Strong, personal relationships often lead to demonstration allowances. Maybe your demonstration gets a shout-out in an email blast.
Maybe retailers let you integrate other products into your presentation. Yes, you are selling single serve coffee machines. But if your retailer lets you implement extra LG TVs to loop commercials, your demonstration increases in show value. Stop buyer movement. Demonstrators can only talk to a few people at once. Let screens, commercials, slideshows, anything help take the burden of sales off the demonstrators shoulders. This allows your floorspace to always be selling, even if your demonstrator is caught in an upsell.
Raise customer excitement even further with price-based incentives. Hand out coupons. They require customer response and put the burden of opting-out squarely on their shoulders. Between testing samples and engaging with demonstrators, buyers are faced with implicit pressure on all fronts to return some kindness or engagement in the form of purchase.
The shame of rejecting this relationship closes as well as the most veteran seller. Leave souvenirs and connect virtually. Stick with the customer after the conversation ends. Whether that be a phone PopSocket featuring your company logo an increasingly popular handout or branded drink koozies, find a way for customers to go home with a portable experience or memento from the conversation.
Get customers on email lists, offer entry in sweepstakes or virtual coupons. Get Facebooks; get Linkedins. Offer discounts, announcements, and rewards to shoppers who engage online. Demonstrations have a high rate of customer retention for the relationships they build.
Buyers want to engage further; grant them the opportunity. Merchandisers need strong relationships with retailers to ensure their promotional strategies are being met. With strong trade relationships, retailers are more likely to help maintain displays and general product merchandising strategies in your absence.
These are only a few tips to establish strong retailer relationships. While every retailer is different, respect is universal. Understand and amend what concerns retailers face and they will be more than happy to assist your in-store promotional needs.

Many recording labels have very specific rules about demos that you have to follow if you want to make it through the door. Some require you to get permission to send a demo in the first place. Consider that unsolicited demos could get a label in legal trouble. If they're not careful, an artist could claim that the label stole the song from the demo. Demo policies can usually be found on label websites. Respect the requests of the studios and labels. A demo doesn't have to be long and drawn out to be effective.

Like mentioned earlier, collecting old demos and making full albums of songs or classics of them could be worth some money but other than demos are not really marketable materials.
