One of the most common questions we hear from businesses considering Aha! Connect is: "What exactly will I receive?" It's a fair question—after all, you want to ensure the samples align with your brand and clientele. Here's what you can expect.
Tailored to Your Industry
The samples you receive through Aha! Connect aren't random. Programs are carefully tailored to your specific industry and audience. A fitness studio receives different products than a salon, and a healthcare facility gets different samples than a corporate office. This matching process ensures the products you share are genuinely relevant and valuable to your clients.
When you sign up for Aha! Connect, you provide information about your business type, clientele demographics, and interests. We use this data to match you with appropriate brand campaigns. You'll never receive baby products if you run a corporate gym, and you won't get sports nutrition samples if you operate a bridal boutique.
Common Product Categories
While every program is unique, most sampling campaigns fall into these popular categories:
- Snacks and Beverages: Chips, protein bars, energy drinks, flavored water, coffee, tea, and healthy snack options. These are particularly popular with fitness studios, offices, and wellness centers.
- Supplements and Nutrition: Vitamins, protein powders, meal replacement shakes, and wellness supplements. Gyms, yoga studios, and health-focused venues frequently receive these programs.
- Beauty and Personal Care: Dry shampoo, skincare products, makeup samples, hair care, body wash, and cosmetics. Salons, spas, bridal shops, and fitness studios with locker rooms love these offerings.
- Family and Baby Products: Gentle skincare for newborns, nursing products, family snacks, and educational materials for parents. Healthcare facilities, childbirth educators, and family-focused venues benefit most from these programs.
- Toys and Games: From book snippets to board games for places like community centers, short term rentals, hotels, libraries and schools.
What's Included in Each Program
Most Aha! Connect programs include a combination of:
- Trial-size products: Actual product samples your clients can take home and try. These are typically single-use or small sizes perfect for testing before purchasing the full-size version.
- Informational materials: Brochures, recipe cards, usage instructions, or educational content that helps clients understand the product's benefits and how to use it effectively.
- Exclusive offers: Coupons, discounts, or special promotions that encourage clients to purchase the full-size product if they enjoy the sample.
