Have you joined SheSpeaks? It’s a great “word-of-mouth marketing” program that invites members to try new products, review them, and help spread the word about them. There is no catch, you simply sign-up for free and they will invite you to try new things. I got to try the Ore-Ida Steam ‘n Mash Potatoes and Emergen-C Kidz products for free (plus they gave me coupons to share). And now they’ve got a new SheSpeaks Parties program and their first party is for Haagen-Dazs ice cream
At SheSpeaks you will never be asked to buy anything or pay a fee, and they will not sell or give out your personal information. It really is a great resource to try new products. They just ask that you give them some feedback by completing short surveys. I’ve been really pleased with my experience with SheSpeaks and I hope that some of my readers are enjoying it too!
Word-of-mouth programs are a great way to try new products for free and you also will often get access to high-value printable coupons. Most are easy to participate in and don’t take much time to do so. BzzAgent probably requires the largest amount of time of the programs I know about because you have to create specific reports.
Other word-of-mouth marketing programs to join:
VocalPoint
Kraft First Taste
Pssst (General Mills)
All You Reality Checkers
House Party
BzzAgent
What has your experience been with SheSpeaks or other word-of-mouth marketing programs?
I am on the Kraft First taste and liked the coupons I got at first but now nothing! I signed up for bzzagent but have yet to be picked for anything even though I get on there all the time doing surveys/reviews. I just got picked for my first House Party one and I hope it goes great!
I was dissappointed with with House Party. I found the one I did kinda pointless….and not worth all the effort.Just my opinion.
I’m on Kraft First Taste, but after the initial offers, there seems to be a long lag time for new coupons or offers.
I’m a member of Vocal Point but didn’t know of the others. Thanks so much for sharing the info!
I love BzzAgent! Have been a member since 2003 and done over 50 campaigns. These sites are great for exposing you to new products, for free or at a very very steep discount.
Love BzzAgent! Got 3 things on the way as I write! Haven’t gotten anything for awhile though. I will have to try some of the others you’ve recommended.. .Thanks!
Great links! I’ve signed up for them all including your email list :) Thanks so much for letting me know about it!Connie
I’ve done the First Taste, She Speaks, BzzAgent. With HouseParty, either not selected or don’t respond fast enough when offered opportunity. I like the ones I have done. Nice to try new things.
Frugal Girls – Thank you for reminding me about the AllYou Reality Checkers! I’ll add them to the list – I kind of forgot because I just haven’t gotten anything free yet from them. But I joined and I fill out the short surveys when I get them.-HeatherFreebies 4 Mom
Sounds great! I also love the AllYou Reality Testers. After joining, they mailed me a full size Sally Hansen nail polish in the mail to try and review! :)
