New Review Samples Program

September 14th, 2009 by Andrew Knight Leave a comment Go to comments

At case-mate we strongly belive in supporting the review community.  We know how much customers value independent 3rd party reviews and we want to continue to see our products being reviewed on blogs, YouTube, & Twitter.  We pay very close attention to the feedback that is given and are always impressed with the level of detail reviewers provide.  Most of our product development activities are a direct result of customer feedback so it is important that we stay engaged with the community.

As case-mate has continued to grow, the number of review sample requests has exploded. We literally are getting hundreds of sample requests a month through our support line, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.  As much as I would like to be able to fulfill all these requests, financially it is just not possible.

To solve this problem, I am excited to announce the details of our new review samples program. Here is how the program is going to work:

  • On the 15th of every month we will pick 10 random reviewers to send cases to.
  • We will announce the reviewers selected on this blog.
  • Reviewers will have 1 month to post the review, along with a link to the review in the comments section of the blog.
  • Reviewers will be required to conduct a sweepstakes drawing to give away the review samples to their subscribers/followers/readers.
  • Please, only one submission per website/channel/reviewer. You do not need to apply each month. If you apply multiple times all entries will be deleted.

If you are an active reviewer and agree to the terms above you can sign up here.

To get things started, I am going to double the samples this month and pick 20 reviewers.  10 to reviewers to review the new iPhone 3G/3GS I.D case and 10 for all other cases.  You have until Tuesday night to sign up for the first month!

**Reviewers must be 18 years of age or older.**

    Why on earth would you make it so hard for someone to write about your brand?

    This is one of the worst marketing plans/communications i’ve ever seen.

    Your cases cost pennies or dollars to make, and everyone knows that.

    Why limit the buzz.

    You guys missed here. Sorry.

  2. Yeah, what??

    You say “To solive this problem”… and then go on to create a huge problem for people to actually make this reality.

    Required to conduct a sweepstakes and give away their review samples?! They’re already helping you and you want them to get rid of the only thing they get out of it?? Why?! Zero sense.

    Do this:

    -Pick 10 people.
    -Send them samples.
    -Post their review when they do it.
    -Done.

    this is a great idea any one who thinks it isnt, isnt a real reviewer so theres no need for you to join

    I hope we get chosen, but at the same time, I kind of see what the previous two posters are saying… Why limit the number of review samples? Isn’t it free publicity for Case-Mate?

    Hello again.

    I am not looking to review your product, I am interested in being an agent – stockist – & distributor for the UK Market! Possibly even Europe.

    Please can you re-review my requests & let me know your position concerning your overseas sales position & policies 

    I very much look forward to your reply.

    Regards
    Pietro

    Hello guys, I am a YouTuber on YouTube and I love cases and iPhone products. Since I love the iPhone so much I thought of making reviews for fellow people out there. If people don’t know what the case is or the features such as the good points and the bad points, why not go on youtube and check out a review of the case. So thats what I thought of doing, while doing that I thought of maybe reaching out to a company and hopefully helping companies getting noticed for business. Possibly making product reviews of their products. My YouTube name is “IProReviewer01″ if you guys want to check my channel out, which i recommend.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    hi~

    As previous posters, i would like to review your product for my growing Smartphone community, after the review most likely it will become a give-away for our loyal readers.


    Regards.
