    Combo Breaker First Post Mortgage-free Glee! Rampant Recycler
    I had a packet of wipes from Clicks Research to trial.
    First I have had from them in months. They look like a pack of wet wipes.
    Use at least 2 a day for 2 weeks and complete the questionnaire at the end of the study.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    Just a quick word of advice about the product trials, you're not supposed to say what the product is to anyone!
    I know it sounds silly here, where people are anonymous, but if manufacturers are developing a new product, they want to keep the details quiet so as to not hand rivals ANY info.

    Got the Complan too... not a trial! And the free pure grape juice (£2.28) that went through the till at £2.59...

    Do you mean what the product is or the brand name? The "coke" I mentioned in an earlier post is a blind taste, maybe I should have said "cola". Thanks.
    I have just received a large bag of vegetable crisps to trial.

    I got the fizzy drink trial too, :D . I'd given delivery instructions to put it in a safe place in the garden and only thought to look when I saw your posting, so thank you, you did me a favour! Hope your crisps go well with the drink. :)

    No, it wasn't you. I have seen that the trialled product has been named in full by posters, on here and other threads too, and for every survey I've ever done, you click on a declaration saying you undertake not to reveal anything about it outside the survey.

    If you say what the new trialled product is, you aren't doing the manufacturers any favours. I know it's not on the same scale as huge industrial espionage, but it's still making information available to market rivals.

    I once got into a little bit of trouble with the company I've got a contract with for mentioning one of our clients on an internet forum related to the sector I work in. I'd just joined as an associate and was keen to promote the firm. I was asked not to be quite so enthusiastic in future, as it was supplying information to our opposition. :o

    Forgot to mention the free copy of the children's newspaper that arrived today . My grandchildren will enjoy that.

    Thanks. I wasn't in when mine were delivered and they couldn't open my back gate so threw the package over the gate, good job is wasn't anything breakable. :eek: The drink is lovely and so are the crisps.:D
