Free advertising - From your company to an NZMac.com user
The emphasis for NZMac.com is on community involvement. This extends to the review process, where the aim is to have community members contribute reviews to the site and benefit from receiving products or software (such as NFR software) rather than have the staff of NZMac.com review the products. In most cases when a product is offered for review, members of the NZMac.com community will be asked to consider reviewing it.
The only cost that will be required by you will be in supplying the product for review
Providing your items for use in a review for the site is an excellent way to tell New Zealand Mac users about your product and to support those actively contributing to the site. It promotes the development of the NZMac.com community and provides a feeling of goodwill from all those involved.
- If you are interested in providing a product for review, a call will be made to the members of the site to express an interest in reviewing the product.
- A selection process will then take place and you then provide the product to the reviewer (an NFR copy of your product if you wish).
- The selected community member will be given guidance on how to complete the review and all reviews will become part of the review section.
- It is expected that instead of direct advertising costs, your company will allow the reviewer to keep the product or receive some form of acknowledgement by the company if the cost of the product prohibits it being kept.
Example - Speck Products kindly donated a number of iPod protective cases for review.
- Site members were informed of the products that were to be reviewed through a 'call to participate'
- Once the reviewers were announced, they were given guidance on how to submit their review. These reviews were then published.
- Speck Product's cases were then further promoted through a competition that featured questions on the products and the reviews. This final part is not required but was simply used to highlight the products and reviews more on the site.
"In trying to break into the New Zealand Mac market, NZMac.com was more than helpful. The 'call for reviewers' was a great idea to get real people involved and to give very detailed reviews of our iPod cases.
NZMac.com kept me informed during the whole process, providing us with an opportunity to inspect the reviews before they were published for any factual errors concerning our products. The layout of the resulting reviews was extremely professional as well as very creative.
The next time we have new products available, I will definitely be asking NZMac.com if they would be willing to do the same for us again. Thank you NZMac.com"
