I agree with Lucky...more campaigns would be awesome..

(I ain't voting! No way! I can't endorse an off-network brand, are you crazy?)

Just wanted to say Hi JoeC or whatever you will be calling yourself soon.

Wombats won't work. The industry association puts on a conference called WOMBAT, so they'd get mad if we tried to "borrow" their term!

Mrs. JoeC: She knows nothing of my steamy involvement in UB, so shhh.

My new nickname: Nobody's suggested anything. People just want to know what the axes are labled in Max's graph. I didn't lable them on purpose. I thought it'd be more intriguing that way!

I posted over on the BeeLog

Do you really think there will be a campaign that involves a machine that rolls along on 4 wheels?

IMHO, they don't have to be expensive campaigns either. I thing things like Logitech remotes and Sonic toothbrushes should be for Golden Keys, people who have been agents a little longer than newbies. Heck most people are thrilled with little bags of nuts, a candy bar campaign, even gum as long as it has samples to share.

Funny Scar. Maybe just a symbol?

bizzeedee: I hope so.

Probably can get a few big old pickup trucks/SUVs real cheap about now.

Btw I suggested you change your screen name to TheInsider or Beekeeper. Beekeeper is perfect!

Being PR you do have to smoke us sometimes

You need to remember that who is invited into a campaign is still determined, in large part, by the client. We can influence it, but the decision is ultimately theirs. And if someone is marketing say (looking around my desk for something to pick) umm photo printers, well they are going to want to make sure the Agent owns a compatible camera, right? Well if we allowed only those with Golden Keys to join, we would have no control over whether or not the participating agent could even use the photo printer. Does that make sense?

(Ok I am going to wrap up in a moment. We have 1/2 days on Fridays, and I'd like to enjoy a little bit of that treat!)

Exactly

I don't have to smoke you. I just do it for fun.

(Kidding. No and No.)

but how do you know what kind of camera I have? printer? There is no where on the bzz agent site where I can update my profile/demographics.

oh, and have a great weekend... thanks for coming by.

Makes perfect sense JoeC.

Thanks for answering our questions! Have a great weekend!

Oh, and if you ever want to pitch John Frieda to do a campaign on their weatherproof shampoo ...... we could Bzz the heck out of it in humid Florida ( in fact, I already have!)

I imagine if the client wanted that, it would be added to a precampaign questionaire.

Hope you have better weather than we are right now. Have a good weekend!

Hi Joe!!!

Do you have a magic number of people you would like us to bzz and report on.

Some think 2 some 3 some 5 and some think as many as we can.

Any info would be appreciated and have a great weekend!!

BeachyBum brought up a hair product, which triggered this thought: Here's a question I wasn't asked but that I would have liked to have been asked: As an Agent (not staffer), what would be your perfect BzzCampaign?

Here are a few that come to mind:

Orijin's dog food.
Saucony running sneakers.
Cliff Bars (peanut butter)
Some really, really nice sheets.

Running Sneakers !!!!

It takes alot to maintain my Avatar body, yes that's me. Anyways, I run and workout a ton.

Really really nice sheets would be great!
Perhaps a Dyson

Maybe something that would help improve my home too .... say like laminate flooring ?
A grill ?


Something you could show off while entertaining ......

This is a great question. I'll answer it two ways:

PR answer: We want you to Bzz people solely in an authentic manner. If your interaction involved one person, report that. If it involved a dozen, that's acceptable as well.

Now while the PR answer is true (we don't want any false reports, seriously!), it's fluff and you guys will see right through it. Here's what we know:

Each agent Bzzes about 12 people during the course of a campaign. Those 12 could be 12 separate conversations with 1 person each or 1 conversation with 12 people. But that's the average. I think we are happy with that number, so while there is no required number of people Bzzed, we are proud that y'all communicate with a number that high.

P.S. I'm NOT reporting on entertaining on the nice sheets !

You know JoeC, green products would be a really easy Bzz right now too .....

A front loading washer perhaps ?
