You Got Into Sprouts.

Now Let's Get You Noticed.

We get it. launching in Sprouts is a big deal. But standing out at the shelf level? That's where most brands stumble.

This guide is your inside look at how CPG brands are building real momentum in Sprouts—not with celebrity influencers, but with everyday creators who shop there, live nearby, and actually use your product.

At Hummingbirds, we've helped brands generate awareness, content, and customer love across 70+ cities nationally. This is your roadmap, including how to prove it's working once you do.

Why Word-of-Mouth Still Wins

The most trusted marketing isn't an ad—it's a recommendation

Real people sharing real experiences will always outperform a polished campaign that doesn't feel relatable. That's why we bet on authenticity every time.

92% of people trust recommendations from friends and family over traditional ads

84–85% of U.S. retail sales still happen in physical stores

Everyday creators = everyday shoppers (Sprouts shoppers included)

Hummingbirds aren't influencers. They're everyday creators sharing authentic experiences.

Take it further.

Creators get you noticed. Offers prove it moved.

Once your creator campaign is live in Sprouts, Offers adds the next layer. Create Offers tied to your SKUs, and our community of shoppers discovers them, tries your product, and uploads their receipt to verify the purchase. Every redemption shows up in the same dashboard where your creator campaign already lives, so your content and your velocity data are always in one place.
