Try & Buy: The 2025 PPP Sample Program

Discover Something New—For Free

The 2025 PPP Try & Buy Sample Program gives you the opportunity to explore innovative new products from vendors you’ve never purchased from before—at absolutely no cost. Request samples, learn directly from brands, and find fresh favorites for your store.

☕ Kick Off with Morning Coffee

Live: September 15th at 11:30 AM EST

We’re starting the program with a live Morning Coffee Zoom session featuring select vendors from our Sample Showcase. It’s your chance to hear directly from these brands, learn about their products, and get inspired to try something new.
