What We Can Track
FieldLift captures meaningful campaign data so you understand how your in-store sampling program performed. Available metrics vary depending on the campaign structure, retailer, and data sources — we report what the campaign makes measurable.
Stores Activated & Events Completed
Track how many locations and sampling events were successfully executed across your campaign footprint.
Samples Distributed & Shopper Interactions
Track samples distributed and shoppers engaged, recording unique shoppers sampled separately where practical. Include shopper questions, preferences, and purchase objections in event recaps.
Execution Compliance & Completion Rate
Monitor whether campaigns were executed according to plan and brand standards across all locations.
Sales & Velocity Data (When Available)
Report ambassador-observed purchases separately from retailer-verified sales. When suitable retailer data is available, compare units sold per store per week and estimate sales lift against a documented baseline.
