Our Family

sara_polaroid2 SARA SIMPLY SAMPLING is a family business. As individuals, we share a hands-on approach with human to human contact in everything we do. Above all, we’re a team. We have always worked hard, but we have never forgotten to have fun in the process. When we first learned about sampling, it was a service no one in Alberta offered. We really liked the idea of promoting a product in person and in real time. And so we gave it a try, and the rest is SARA.

We have grown to become the leading brand experience company in Western Canada. In the process, we have expanded our family to include head offices in Edmonton and Calgary with over 24 staff and a host of associates across major cities in Western Canada. Working from our warehouses and our customer service groups, we manage over 4,000 product demonstration events monthly.

We welcome the opportunity to show food and beverage companies real results and we get to work with real people, our Brand Ambassadors, who enjoy engaging with customers and bringing their own personalities to answering their questions. People ask where the name SARA came from. The truth is that it’s the name our youngest gave to a favorite pet and remains our company name today.
