No marketing skills what-so-ever from company management. With every sampling event there is normally a consistency of what is required for display.
Large banners, appropriate colored tablecloths, specific type of tables to be used, consistency of sampling cups, positioning of beverages and other items on the table... all of these things should be in a marketing package and sent out to the samplers.
What is this, a big table for people to laze around on and the tiny table for the sampling display? LOL!
