bzz agent - consumer testing panel (aka lookie what i got to try out!)

[Totem]

"Another BzzAgent here! I did it when I was in college, I think that was when they were JUST starting up. My very first campaign was for the candy bar Take Five. That product hadn't gotten to my state yet, so it was cool to try something before anyone else. The first shipment was literally a box of like 30 candy bars. So awesome."

I remember that one! Do they even make Take 5 anymore?

I just got into the Latino Frosted Flakes campaign. Choco Zucaritas!

From what I saw, it will be a coupon so that you can go to the store and get the shade of your choice for free. 

The one I was in was probably two years ago. They must have gotten feedback like mine (wrong color = can't test) and changed their processes for this sort of thing.

Still nothing. I am surprised that I don't fit the demographic for the foundation. Sheesh. My husband is so sad we didn't get in for the beer tap (due to living in Chicago) because that is something we would have continued using!

I would have loved getting into that one.

I haven't had any surveys in a really long time.

My hubby would have loved that one too.

Yay got into the cover girl foundation one my third campaign in 2 months

 

[KeepOnSingin]

I'm in the Garnier BB cream campaign, so I'm not expecting to get into the Neutrogena one. Too bad because I hate the BB cream.

Dug out my email (what did we ever do before gmail and archive?) and it stated:  Also on the campaign website there was a search option for all the stores in San Diego that carried them.  They were mostly 7-11, Liquor stores or Albertson's (a grocery store).  Good luck in finding it! (that is so weird about GA law!)

GREETINGS BZZAGENT Your Draftmark BzzKit is en route
If you haven’t received your BzzKit yet, don’t worry - the key to enjoying fresh draught beer from your very own fridge is coming. Once your BzzKit arrives, head out to redeem the coupon for a FREE Draftmark in-home tap system and a refill (up to $55). Then crack open that BzzGuide in lieu of cracking open a beer. You may discover pouring from a tap is more your speed.

Hey look, you did get it!  Nice!

About finding it, I'm clueless right now.  I checked their website, but Georgia law prohibits them from listing stores that sell the refills.  Isn't that lovely?  It listed distributors you could call and ask. I'll check into it more another time when I'm a little less swamped but feel free to share if you figure it out!

I do *think* they said they were sending the system which I hope even though that feels unlikely.  The wording was:

Join now and be one of the first people in your area to try Draftmark. Once you’re in, we’ll send you an amazing BzzKit, complete with your very own Draftmark in-home tap system.*

[SIZE=10pt]*BzzAgents will need to purchase Draftmark[/SIZE] refills separately.

Was your invitation worded this way as well?  I'll obviously report what happens!

Oh, so it sounds like there is a really good chance that they are actually sending the system then.  Thanks for digging up the email!  I hope they have the refills at convenient places.  The store locator says this:

Due to state law, we cannot direct you to a specific retailer. Please contact your local wholesaler below to find the Draftmark near you.

Nothing like having to call and write a bunch of stuff down.  Bleeh.  At least they recently allowed us to buy alcohol on Sundays.  I'm originally from New Orleans, so I don't know what all these ridiculous drinking rules are.  Last call, too?  What the heck?  Hah!

 

[lovepink]

No worries I am one of those people who save emails and I even have folders for various things!  I can't wait to hear how the new round of testers experience with it is!

Wow what a bunch of bzz kills (no pun intended) they are in Georgia!  I grew up in Missouri where they sold no alcohol on Sundays.  Even now I think you can only buy beer.  And when I lived in Iowa you cannot buy beer until after 7am (my husband worked 3rd shift and tried to buy some after work!)  I have always lived where they had last call (usually 1:50 for 2am closing lol)

Wow I bet living in New Orleans was amazing!  It is on my list of places to visit!

It was...maybe our campaigns are different, because I found a few blog postings from a previous round and they were sent coupons. So far all I've found from the site are two in ATL and one in Stone Mountain. I'll call a few stores local tomorrow and see if they sell them, just in case. I would much rather have the kit mailed then to track somewhere to find it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hi All-  Apparently I either suck as a Bzz agent or the people I know were not interested in the coupons I had for the Schick Hydro silk razor because I have 4 $5 off coupons left!  If anyone is interested PM me and I will mail it tomorrow.  They expire 4/30/13.  These razors are $9.99 at Target and more at places like Walgreens and CVS but I know with the bucks and deals and clubs people can pick em up cheap!  Let me know if interested!

Funny thing about the law: A few years back why Dad bought a case of Bud, and there was a chewed piece of gum stuck to a can. The called to complain, and they were going to send him coupons, until he told them he lived in GA. He ended up with a very cheaply made hat instead.

Those 3 places listed aren't stores that sell it, just distributors that might be able to tell you where they distribute it and you can then buy it, so there's a super annoying extra step through the middleman there.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And womp womp about the hat replacement!

You can't order alcohol anywhere until 12:30 pm on Sundays here which is annoying for brunch!

<3 New Orleans will always be a part of me.  It's a special, great place to visit.

ha ha, I don't know. I hope so, those were some really good candy bars! I just remember the feeling of glee, opening up a box that was filled to the brim with chocolate! I was living out of the country for several years, and even though I've been back here for a while now, I still feel kinda out of it when it comes to stuff. I haven't actually *looked* for this candy since I've been back. I'm going to have to now, just to sate my curiosity.

Speaking of, I got into the Private Selection campaign, too. Free cake! nom nom!

Does anyone know if it's against the rules to copy and paste your blog review into the bzzagent "review" tab?  I wrote a long review for the Garnier BB cream on my blog, and I don't really have anything else new to say! I don't want to write up a whole new one, but I also don't want to get in trouble for cheating somehow.

 

[hiheather]

Whenever I have to post reviews on websites other than Bzzagent's I always just copy and paste the same review. Always get 'good' review on my stuff...
