Product review realizations
11/28/2011
When I get a product in the mail for review here on the blog -- I do one of the following:
- Take the entire box and put it "away" for review, a little later. This is mostly because I don't want Little Hands To Get Into Things. Sometimes, things get forgotten this way. (This is what happened to two cases of Premier Protein that I just found at my house -- not here at the apartment.)
- Or, open the box and product immediately and try it!
- Which leads to --
- A) Super-fast Blog Posting (My fave -- you can tell when I REALLY LIKE SOMETHING...I almost did it today, didn't cause the camera died...) or
- B) Delaying of Blog Posting. Because I either didn't love on the product, it's just meh... or any other reason.
- And then there's the complete forget. This is when a PR company sends a product that's juuuuuust outside of this blogs topic, and I forget to do the post because, for example: olive oil. I just forgot. These products are usually awesome, (Right now I still have SlimFast, SmartOnes, Olive Oil, and an office product waiting...) but I sometimes wonder if I need a Mom blog a la carte for this stuff. Sometimes, and then I consider how many blogs I have HAD, including one for Just That Thing. I don't know. Something to think about.
The problem lies in this:
This is not necessarily a problem, but what you see are three boxes, one received today, one Saturday, one last week. Not shown, the ginormous box of vitamins and protein products that I haven't even looked at from a New To Me company, and a couple of late reviews that I've let slip into "Uh-oh...."
I need a better system, obviously. Because this is the stuff I enjoy doing. It's time to catch up.
Writing, giving and sharing.
