Welcome to the Shoptastic's FanZone Program

You’re here because you’re an influencer among Shoptastic customers. People trust your opinion when they’re making purchase decisions and value your honesty. Shoptastic Product Sampling is a program recently launched at Shoptastic to get some of our newest products in your hands in exchange for your honest reviews. As a program member, you’ll be able to select products to try and assess. Yes, you get to keep the products and yes, they are very exciting items!

You should know that some of these products are not yet available on the market, and your opinion may be among the first collected. For products not yet available on shoptastic.com, we’ll save your reviews and post them once the product is offered on our website. Shoptastic does not influence the opinions of Shoptastic Product Sampling members, nor do we modify or edit their reviews. A review collected through this program will be labeled as such on shoptastic.com.

Why does this program exist?: We value customer feedback about products, and so do other customers. The Shoptastic Product Sampling Program allows our most trusted reviewers to provide honest and unbiased feedback on new or currently sold products on shoptastic.com.
Why is it called Shoptastic Product Sampling?: Shoptastic Product Sampling members’ feedback often contributes to the early-stages of the product’s lifecycle, helping us to make decisions on how we stock our virtual "aisles". Sometimes Shoptastic Product Sampling members receive products before they are available for purchase. This program is all about trying products and giving us your honest-to-goodness opinion.
How do I become a member?: Membership is granted to Shoptastic Product Sampling on an invite-only basis. We are seeking customers who enjoy sharing their opinions and sentiments about products they use. Thus, Shoptastic Product Sampling members are selected based on several criteria such as the number of reviews written, previous involvement in one of our many trusted communities within shoptastic.com, and membership availability.
As a member, do I have to write reviews to stay in the Shoptastic Product Sampling program?: Yes. Authentic reviews are very important in helping shoppers make a buying decision. Through this program we seek to generate more reviews. Therefore once members are invited into the program, to maintain their status as a Shoptastic Product Sampling Member, they have to review at least 75% (3 out of 4) of the products they select and to remain among the top-ranked reviewers on shoptastic.com.
Do members have to write positive reviews to participate?: No. We expect our members to write unbiased, honest and authentic reviews. All Shoptastic Product Sampling reviews will be posted on the product’s shoptastic.com detail page unedited, regardless of whether it is a favorable review or not, provided they follow The shoptastic.com’s General Review Writing Guidelines [URL for review guidelines].
Do Shoptastic Product Sampling members get paid for writing reviews?: No. Members are not paid to participate in the program neither are they paid to write reviews, positive or negative. There is no pressure or expectation to write positive reviews, and negative reviews do not affect membership in the program.
Are reviews collected through the Shoptastic Product Sampling program labeled differently?: Yes. To ensure authenticity, any reviews gathered through this program is labeled when it is displayed on shoptastic.com.
