Just wondering if anybody else out there is a member of Bzzagent.com. It's a site that has companies come to them to have products tested, and the testers get the items free, but have to tell people about their experience with the item, then report back on the reaction they got. I have been a member for about 4 years now, and over the years I have gotten, a case Breakfast bars, a sonicare toothbrush valued at like $100, shampoo, make up (Just got Covergirl lip gloss and eye shadow today), and many other things, I just can't remember them all. The site is free, and it's not like you get offered to join a campaign every day, but every couple of months they will offer you a campaign to join and try products. And the better you are at sending in reports, and spreading info, the more likely you are to get to join new campaigns. Plus your box of goodies to try, usually comes with coupons to hand out. Mine today came with 6 $2 off any covergirl products. So anybody else a member, and if so, what items have you tested and buzzed about?
About 15 years ago I used to work for a research company that would give me cases of unmarked product to give away to people I knew then go back at 2 days, 7 days and 14 days to get consumer feedback and suggestions. We tested the Dove lotion line before it was introduced and Oil of Olay had a soap bar that had walnut shell and fibers in it. That one never made it to market..... it was a fun job!!! I love those kinds of companies - Thanks for the heads up!!
