   Vocalpoint stinks. I have a house full of kids and you would think they would want their opinion. They won’t take me, so no samples for me….

   It said this…”This event is limited to one sample per household,
   and yours is already on its way. But if you know
   someone else who would like to try a sample, select
   an option below to share”.

   In a very round-about way, I finally found the link & will supposedly get my sample.

   Just signed up for Vocalpoint and am getting the sample. My child isn’t even old enough to drink juice yet.

    Is it bad that I’m 18 and I pretended I had a child just to get free samples that they offer? I got odor shield glad bags and the apple juice!

    Hi everyone, this is Tonya from Vocalpoint. In monitoring blog mentions for our site, I happened across this posting.

    I must admit I’m a little confused by the conversation so I wanted to hopefully clear a few things up. I would like to start by saying that it is inaccurate that Vocalpoint only accepts people with children into our panel. Many of our members do not have children at all or their children have grown and are outside of the home. Whether or not a person has children is not a factor in registering with Vocalpoint. Vocalpoint was designed to be a female focused group that enabled members to try products via sampling or high value coupons and provide their feedback on the product. That feedback is all shared with the brand and used to enhance or learn more about how consumers feel about their products.

    As mentioned in one of the comments above, our samples are limited to one per household. This is to ensure that as many people as possible can participate in our programs. We are not a sampling house. Our programs are full programs from trial to review. Our programs are limited (we do not offer a free something every day) to ensure that we are delivering robust programs and not just dropping samples out everywhere.

    I know another frustration members often experience is that sometimes they are unable to opt in for a program we are running. This can be caused by several factors which may include 1) the household does not meet the criteria the brand has expressed interest in and 2) you may reside in a city we had to designate as a control city for an offer. One way we can accurately share how impactful the Vocalpoint community is on a brand’s performance is to define two areas in the United States for each program where we do not make the product available. Then when a program has run it’s course, we can compare that brand’s performance in those two areas against the product performance every where else and show how our members have helped create awareness about a product or brand

    If you are not eligible for a program, that does not mean you are not eligible for any program. It means that the requirements for that particular program do not match up at that time.

    I am more than happy to answer any questions or further clarify. Please feel free to email me at tonya@vocalpoint.com.

    Thanks so much!
    Tonya
