Field marketing in Nashville

Nashville has a strong events and retail scene. We run field programs across the metro and tie them to your Tennessee plan.

Field marketing in Nashville: what to know

Nashville is a fast-growing city with a strong events and hospitality scene. Brands can reach shoppers in stores and in the venues, festivals and neighborhoods where people spend their weekends.

We staff sampling, audits and events across the Nashville metro, and connect them to a Tennessee plan. Ambassadors check in by GPS, follow your brief and send a recap with photos.

Grocery, specialty and natural retail, convenience and package stores all carry consumer brands. Demo rules are set by each retailer, and we confirm them up front.

Festivals, concerts and sports weekends provide high-traffic sampling settings. We staff them with trained ambassadors.

  • A visitor economy

    Visitors and locals shop and socialize in different places. Plans work best when they cover both.

  • Neighborhood retail

    East Nashville, The Gulch, 12 South and the suburbs each have their own feel and shopper profile.

  • Events and venues

    Music, sports and festival traffic creates strong windows for sampling and staffing.
