    If people are regularly sharing your product favorably across social media, this tool will help you automate, segment and display that social content across websites, emails and events. Products as big as destinations can benefit from Stackla all the way down to merchandise such as clothing. Stackla can not benefit your product if your product is not very visual or if people aren't talking about your product.

    Sampler
    I have a skincare mini set and would like to partner with Sampler. However, they cannot come up with an immediate solution to suit my sampling needs. This means that their operations are sometimes limited by their current capacity. If the product is of small size, it seems that they are always ready for service.

    Sampler
    • The sampler provides great quality sample products with blazingly fast delivery, ensuring we can try various products whenever we want.
    • I get to try new brands without wasting the whole product if I don't like using the product. So it is eco-friendly in that way by reducing chemical waste.
    • It helps the professionals who are in business administration responsibility, to make a perfect and apt purchase, without any miss.
    • One get to learn about a lot of new products, trying them and end up being loyal to the brand/product. So Sampler helps in establishing the necessary customer acquisition part for a new brand.

    Cons
    Nosto
    • The UI can generally be confusing, and there are roughly four steps with detailed settings that don't feel intuitive to create one widget.

    Sampler
    • The number of membership tiers should be increased so that users can select from a wider variety of monthly samples.
    • Items that are popular quickly disappear.
    • Item tracking could be improved. Emails are sometimes delayed/slow.

    Minimal experience with CrowdRiff, but the user interface is generally a little more friendly. Stackla was chosen after a thorough R&D process and the potential to partner with our company and industry.

    Sampler
    The market for sample-type websites is very fluid. There are many companies that pop up one day, then all of a sudden disappear. Sampler has been around for multiple years and has kept the same business model. They're not perfect, but their longevity and their relaxed nature with reviews are why many like them. Whereas other sample and review outlets require customers to write reviews or have items that many customers simply do not want.

    • In some situations, including Stackla event walls in a sponsorship package has increased our bottom line for an event we plan.
    • Stackla saves you quite a bit of time when creating social media albums to display on your website.
