See GratisIQ in Action

From sample to sale, automatically

See how GratisIQ tracks the full guest journey, verifies purchases at the POS, and turns every sample into real, measurable sales data.

Frictionless Setup

Onboard venues in minutes, automate payouts, and keep your entire sampling network activation-ready at all times — without manual coordination.

Real-Time Insights

Track every redemption, measure real sales lift, and monitor ROI using verified point-of-sale data.

Ongoing Engagement

Reconnect with consumers 1:1 after the sample, and re-activate venues in just a few clicks — turning one-off trials into repeat touchpoints.

Built for Volume

Launch, manage, and repeat campaigns at scale with a self-service platform designed for high-frequency, multi-venue activation.

How It Works

A seamless, intuitive guest-to-POS flow

Consistent, on-brand sampling experiences that fit naturally into everyday venue operations.

Steps:

  1. Scan & Start: Guest scans a QR code from in-venue signage to begin the experience.

  2. Consent & Verify: Guest confirms legal age and opts in to terms, conditions, and marketing communications.

  3. Brand Engagement: Guest interacts with branded content and claims their sample.

  4. Guest Identification: Guest enters their name and mobile number to complete the request.

  5. POS-verified fulfillment: Staff verifies the confirmation screen, logs the order through the POS, and serves.

Rodney Williams
Former President, Diageo Beer Company and Diageo Canada
"Finally, there's an accountability and measurement tool for the on-trade. GratisIQ enables brands to quantify sampling impact in bars, clubs, and restaurants — the channel where trial and loyalty are built."

Christopher Caruso
Former VP Of Programmatic Enablement, Nielsen Catalina Solutions
"Connecting marketing exposure to actual purchase behavior has long been one of CPG's hardest measurement problems. GratisIQ brings that connection closer to real time."

Ryan Callahan

Sampling Event Guest
Denver, CO
"I tried a mezcal I'd never heard of, answered a quick survey afterward, and ended up using a discount to buy a bottle at a nearby store. It was really easy — and I've got a new go-to mezcal now."
