Ciao! Giveaway

November 12, 2008

Congratulations to Noreen from Washington for winning this giveaway.

There are two important things to know about me when it comes to shopping. First, I prefer to shop online and second, I rely heavily on consumer reviews and that is why Ciao! is my new best friend.

Ciao! is a new online shopping community where you can find exactly what you’re looking for whether it’s for you or your home. Ciao! features thousands of accurate and honest reviews from real people on everything from cell phones to laptops to MP3 players – even movies and beauty products. You can browse to your hearts content getting price comparisons, product information and consumer product reviews.

Ciao’s members number in the multi-millions and span the globe. They offer free of charge, local language versions of Ciao! in major western European and North American markets. Ciao combines unbiased consumer reviews and up-to-date price information from hundreds of online retailers. More than 38 million consumers visit Ciao! every month, making it one of the largest shopping portals in North America and Europe.

Have you ever written a review for a product you really liked? How about a review for a product you didn’t like? Ciao! wants people to write reviews. And as a reward for writing an honest informative qualifying (120 word) review, Ciao! will pay you $1.00.

I think that is fantastic!

To write a review for Ciao it’s necessary to join. It’s completely free and only takes seconds. After you have joined and logged in, you’re ready to go. Pick a product you have and write your review. To qualify for the $1.00 payment, your review must contain 120 words which isn’t hard to do at all. So there you have it. Ciao! The one place where you can browse, shop and get paid for telling others what you think.

This is what our members are saying about Ciao!

Chocolate Fingerprints: …when it comes to technology, I want to know for certain what I’m getting into when I buy a product. To me, reading consumer reviews is a very important step in the buying process.

Rockin’ Mama: What’s great about the site is that you’ll find reviews on the latest and most popular products. I personally want to get more information on whether or not I should get an iPhone or a different smart phone.

Just a Mom’s Take on Things: I signed up with Ciao a month or so ago and have completed several reviews. They are easy to write – all you have to do is find your product on a list, and Ciao fills in all of the basic information about it for you.

Sage and Savvy: At Ciao, you can find hundreds and hundreds of reviews on electronics, video games, movies, and so much more.

Here’s What I Think: This is a great way to learn about products that you might want to buy from actual consumers and earn a little money. You can also share your thoughts on products with others. There is no better way to learn about a product than from other consumers.

Maria’s Space: There are lots of fun and easy ways to earn money on Ciao. When you write a review of a product or service, you are paid every time another member reads and rates your review.

Red Sox Mommy: The thing that makes this site so great for its users is that they pay you for your reviews. I know I’ve ordered items online before and have left both positive and negative reviews depending on my experience with the item. But I sure didn’t get paid for them.

Cutie Booty Reviews: I reviewed my Flip camera (I heart my Flip!). It was quick and easy to write a 120 word post. The bonus? Getting paid for it. That’s right, Ciao.com will pay you $1.00 per post. If you enjoy writing reviews why not get paid for it?
