Swaggable is a new product testing site I just joined. It looks very
promising so far! The company has gotten some good buzz from places like
Mashable, Forbes, and also the Huffington Post. I personally have not
gotten invited to try anything yet, but hopefully I will soon. It’s
important to note that this site is still in beta mode, so it wouldn’t
be surprising if some changes were made at any point.
How It Works
Signing
up has to be done through your Facebook account. I can’t see any other
way to register, so if you don’t have a Facebook, I guess you can’t
join.
Once you’re in, you answer some quick questions about your demographic.
This is done so Swaggable will have a better idea of what kinds of
products to offer.
After you’ve signed up and filled out the
required info, you can browse through their listings of new products. If
you see something you would like to test, just click the product and
select the “Want” option. Each product will show how many people have
already expressed their interest in it. I have no idea how many samples
they send out, but I’m quite certain that not everyone will get to
sample the products they’ve added to their “want” list.
Swaggable
wants you to write an honest review of the products you do receive on
their website. You don’t have to do this, but not doing so may hinder
your chances of getting future invites. They also hint that being active
on the Swaggable site (they have set up kind of like a social media
network) will increase your chances of getting picked to try the things
you’ve “wanted.”
Is Swaggable open outside the US?
People from outside the US can sign up, but unfortunately Swaggable is not currently shipping products to other countries.
My Experience
As
mentioned above, I have not yet received and product test invites, but
I’ve only been a member for a few days. I admit that I also have not
made an effort to get active within the Swaggable community. I should
probably do that so I can increase my chances of getting invited to try
something! I did find signing up to be very easy and I love the
interface of the site. Even though I am a Facebook user, I do wish that
there was another way to sign up. Not everyone uses Facebook.
