Product sampling is one of the most powerful marketing strategies for consumer brands—but understanding its true value goes far beyond counting free samples handed out. This Product Sampling Campaign ROI Calculator helps marketing teams, brand managers, and CPG professionals measure the complete impact of their sampling investments across four critical dimensions: trial conversion, word-of-mouth amplification, retail placement wins, and repeat purchase rates.
