student-led organizations, we know how to seed, support, and scale campus events to reach your exact audience.
