About cds
We are Club Demonstration Services (CDS). We are the preferred in-house product demonstration service provider to Costco (think: Costco Samples). Our teams market our clients’ products through special events and product demonstrations, influence purchase decisions and drive sales.
our history
CDS was founded in 1988 on the foundation of having well-trained associates and high standards as our top priority. We first began doing in-store demos in 16 locations in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix. We now serve over 550 locations across the United States.
Over the past 30+ years, we have continued to grow internationally into 12 countries. We launched in Mexico in 1992, then in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Spain, France, Canada, and China, New Zealand and Sweden.
In 2018, CDS/Daymon joined Advantage Solutions, further expanding the Advantage footprint and supporting the road to becoming a public company in 2020.
We base our success on our longtime relationship with Costco, the high quality of our Sales Advisors, and our strong execution rate, resulting in increased sales and brand awareness for the vendors we support.
our mission
At CDS we strive to “Create Member Moments that Matter” by showcasing products and their value with high quality demonstrations and services, at great value for Costco and its vendors.
