Question about product testing

**Goodwin17** · 09-06-2006, 11:38 PM

Does anyone here do any product testing? How did you sign up? I'd like to do it, if there have been good experiences. I joined Pinecone research, and I got my first survey today, I think I might get to test something. I'd like to hear about anyone's experiences. TIA!

I did emails and testing for Pinecone for about 3 years but once ds reached 20 years old (they keep track of that stuff) I've never received another email request. They want families with younger children but I sure enjoyed the $5.00 to $10.00 a month and once in awhile a free product.

I didn't do any other product testing so not sure where to lead you. Maybe some others will have links or other info. Best of LucK!

There is a research center here in Montgomery. Both of my kids have done testing and loved it. They spent around 30 minutes watching commercials them they said they played with some age appropriate toy & told the folks what they thought. Both got paid $25.00 each (as with most kids $$$ is the BEST!!). Hubby also did testing for them as well. He tested some razors over a period of several weeks. I know he got free razors (something like either Mach 3 or Quattros) and I believe cash compensation as well. But we have not done any over the internet. Wish I could be of more help. Would be interested to see how it goes for you. Let us know how it goes & what you think.

I have wanted to join Pinecone, but I have no idea where to find a link. They only seem to let you sign up if you have found an advertisement link to click on. Anyone have one? Thanks

I do a bit of product testing, all from companies through the internet. Most of the ones I do don't pay anything, but sometimes they do, and 9 times out of 10 I get to keep the product. They are all lumped under "survey" sites, since in theory they're only offering surveys, but a lot of the surveys will lead to product tests

Here are my favorites:

ViewpointForum
ZoomPanel
Ipsos I-Say
American Consumer Opinion Panel
Survey Spot
NFO
Lightspeed

I have done Pinecone in the past, and they are great! I am no longer a member (long rant) and you do have to find an advertising sign-up banner on the web to sign up.

Right now I'm testing a bar of soap and 4 new scents of Body Lotion for B&BW. I just finished a test for Oust Scented Oil Freshners. I've also gotten tests for paper towels, toilet paper, facial lotion, deoderant, cereal, and shampoo & conditioner this year.

I have done shampoo, toilet paper, sanitary pads, and I even got to do a blender once. Got to keep that one. I forgot about the products. I did most of the stuff last year. I do get a few surveys once in a while from American Consumer. I do buzzback too or something like that.
