  • So it seems that it doesn't make any difference if you give your clubcard details or not as to wether or not you receive surveys for this company.

    Making it happen (NEW Signature Jan 2009)
  • Hi

    I signed up last year and so far have had 2 trials of Washing up liquid, anti bacterial wipes, shampoo, moisturiser, kids foam bath, mens deodrant, bust & neck firming cream, spot gel & concealer and a mens clay wrap.

    You do have to make sure your profiles are up to date and complete their surveys on time.

    Also if you are sent an invitation for a trial, you need to respond as soon as you get the email as the trials fill up very quickly.

    Do you get chosen more frequently if you fill in more boxes or not??? I buy the odd product from say Marks and Spencer and have ticked the box. Does that mean that I will be chosen for the M&S trials or not?

    Thanks

    I joined cosmeticresearchonline.com the middle of January 2006, since then I have had invitations for three trials. Unfortunately I was out of the country for 2 of the 3, but I am starting a new trial tomorrow. I don't know how they choose the participants, just make sure your profiles are complete. Happy testing :T

    I have been with them for about 18 months and since then have done trials mainly for moisturisers, although I did have a trial on cleansers and toners. I have received full size bottles postage paid, all just for testing for a week or two. Most products have been quite good too.

    The trials do fill up really quickly though, once the emails are sent. I missed out on 3 trials just before Xmas, and one trial product wasn't sent out in time.

    Keep your profile up to date and check in as soon as the email comes in (if you can) and you should get chosen eventually.

    Strangely enough I got an e-mail from them this morning inviting me to join a trial on a face scrub :) haven't heard a thing from them since Jan though :confused:

    I've been testing products for a couple of years now with this company, and as a family we tend to get a two or three trials a month with them.

    To all those who haven't had any offers to join a trial yet, or very few, have you completed the Training section? Once you have completed this, you are upgraded and are more likely to be invited to take part in trials. If you don't know how to do this, log in and click on the Information tab at the top of the page. Then click on Training and complete all of the questions. Hopefully you will then get more invites.

    Yes I have done this but I have a problem. Even though I have completed it, it is still available for me to do, is this the norm?? I have contacted Ayton Moon regarding this but have heard nothing. :confused:
