Sam’s Club is currently taking bids from companies to run the Demo Departments. Sam’s has been unhappy with the current companies that run the demos throughout the country and is looking for companies that will lower the cost and deliver better member satisfaction. Sam’s has been unhappy for a couple years now with Shoppers Events, CROSSMARK and (ASM) Advantage Sales and Marketing the current companies running all of Sam’s demo program. Over the past few years Sam’s has been unhappy with: Demo execution, inability to run specialized programs beyond food samples, loss of events, poor management and increase in cost associated with demos.
