What We Do

The retail relationships, the staff, and the paperwork — handled.

You send the product and the story. We turn that into real people, in real stores, in front of real shoppers — legally, and with proof it worked. Our focus is beverages, but we run the same kind of activation for food, beauty, and wellness brands on the side — ask us about it.

01

Retail Sampling Placements

If you're already selling into stores here, that's our starting point — we bring the sampling to the shelves your product already sits on, so shoppers who walk past it every week finally get to try it. If you're not in Hawaii retail yet, we find the right doors and get you in front of shoppers there for the first time, including small-batch shelf drops where space is tight.

02

Trained Activation Staff

Local brand ambassadors who know how to talk story, pour clean, and sell — not just hand out cups. Every team member is briefed on your product before they ever touch a bottle.

03

Compliance, Handled

Permits, insurance, and sampling regulations vary store to store and county to county. We confirm what's required for your product and location before we ever set up a table.

How It Works

From contract to sales report, in four steps.

A standard run is three sampling activations over your first month — enough to see a real pattern without a long commitment.

01

Book your campaign

Pick a package and tell us about the product. Most brands start with three activations across their first 30 days.

02

We line up the retail

We use our existing store relationships or go find the right ones for your product, and secure the sampling approval.

03

We sample & document

Our team pours, talks with shoppers, and logs everything on-site — photos, units sampled, and what customers said.

04

You get the report

Photos, details, and sales data land in your inbox after every activation, so you can decide whether to keep going.

Analytics & Reporting

See what the activation actually did — not just that it happened.

Every activation closes out with a report built for a real decision: keep going, change stores, or pull back. No guessing whether the sampling worked.

  • Store-by-store sales before & after the activation
  • Units sampled, shopper feedback, and on-site photos
  • A clear recommendation on whether to renew or expand

Packages

Simple, contract-based pricing — built around results, not a booth rental.

Every package runs on a monthly contract, billed for the activations included. Custom scopes and multi-island runs are available on request.

Starter

Trial Run

3 activations, 3 stores / month

Your first month is one activation in three different Hawaii stores — either doors you're already sold in, or three we place you into. It's built to answer one question: does this product sell when someone hands it to a shopper?

  • 1 sampling activation in each of 3 stores — your existing accounts, retail we place you into, or a mix of both
  • Retailer approval, permits, and insurance handled for all 3 locations
  • Trained sampling staff, product, cups & table setup at each store
  • Photos, shopper feedback & sales data after each of the 3 activations
  • One combined report at month's end with a go / no-go recommendation

Let's Talk

This structure is a starting point we'd tune with you: most brands validate with the Starter package before committing to a longer retail push. Final pricing depends on island, store count, and product category — we'll scope it together on a call.

Compliance & Licensing

We carry the license and insurance risk, so you don't have to.

Sampling rules shift by island, county, and whether your product is alcoholic — we track that so your team doesn't have to learn Hawaii retail law to run a campaign here.

Sampling & event permitsPulled per activation, matched to each store and county's requirements.
General liability & event insuranceCoverage in place for every in-store and event activation we run.
Trained, vetted staffAmbassadors trained on responsible sampling practices, including alcohol service where applicable.

Why BAP

We're already in the stores. You don't have to find your way in.

Getting a new drink onto Hawaii shelves usually means cold calls, warm favors, and a lot of trial and error most mainland brands don't have time for. We've done that groundwork — the retailer relationships, the permit process, the on-the-ground staff who know how to sell a first sip.

Our job is simple: put your product in front of real Hawaii shoppers, do it by the book, and tell you honestly whether it's worth doing again.
