American Guerrilla Marketing helps brands turn a simple taste or trial into a high-intent buying moment. In Kansas, where shoppers value friendly faces and proof you can actually taste, the right demo at the right venue converts attention into real lift at the register.

Our teams are built for that.

Product Demonstration and Food Demos in Kansas That Drive Sales and Engagement

AGM turns Kansas demos into sales

American Guerrilla Marketing (AGM) is the leading guerrilla marketing staffing agency in the U.S. We run product demonstrations and food sampling nationwide, and we do it in ways that Kansas shoppers actually enjoy. That includes personable, sales-minded brand ambassadors, food-safe field teams, and booth builds that catch the eye from 30 feet away.

AGM is both a food demo agency and a product demo agency. We also activate wheatpasting, snipes, stencils, decals, LED trucks, and projections to amplify your presence around the venue or neighborhood. When you need Product Demonstration and Food Demos in Kansas that turn awareness into measurable sales, our playbook and people make it happen.

Why Live Demos Remove Risk, Build Trust & Drive SalesWhy this works

Live demos remove guesswork. They let customers taste, try, or ask a quick question before choosing a product. That reduces perceived risk and builds trust at the moment of decision.

Here is what brands see when they run structured demo programs with trained staff and clear calls to action:

  • Sales lift: live demos often raise same-day sales 20–60%
  • Trial: sampling boosts purchase intent 25–50%
  • Dwell time: shoppers spend 3–5 times longer near a demo table
  • Repeat purchase: demo buyers come back 2–3 times more often than non-demo buyers
  • Data capture: QR codes or coupons increase engagement 15–30%

Sampling also nudges up basket size and brings new buyers into the franchise. Kansas grocers and market managers report the same pattern: the smell, the taste, and a quick story from a friendly rep keep people nearby long enough to say yes.

MetricBaselineDuring DemoUplift
Unit Sales per Store per Day100140+40%
Conversion (tastes→buys)8%18%+10pp
Avg Basket Size (storewide)$38$42+$4
Email/SMS Opt-in Rate3%11%+8pp
Repeat Purchase @ 30 Days12%28%+16pp

What powers these results is simple: trial beats speculation, and a friendly prompt with a small incentive moves shoppers from curious to committed.

Where to run demos in Kansas

Target venues where foot traffic, shopper intent, and category fit overlap. The four cities below are reliable anchors for statewide programs, with grocery chains, malls, and convention centers that welcome sampling.

Wichita

Grocery: Dillons Marketplace at 21st & Maize Road Mall: Towne East Square Convention: Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center

Wichita mixes suburban grocery volume with downtown event energy. Dillons Marketplace locations handle strong weekend traffic, and Century II brings steady convention and festival schedules.

Overland Park

Grocery: Hy-Vee at 135th & Antioch Mall: Oak Park Mall Convention: Overland Park Convention Center

Johnson County shoppers respond to quality, health, and convenience. Oak Park Mall footfall is ideal for “try it now, buy it nearby” campaigns, and OPCC hosts frequent consumer shows that welcome tasting.

Kansas City, KS (KCK)

Grocery: Price Chopper at 76th & State Avenue Mall: Legends Outlets Kansas City Convention: Jack Reardon Convention Center

The Legends district pairs tourism and outlet traffic. Price Chopper stores in Wyandotte County are strong for weekend sampling tied to game days and family bundles.

Topeka

Grocery: Dillons at Fairlawn Plaza Mall: West Ridge Mall Convention: Stormont Vail Events Center

Government, schools, and families make Topeka a smart test market. Pair weekday lunch demos with late afternoon commuter traffic for solid conversion.

On-site playbook

Every store layout and crowd flow is different. Our field training keeps teams fast, friendly, and focused on sales.

  • Where to stand
    • 10–15 feet before the shelf or endcap on the main traffic side
    • Never block aisles or spill into checkout lanes
  • How to move
    • Rotate positions every 90 seconds to face new traffic
    • Restock samples constantly
    • Sanitize surfaces and utensils on a frequent cadence
  • How to act
    • Friendly openers: “Would you like a quick taste?”
    • Tight, benefit-led message: one feature plus one result
    • Immediate CTA: coupon, QR scan, or a walk over to the shelf
  • Boosters that lift conversion
    • Scarcity: “Today only” or “First 100 tasters”
    • Bundles: “Grab two flavors and save at checkout”
    • Recipe cards and quick-use tips for tonight’s meal

Short, simple, and repeatable beats long monologues. The mission is to create momentum around the table and at the shelf.

Reporting and measurement

Measurable sales prove the value of demos. We collect and organize the data that matters.

  • Counts
    • Touches, tastes, conversions, samples distributed
  • Rates
    • Engagement percentage, taste to buy conversion, coupon redemption, QR scans
  • Attribution
    • Same-day POS lift
    • Promo code use
    • Repeat purchase rates at +7, +14, and +30 days
  • Cadence
    • Daily recaps with photos and top-line numbers
    • Weekly roll-ups by store and city
    • Final wrap deck with insights and clear next steps

When allowed by the retailer, we match sampling to loyalty data to track repeat purchases. If not, we use coupon ties and QR landing pages to connect the dots.
