    • 4’ Table

    • Clean black table cloth

    • Ice bucket (if ice is not available at your location, please ask the store where the closet spot is to get ice)

    • Sampling cups

    • Sign sent from the brand or chalkboard with chalk markers

    • 1 uninfused Blackberry Lavender seltzer & 1 uninfused Orange soda (as long as the client has matching product you will demo both uninfused flavors with 2 additional infused flavors - 1 being a seltzer & 1 being a soda)


    Table presentation is as important as personal representation. Please ensure your table has:

    • All available product types displayed (singles, 4-packs, variety packs)

    • Product chilled on ice in the ice bucket

    • Cups available for sampling (please use a new cup for each sample)

    • Signage that includes the names of the flavors being sampled as well as the words "Cantrip, THC Drinks, & 21+” You are welcome to include: “FREE SAMPLE” on your board.

    • Before purchasing ice, feel free to ask the store manager if they provide ice or have left over ice from another demo.

    • To track how many samples you’ve given, count your sample cups before you start & subtract the number that remain when you end your demo. Please offer a clean cup for every flavor sample.

    • To easily track sales, offer the stock on your table for sale. Example:

      • “If you love it, feel free to grab any of the drinks right off the table & check out as you normally would. If you’re keeping it in mind for next time this store always has it in stock in (cooler / shelf)”.

    • Cater to the customer, by asking if they prefer soda or seltzers. Example:

      • “Are you more of a soda or seltzer person? Or do you enjoy both?”

      • “Do you prefer sweet like soda or less sweet like a seltzer? Or would you like to try them all?”

      • If they ask for a recommendation or what your favorite is (& you are sampling them at the time), Blackberry Lavender and Orange soda are fan favorites.


    Great things to point out:

    • Resealable lids

      • Not all THC companies are doing it

      • You don’t have to go all in if you don’t want to. (great for higher mg cans and people who do not regularly consume THC or are unsure how it will affect them)

      • Keeps freshness & carbonation for up to 7-10 days

    • Dyes

      • We are working to remove dyes from all products. You will notice our newer flavors (Grape & Dr. Cantrip) are clear.

    • Sweetener

      • All products utilize natural cane sugar.


    Get Conversational

    • Keep a few short personal stories ready, like:

      • “The first time I tried Cantrip was on a picnic — it was such a chill and clear experience.”

      • “My friend has traded out her weekday wine so she doesn’t have a hangover / headache weekday mornings.”

    • Encourage safe and social use: “It’s great for happy hour, game night, or just winding down after work — without the hangover.”

    • Other key phrases that work:

      • “Microdosed for control, designed for enjoyment.”

      • “Uplifting, social, and balanced.”

      • “Fast-acting, clean ingredients, great taste.”

      • “Crafted for clarity — not couch-lock.

      You will be asked to text this within 10 minutes of your demo start time. This can be a photo of the store or of you with your table set up.

    2. Purchase necessary product (1 seltzer, 1 soda, ice). Save your receipt for your report. If you are only sampling uninfused, you will only purchase ice.

    3. Set up your table (See Q. What do I need to bring with me to a demo?)

    1. Clean up your area and put all remaining unopened product back on the shelves. Please make it look better than it was beforehand!

    2. Thank the manager on duty for having us & ask the manager or store employees if they would like leftover samples.

    3. Ask if there is anything else you need to do before you leave and make sure you get their name for your post demo report.

    4. Make sure you have all of your receipts and photos (product on shelf, table setup and photos of consumers sampling).

    5. Fill out your post-demo report as soon as possible after your to ensure an on-time payment.

  • Any changes to the schedule or cancellations can be made in writing up to 72 hours in advance.

    If you are sick the day before your demo, please let your MM know.

    Last minute changes (less than 12 hours) due to illness, personal problems, or accidents should include a phone call to your project manager. A text message is not considered adequate notice.

    We will do our best to reschedule these at a time when you are available. Rescheduling is not guaranteed.

    A no-call, no-show is any shift that is canceled within 2 hours or unattended. No-call, no-show may result in immediate dismissal. Phone calls with your manager can prevent dismissal.


    Remember: While you're representing Cantrip you're also a representative of The Booster Club and part of a team. Every time a cancellation occurs without sufficient notice it can have a large impact on the client’s relationship with the account and our relationship with the client. Good experiences allow us all as a team to continue to receive good work from good clients.

    1. Certain states / stores require samples that have NO active THC. We typically know this ahead of time & will let you know if this is the case for your demo. 

    2. A store may decide last minute that they want to do uninfused samples only. If you do not have them with you and this happens the client may not allow you to complete the demo.

    3. Some customers are not comfortable sampling active THC. An uninfused sample allows them to experience the quality of the product without compromise.

  • Before your first demo you will be sent an advance via Venmo to cover the cost of product.


    It is your responsibility to track how much of this stipend remains. When you need this replenished, please ask your Market Manager.


    When purchasing anything at a demo, including ice, take a photo of the receipt & submit it in your post-demo report. Receipt submissions are required for reimbursement.

Demo Troubleshooting | What do I do if…?

    1. Call the On-Call Manager (917-397-0905) ASAP to let them know.

      Wait for confirmation from the On-Call Manager before moving on to step 2.

    2. Fill out your post-demo report form selecting “1- Bad - event didn’t happen, no product, store issues” under the demo review section.


    Your Market Manager will confirm the store is well stocked when they call to confirm your tasting. However, a store may experience a shortage due to poor ordering, product popularity or miscommunication. In these rare cases, you will still be paid for the demo.

  • You can purchase more cans throughout your tasting if needed. Make sure to take a photo of and include all receipts in your post-demo report.

  • We always sample 1 seltzer and 1 soda. In this scenario you will buy one 4-pack of soda and one 4-pack of seltzer.


    Remaining unopened cans will be used for your future demos. Please include a note in your post-demo report if you do not need to submit a receipt due to already having cans & ice being provided.

  • There are several options. Please always start with option 1 and work your way down.

    1. Ask the store employees if they would like leftovers.

    2. If you have a double, you can use the cans at the next tasting. Ensure that they are resealed and in the trunk of your car while transporting.

    3. Bring them home to enjoy or share with friends (same rules apply while transporting).

    4. If none of these options work, you can dump them out at the store.

  • Yes. This varies by state. Reach out to your Manager if you have questions.


    Our general rule is less than 1oz of the infused flavors total

    example: If you have 2 infused flavors, sample less than 1oz total. If you have 3 infused

    flavors, you will still sample less than 1oz total.

    If you are sampling uninfused as well, you can still sample those in addition.

Common Consumer Questions & Suggested Responses

  • A: “Our seltzers currently start around 5mg & go up to 10mg. Our sodas start at 10mg and go up to 50mg. All of our cans are fully resealable so you can ease in, wait 10-15 minutes to see how you feel and either enjoy more or save the rest for later (best within 7-10 days).

    It’s designed for a smooth, social experience.”

  • A: “You’ll feel relaxed and uplifted — but it’s very mild, especially at the 5mg dose. Most people compare a 5mg can to the feeling they get from a light beer or glass of wine.”

  • A: “You’ll usually start feeling it in about 10–15 minutes thanks to the nano-emulsified THC — much quicker than a traditional edible which can take 30-45 minutes.”

  • A: “If you're consuming THC in any form, it’s safest not to drive. We always recommend enjoying responsibly, just like with alcohol.”

  • A: “Cantrip is formulated to have a great tasting experience. One of the things people love about Cantrip is the clean, crisp flavor. But, everyone's taste buds are different. Most people can't taste the THC but some people can catch a hint of it.”
