BzzAgent: Test new products for FREE!



In the past few weeks, I've received invitations to sign up with three different BzzCampaigns through BzzAgent. I'm really excited about getting the chance to test out the new products they're sending my way!

I've posted about BzzAgent before, but here's a quick recap:

BzzAgent (pronounced "Buzz agent") is a word-of-mouth (WOM) marketing company that puts products directly in the hands of consumers to test out. As someone who's studied advertising and marketing, I think this is a really, really cool concept. Plus, it means FREE stuff for you!

It's completely free to sign up, and you're under absolutely no obligation to buy anything. Once you sign up and fill out some short surveys, you'll be contacted to participate in campaigns. While most of the campaigns are free, some require a small fee. You can decline any campaign you don't want to participate in, and it won't affect your eligibility for future campaigns.

In the past year, I've received several really awesome products to test out: L'Oreal Double Extend Lash Boosting System, Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions products, Bic Soleil Bella razors, and a Glade Sense & Spray. Each campaign kit contains a free, full-size product, as well as coupons and even samples to share with friends.

I'm a huge, huge fan of BzzAgent.

Product Testing and Online Communities

I've posted about these sites before, but I wanted to remind you about some of the great product testing and sampling programs that you can join for FREE. Each link will take you to my post about that particular site, and you'll be able to see a description, information on how to join and so on. I'm a member of each of these sites:


This site is one of my favorites! I've received some really great products to test out and review from them.


Another one of my favorites! They offer lots of great samples and coupons to try out. I've also received several FREE product coupons through them.


This site offers great product testing opportunities. I've received several coupons for FREE products to try out.


This site offers a TON of great coupons for S.C. Johnson brands and an occasional freebie.


I've received some good FREE product coupons and other high-value Kraft coupons through this program.


I've received lots of great high-value Kashi coupons and samples through the Kashi community.


I haven't received as much through this site as others have reported, but it's still worth checking out.

Are you a Vocalpoint member yet?




Vocalpoint is one of my favorite online communities. This site is packed with information and tips, recipes, product reviews, and some really awesome coupons. Vocalpoint also offers opportunities to test out and review new products.

As with other online communities similar to this one, they do expect you to share your opinion and review any products they send you to test out. (The review surveys are always easy to complete, and it's fun to see what everyone else thought.)

One thing I absolutely LOVE about Vocalpoint is that they frequently send me coupons for free products and other neat goodies just because I'm a member. I don't have to search out and request these freebies - they just show up. And it's not junk mail. I've received some great samples, free product coupons and various high-value coupons.

There's no fee to sign up, but you do have to qualify to become a member. (Although this site targets moms, I believe anyone who is 18 or older and willing to share their opinions will qualify.) To see if you qualify, just fill out this short questionnaire.

Join Pssst... to try new products for FREE



Pssst... is a really neat program operated by General Mills. I love being a member!

Through Pssst... I've had the opportunity to try some great new products, including Pillsbury Simply Cookies and Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt - all for FREE!

My favorite thing about Pssst... is that they just let me know what they're sending me, and then it shows up in my mailbox. It's really convenient, and I don't feel like I have to jump through hoops to receive their offers. All they ask for is your feedback, usually through a survey.

Joining is FREE and easy. To get started, just go here. To learn more, go here.

Product testing program: SheSpeaks


SheSpeaks is a great program that I joined a couple of months ago. It's an online community for women to connect with other women where you can talk and share your opinions on various topics. There are a ton of product reviews on this site, which I love! Plus, you'll have opportunities to test out new products and services.

As with many other product testing programs, all they ask in return is that you write a review and share your opinions (good or bad) with the rest of the community. It's really that easy.

It's completely FREE and easy to sign up! All you need to do is go here and fill out the short form. For more information, check out the FAQs section.

(You may have seen an issue of Fitness magazine in my last mail call. SheSpeaks gave me this free subscription to review after taking a short survey!)

KRAFT First Taste

Many companies have special programs that allow consumers to "test drive" new products and find out the latest product news. Kraft First Taste is one such program, and it's definitely one of my favorites!

With Kraft First Taste, you get to experience new Kraft products before anyone else. You'll also have the opportunity to see what other community members think about new Kraft products. Since joining, I've received several special offers, including various coupons (really good coupons) and coupons to redeem for FREE products. Most recently, I was offered the chance to try out the new Velveeta Shells & Cheese individual cups. A coupon for two free cups is currently on its way to me!

The sign-up process for Kraft First Taste is completely free and easy. All you need to do to register is go here.

BzzAgent


A week or so ago, I talked about receiving a free Glade Sense & Spray in the mail from a company called BzzAgent. I think this is a great company and just wanted to take the time to tell you a little more about BzzAgent.

While most of the campaigns are free, some require a small fee. However, you are free to decline any campaign you don't want to participate in. Earlier today, for example, I declined an invitation for a campaign that required a small fee.

You'll also have opportunities to participate in "frogponds." Frogponds give you the opportunity to visit and review different websites.
