Why Peel ‘n Taste®?
• Sampling works to drive product trial.
• Peel ‘n Taste® sampling is a fraction of the cost of 
  traditional event‐based sampling.
• Peel ‘n Taste® allows for the use of traditional print 
  media (direct mail, magazine advertising, etc.) 
  which provides a much broader consumer reach.
• Print media using Peel ‘n Taste® provides a much 
  more targeted consumer base.
