product testing

I was asked to test out a DO crafts product via http://scrapgenie.blogspot.com/2008/03/100-blog-road-testers.html

I was disappointed to be sent a 3L Scrapbook Adhesive EZ Runner, because I know all the yummy new product that they are stocking and I expected something more exciting like Basic Grey or Doodlebug. But no a glue runner!

And not just any glue runner, the exact same glue runner I use every day and have done for several year. This in itself should tell you what I think of it, and the old saying "Buy cheap Buy dear" comes to mind, there are loads of glue/tape runners on the market from under a £1, but would you buy them twice, no, its not a great deal if it does not work and goes straight in the bin ( remember those glue stick from Tesco 10 for £1!)

We were given a list of questions to answer ....

1. How often do you use adhesive? Every time I craft.
2. What is the main type of adhesive you use? Double sided tape, glue stick , 3d foam and glue/tape runner

3. What do you look for in an adhesive? Stickyness, clean and easy to use.
4. How easy is the product to remove from its packaging? Very

5. Does the product appeal to you - ie does it look good? Yes

6. How easy is the product to use? Simple
7. How well does the product perform? As it should, perfect.

8. Do you like this product? Yes
9. Do you consider it good value for money? It is an expensive runner, but you get what you pay for

10. Would you consider buying this product in the future? Yes

11. What would make you more likely to buy this product in the future? Better price point and REFILLS

12. What would make you less likely to buy this product in the future? Price.
