    Hi all!

    Has anyone else had a PM from some guy called freebie_hunter advertising himself/his site??

    I saw your posts on the freebie hunters forum, and thought they were interesting. If it's OK with you, I'd like to get your opinion on something.

    I'm one of the founders of S*****B****** (I'm not giving him advertising space).com. I saw you used BuzzAgent and we're pretty similar.

    Basically how we work is we let people discover new food items by sending people a basket of new food products every month. The baskets aren't free, but they still work out a lot cheaper than supermarket prices (at least 50% off). In exchange, we get people to give feedback on the food items they've tried so brands can test their new products.

    Anyway, we're still doing market research right now, so we're not selling anything but I was wondering if you'd mind helping me with some feedback on the concept and if it's something you'd be interested in?

    Thanks a lot!

    Isaac,

    I've reported it because I was fuming :mad:

    Got my Lambrini vouchers yesterday :D

    Yes, it says PPR next to his name.

    Yes, I have just seen this private message in my inbox.
    I put it into google and saw the baskets are £5.99 with not much info... Then decided to look on here.

    Anyone on the Dairylea campaign? Probably the poorest one I have been involved in. One tub of Dairylea and some 30p off vouchers. To do Buzz properly I really think you need to be able to offer those who are going to try it a decent reduction.

    Anyone got the free from dairy? Would have liked this one as have a daughter who is lactose intolerant and there are not too many products out there!

    I thought it was okay as there was the voucher for the free item as well as the 30p off ones. Better if they give 2 free voucher so you can try both the tub and the triangles but it didnt strike me really as worse than any of the other campaigns, most of them are like that giving a voucher for just one free and then discounts - tesco bakery one is the same?

    I didn't get that either, and I have 2 lactose intolerant children.

    Tesco sent me a voucher to get a free bottle of almond milk last month, but we hated it.

    I had this one and another exactly the same from hf100, he hadn't been ppr'd. I thought newbies couldn't send pm's.

    The 'goodness' campaign looks like another discounted product rather than a free sample.

  • I haven't been on a BzzAgent campaign in forever! I remember back awhile ago I got five free packs of gum sent to me and a bunch of coupons. Hopefully they come out with some new, better campaigns.

    Good Morning all, yesterday I went to Tesco for my Lambrini cider free sample. All they had was the large bottles of Summer fruits and forest fruits. I choose the forest fruits. Took some photo's of the shelf. The price tag was £3.09.

    Wile I was out postie delivered the Handy cans trial.
    The small cans look good, great size for traveling or putting in your pocket for walking.

    This morning I got an invite for the "free from dairy".
    From what I read on the info you have to pick up dairy free items over £3 to use the money off £3 spend voucher. Then have the usual share vouchers.
