The Orchard by Tesco Product Testing

fallon8

Hi
This is a question to everyone who is a member of the orchard scheme.
Do you all post your your experiences on twitter or facebook? And for the ones who don't, do you still get regular invites? I'm not a member of either and don't plan on joining in the near future. But I know I can manage the activities of asking friends and family, writing reviews to orchard and sharing my thoughts online with a link.
But do you think that would be enough to receive further invites?
Also on average how often do you personally do activities and how much detail do you give and still get invites?
As this is the first time I'm doing this programme and don't want to waste time writing loads of reviews and feedback (minus twitter and Facebook) and then find out it wasn't enough to get further invites.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice

Hi

Never post comments on Twitter or Facebook and still receive invites.

Some campaigns I've posted 3-4 reviews/conversation-not much I can say about Hovis bread, whereas others eg Tesco Surrey Quays revamp I posted 6 as there is a bakery, food to go, fruit & veg and more.

You can write as much or as little as you want and upload photos if you can.

Where on their website do I leave a review?

Not overly impressed to be truthful, my local Tesco does not have the Elfe spuds and the only British veg that I had today were carrots, the pears I had came from Belgium! So much for British Harvest lol.

Log into your Orchard account, click on menu at the top of the page, and then home. It should bring up a page that displays your active programmes and, towards the middle, a tab labelled 'Crack On!' If you click on that, it should bring up a page containing an activities checklist.

Hope that's of help.

I tried to use one of my Hovis vouchers today, but because the bread was 'on offer' for less than the coupon the till operator had to ask 'permission' to use it. She only put it through for the offer price:cool:

I had this problem as well. I tried to get it as part of a click and collect order but the coupon code would not work as that week it was less than the cost of the loaf.
In the end I took it off the order and just got Tesco bread I had a mailing MOC for.

Finally got an invite to another campaign!

This one is for the Free From range, which is brilliant because we're just experimenting with gluten free foods to see if that has been the cause of some problems.

Get excited! Your Orchard Pack is on the way, and includes:

• A coupon for £3 off any product from the Tesco Free From range (minimum spend £3) to use in-store or online at Tesco.com
• Pass along coupons to share with your friends and family who also want to buy products from the Free From range

Once that special day arrives (which, in this case, we’ve laboriously calculated to be 28 October), we’ll get everything activated on the Programme Homepage, then drop you an email to let you know that the Tesco Free From range Programme is officially in full swing.

I have had

Fruit
ice cream
Bread
Beer/cider
Fish

lovely to have a chance to try new things for free :-)

I do the surveys and the write ups though as I am trying to add the points to my Clubcard :-)

My first two reviews/conversations for the fish campaign was approved and my score went up and I got also club card points for them. The next two reviews/photo for the fish were approved, too, and got club card points again . But the score stayed the same? anybody had the same? Thanks.

Points are not automatically added to your score each time....you may start off getting regular additions but it does fluctuate and after a while your score only increases if you do exceptional reviews or link into things like facebook/twitter.
my score has been 8.3 or thereabouts for months and sometimes it drops purely because I havent been invited to a campaign for a while
