Sampling compliance, retailer-specific execution requirements, and trade spend documentation — we have worked through what takes a first-timer three weeks to navigate.

Pick a time that works. We will walk through your channels, goals, and what revenue looks like if marketing actually runs.

Shopper marketing that moves cases connects retail programs, creative, media, and reporting — not four separate workstreams with nobody owning the outcome.

Circana and NielsenIQ data read in context — not just for confirmation. We know the difference between a number that looks good and one that signals a real reorder.
Shopper programs tied to sell-through, retail media, and the trade calendar — so digital and shelf work together instead of competing for attention.
You will not spend the first calls explaining what sell-through means.
Shopper programs built against the retailers and data sources your business already depends on.
Data & retail sources
Core environments — not a closed list.
Shopper marketing breaks down when retail programs, digital touchpoints, and sell-through reporting are run by different people. We connect the work to cases moved.
Shopper programs planned and executed against your trade calendar — not last-minute assets thrown together before a buyer meeting.
Copy and creative built for the shelf, the cart, and the ad account — without you briefing from scratch every cycle.
Retail media and shopper media managed with the same velocity standard — spend tied to product actually moving.
Reporting tied to velocity, ROAS, and program outcomes — so you can answer distributor questions with numbers.

A regional beverage brand came to us with wide distribution and flat velocity in key off-premise accounts. We built and ran a retailer-specific sampling and rebate program. Eight weeks later: sell-through increased 22.4%, 3,480 incremental cases moved, and $186,000 in attributed program revenue.

A shopper marketing manager or trade marketing coordinator usually costs $65K-$75K in salary, and closer to $85K loaded.
That is one person. Usually without established retailer relationships, without a vendor bench, and without scan data infrastructure.
BFX starts at $3,000/month, or $36,000/year. You get a specialist team, managed vendor relationships, retailer coordination, and reporting tied directly to sell-through.
Same objective. Less overhead. Faster execution.
That usually happens when strategy and execution are split between teams. Ours are not. The same operators plan and run the program, you review before launch, and we measure outcomes in velocity and sell-through, not activity metrics.
Not every program should be big. A smart activation for a $2M brand looks different from one for a $20M brand. We start with the shortest path to measurable sell-through at your current scale, then expand when the data says to.
Most shopper programs need 6-12 weeks from planning through post-program readout. Early movement can show up faster in velocity trends, but clean results depend on retailer timing, inventory position, and how quickly the program gets in front of shoppers.
We need your priority SKUs, priority retailers, trade calendar, and access to the right internal and retail contacts. We also need quick approvals so programs move on time. That's it. We handle the execution layer.
Pick a time on the calendar. We will walk through your brand, channels, and what you need marketing to drive next.
