Shameless Pets, founded in 2018, is a natural, sustainable and nutrition-focused pet food brand that uses up-cycled fruits and vegetables to create tasty treats for both cats and dogs. Shameless Pets partnered with Sampler to distribute samples of treats to reach digitally targeted consumers, and their dogs.
Using Sampler’s advanced audience targeting, Shameless Pets, along with their dedicated sampling expert, determined a target audience that they knew would love these products. The tasty treat was an instant favourite amongst the targeted consumers with all of the samples being claimed in one weekend.

Each of these objectives were not only achieved, but as you will see, some results actually over performed against category benchmarks.
“Our experience with Sampler was great, they have a very user-friendly platform that’s easy for brands to engage with. Our Sampler representative was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We saw really successful numbers, and we were able to get into peoples’ homes that had never heard of us -- all around a very positive sampling experience.”
