"The Product Sampling Campaign was the most effective way that we could have driven awareness for Cusa Tea & Coffee (on ExpertVoice); it generated a ton of reviews and content — a 10 out of 10 for us."
Jim Lamancusa
Founder and CEO
"Product Sampling, and ExpertVoice in general does everything it’s supposed to do for us and sometimes even better. The content is so above and beyond. We collected comprehensive reviews that provided really in-depth analysis of our products, which is also super valuable from an internal perspective for our product development team."
Nicholas Sells
Digital Specialist
“When we launch a new product, it sometimes takes a year or longer for that product to generate traction and give us the kind of feedback we need. Running a product sampling campaign through ExpertVoice was really fun. I enjoyed being able to go in and find that perfect product tester - to have access to the data to find that perfect set of people that I know are going to come back, and they're gonna give a quality review of the product, whether it be good or bad. The feedback they provide is invaluable to us. We're getting ready to launch a new product, and I plan to continue to use sampling campaigns to our advantage."
Micah Orvis,
E-commerce Manager
"Overall we got the engagement we thought we would; we got great reviews, and experts engaged with our brand on social media after the campaign ended. The ability to curate our audience of testers is so valuable, it guarantees a base level of quality in participation. Through the campaign, we connected with new experts and gathered imagery that was truly photography worthy"
