This Was A Genius Marketing Move 🤯📈

Purple began including small pieces of its signature mattress grid material in customer packages so people could experience the texture before buying a mattress. Then TikTok discovered the samples. People began collecting them, using them as fidget toys, and even trying to gather enough pieces to build a full-size DIY mattress. Instead of stopping the trend, Purple embraced it. The company recognized that every person holding a piece of its product was another potential customer. The small samples reportedly cost around $5 each, but the campaign generated millions in sales and turned an ordinary packaging insert into a viral marketing phenomenon.
