WE SAY: This 25-plus-year agency is back in school with the High School Grad Pack, a sampling program reaching 30 percent of graduating seniors. It also works with a national group to sample at another fave teen hangout, the mall. Innova samples or mails the kits for clients.

RECESSION BUSTER: Focus on details. By streamlining the kitting process, making samples easier to ship, cutting production, storage and handling costs, Innova saved one client 20 percent over the previous year.
