What Brands Say

Brands doing real work in this market

★★★★★
"We ran 20 Whole Foods demos in LA in a single month. Every ambassador showed up, every report was in our dashboard by end of day. The ROI was undeniable."
Jake M.
Head of Retail, MUSH

"Erewhon is a tough market — ambassadors need to know the product cold. Shelvian ambassadors come prepared. The in-app training quiz is a game changer."
Priya K.
VP Marketing, OLIPOP

FAQ

Common questions about LA demos

Can't find what you're looking for? Talk to our team →

Most LA brands get their first shift filled within 2–4 hours of posting. We have 142 active ambassadors in the market. For same-week events, post at least 48 hours in advance. For high-demand periods like Q4, we recommend 1 week lead time.
Shelvian ambassadors are authorized at Whole Foods, Erewhon, Sprouts, Bristol Farms, Gelson's, Ralphs, and 180+ independent specialty retailers across LA. If your target retailer isn't listed, contact us — we add new doors monthly.
You can ship samples directly to the ambassador's address, which they provide in-app. Alternatively, ambassadors can pick up product at the store if you have a receiving-team relationship there. We recommend direct-to-ambassador for the smoothest experience — most LA ambassadors confirm receipt within 24 hours of shipping.
Every completed event generates a GPS-stamped arrival confirmation, setup photo, 2–3 mid-event photos, close-out photo, estimated samples distributed, consumer feedback notes (if collected), and a shareable PDF receipt. All of this is in your dashboard within 2 hours of the event ending.
LA minimum wage is $17.28/hr (2026). The Shelvian platform minimum for ambassador shifts is $18/hr. Average LA ambassador pay is $22/hr. Premium shifts at high-demand retailers like Erewhon typically pay $24–28/hr and fill within minutes of posting.
Our show rate in LA is 98%. In the rare case of a no-show, we auto-fill from a standby waitlist within 2 hours, issue you a brand credit for the inconvenience, and the ambassador receives a penalty strike. Three strikes results in permanent removal from the platform. You're never left without coverage.
