Bzz Agents?

[DearDaisyinDurham]

anyone else? anyone? just got accepted for my first campaigns.

this would kinda fit in w/ the budget thread started a couple of months ago, or part time jobs for Canadians?:)

[DearDaisyinDurham]

and on a budget note, this is from shoestring shopping's free newsletter:

Enjoy the weekend. After a relaxing Friday, get ready to check out these deals:

EDDIE BAUER - Spring Sale - The Vaughan Store is having a Spring Spectacular Sale from Monday March 24 to Sunday March 30, 2008

My hubby and I have been doing the Bzz for about a year now. We've done a few pretty cool campaigns.
Just got our Oreo Cakesters in the mail yesterday. Yum!

[DearDaisyinDurham]

oh good! someone I can ask my ?'s! lol
we're waiting for the oreo kit

[mtmbyck]

Call me a dummy but what is a BZZ Agent??

[DearDaisyinDurham]

I just joined so am not well versed; but you sign up to try products which they send to you

[mickeywho?]

Go to bzzagent.com and sign up. You answer surveys to help them determine which campaigns would suit you. You are then sent invitations to join bzz campaigns. You are sent products to try and are expected to talk about them (that's the bzz) to family, friends, coworkers etc., and then send in reports to bzzagent about your experiences. It's really cool getting the different products in the mail - you also get great coupons for those products.
Ask away with any questions!

yes! do that! lol! thank goodness you could outline that so well. I have yet to do my first campaign so I don't know anything yet but it's free and it sounds fun.

[mtmbyck]

And it's totally free?? Not even shipping charges? Heck, I'll do almost anything for free. I'll give it a go.......

[declansdad]

It seems to be concentrated in te Ontario region. I have been signed up for more than 2 years and have participated in very few of the bigger campaings. Mostly just the online campaigns here.

Waiting for my Oreo Cakesters! Have enjoyed being a BZZZ agent for almost a year, but the Cdn campaigns are few and far between. Last year I think I only did three - one for Lipton/Nestea singles (got huge bag of free ones plus coupons), and one for an electric toothbrush, and also for Crest Whitestrips. Noticed the ones in the US were a lot more frequent and bigger - Levis blue jeans, coffee makers, etc. Still enjoy it though, and my sister enjoys the coupons for her family. Have fun!

[lesleyd75]

Hey ya'll, I just signed up 2 days ago after reading about it in Homemakers magazine and I just got the Crest Whitestrips campaign. I hope they do more things for Cdns, it would suck if there was only a couple a year!:surfweb:

[DearDaisyinDurham]

I had signed up weeks ago after I read about it on the budget board but no campaigns ~ now I have crest, oreo and spreadable butter so it seems to be in waves? I'm not sure yet.

[jtdl]

I've been at it a year or two now and it seems the campaigns come bunched together - all of a sudden there are 3 (like the last couple of weeks) and then there will be none for months. Same thing happened last spring/summer - I had 3 or 4 in succession and then nothing until a few weeks ago. I think it also helps if you keep going to the site and completing the surveys - that way they get a glimpse of what might interest you.

DH is wondering, how many Oreo cakesters came in the kit? we've never done a campaign before :confused: thanks!! :goodvibes

[Mickey1Fan]

I just signed up. Since I am a single woman over 50 I don't know where I fit in, but hey, you never know what I may get.

[mickeywho?]

It came with a full box - what you find on store shelves. Plus a coupon for a free box and a bunch of $ off coupons.

[DearDaisyinDurham]

Thank you!! That's very helpful!!!

[mom2the3cs]

I have been a buzz agent for a couple years now.
just signed up for the crest campain. I am a huge contester and have won a variety of items, I view participating in campains much like winning a contest. Its a chance to try out something, that I may not normally try.

[DearDaisyinDurham]

I so love contests! are you allowed to say what sites you use or do you subscribe to any magazines? dh won something on the fan 590 and since then we've looked for contests to enter.

fridge value .. sorry, forgot a 0.. it is 1700$

[DearDaisyinDurham]

They have arrived. :) The cake part is better than the cream part. They are very sugary and the cream is way too gloppy. 12 grams of fat per two little cakes is quite a bit. They are kinda like little debbies in a way.
We're not sure what the value of a box is yet b/c we haven't seen the price.

Has anyone else tried them?

[mousy_in_canada]

I did not like them either, they had an aftertaste to it and way too much sugar for me!
I think they box is around $3.50.. too much in my opinion

[Debbie]

I read somewhere $3.29 the box. Maybe that was on the card. :confused3 My girls tried them. One: "They are like Joe Louis" The other left it on the table. When I was at school yesterday, I had lunch room duty. One of the (8yo) boys had the chocolate ones in his lunchbox, which he declared "Awesome". But then....boys will eat anything!

[disneyfan2]

does anyone who does this find they get inundated with junk mail/telemarketers as a result for this? Also, where do you guys hear about all these big contests?

[Hoogy]

I just got the cakesters in the mail yesterday and I'm not too fond of them. Makes it tough to bzz about when you don't like them! I'm awaiting the crest daily multicare whitening strips now.

[pta-mom]

I signed up to Bzz a couple of weeks ago but have yet to have any offers!! :sad2: I really want to try something & I check everyday to see if I've been "invited" but so far, no luck. How long did you have to wait until getting an offer?

[Debbie]

pta-mom, I signed up last fall. The Cakesters bzzz is my first.

[pta-mom]

: Waaaa!!! I don't want to wait THAT long!!

Oh well.....:rolleyes1

[drakes]

I just joined ! It looks interesting - I like trying new things esp if they are free.

[encinc]

does anyone who does this find they get inundated with junk mail/telemarketers as a result for this?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'd be interested in signing up, but DH wouldn't be too pleased with getting more junk mail!

[mom2the3cs]

I have not noticed any more junk mail... but then again, who knows what hits my spam folder...

[DearDaisyinDurham]

this is just me but I haven't noticed any junk mail or spam.

[disneyfan2]

this is just me but I haven't noticed any junk mail or spam.

how about unsolicated phone calls? I can handle the junk mail as a quick delete, but the calls are not so easy ;)

[mousy_in_canada]

I have never received a phone call or any extra junk mail.. snail mail or email.
