BzzAgent

Post number 2!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to talk about a WOM (Word of Mouth) agency I'm involved in.  I have been a member for of BzzAgent since my first campaign since July 5, 2005.  BzzAgent is described by the web site as:

BzzAgent creates a deep connection between consumers and brands to activate word of mouth across social and offline media. Through the engagement of our network of passionate, vocal and connected consumers, we provide companies the ability activate large-scale discussions, uncover hidden value, and drive measurable results. We believe in unpaid, unscripted ethical and authentic conversations (only!)

These are a few of the campaigns I've been involved in this year

• Welch's Healthy Start
• Black Box Wines
• Elmer's Crafters'
• L'Oreal(R) Paris Collagen Micro-Pulse
• CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion
• göt2b smooth operator
• COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless
• COVERGIRL Blast
• Children's Claritin 2010

The BzzAgents have a code of conduct  - a BzzAgent volunteer is:

Open — Always disclose your Agent status

Let people know that you're involved with BzzAgent, and that we've supplied you with the opportunity to experience the product or service.

A Natural Communicator — Be yourself and share your opinions

Stay natural and share your opinions in a respectful and unforced way.

Honest — Always tell the truth

Bzz only works because it's honest, so discuss the bad with the good. As we say, "all Bzz is good Bzz."

Mindful — Remember that everything you do sends a message

Keep in mind that the things you say and the products you use communicate something to the people around you.

Influential — Knowledge is power... and so is Bzz

Your opinion is influential, so respect that power by only sharing honest, informed word of mouth.

Not a Salesperson — Don't exaggerate or "sell"

There's no pressure, and there's no need to "close the sale" or dramatize what you're saying.

A Listener — Pay attention to how people are responding to the Bzz

Word of mouth is a two-way street. Listening will help you to become a better, more informed Agent.

In Touch — Stay in contact with the Central Hive

Stay alert for new campaigns, answer polls, submit reports and let us know about your

In it for Fun — Have a good time

Spread the Bzz in your own unique way — whenever you want and with whomever you want.

I am attempting to start a blog....right here ....right now....bear with me as I find my feet.  I have thought about starting a blog for awhile.  I feel like I can share some things I know.  One of the reasons I finally bit the bullet was the oppurtunity to talk about a recent party I had through MomSelect & MommyParties.  Schleich ( http://www.schleich-s.com/  )provided an array of figurines.  Schleich is a German producer of toy figurunes and accessories. Its figurines were first released in the 1950's.  In May 2007, the new Elfen line was introduced. It features Southern and Northern Elfen in a battle of light and dark.  In 2009 a story book about the elves was also published by Schleich. 

As part of the party package we received several figures from this line.  We also received several animals for the Africa line.  During the party the kids were able to play with all the toys.  They sent enough figurines for kid to leave with one.  Schleich provided enough Pig keychains, booklets, coloring sheets and goodie bags for everyone.
