Samples & Swag
Why do we require vendors/sponsors to provide samples of food?
Offering samples of food can significantly increase the chances of selling it. Providing samples allows potential customers to experience the taste and quality of your food firsthand. It helps create a positive and memorable impression, potentially leading to higher customer satisfaction and increased sales. Sampling is an effective marketing strategy, especially in the food industry, as it engages customers' senses and encourages them to make informed purchasing decisions.
Plus, it add an element of fun to the event!
What are the samples/swag requirements?
- All food vendors are required to provide samples
- Napkins, plates, etc are NOT provided by the event
- Pre-packaged samples are encouraged
- Limited spaces available to vendors that will require handwashing
- Shasta County Environmental Health requires a registration or permit depending on the vendor/sample type
- All non-food vendors are required to provide swag
- ie. sticker, pen, individually-wrapped candy, etc
- There is no set amount required for samples/swag. You are welcome to bring the amount that you prefer. However, we suggest having 500+ (or enough for up tp half of the anticipated attendance) samples/swag items prepared to draw customers to your table.
- Please note that there are no hand wash stations allowed at the booths. Limited tables will be approved for using the hotel's handwash station on site, and will require a permit from Shasta County Environmental Health.
- Vendors with food samples prepared and packaged in advance must keep the packages sealed until the customer opens it. The vendors with pre-packaged samples must register with Shasta County Environmental Health.
- Food samples are NOT full servings! Just give the potential customers a taste to see what your products are like.
- ie. a few freeze-dried Skittles, a spoonful of ganache, a cube of cheese, a sample cup with cake scrap, etc
- Waste bins will be stationed at each vendor space and staff will provide trash removal.
