What it's all about?

Buzz.ThePeople is a large and diverse group of New Zealanders who give us their views and in doing so, go into draws to earn rewards, make donations and to win all sorts of prizes.

There are lots of reasons to try us, here's 4 of them:

• Because your opinions are important, and right now people in business and in politics want to know what you think. This is your chance to tell it like it is, and get involved with New Zealand's big issues in our 'Have Your Say?surveys.
  
  
• In our short Research Surveys you can tell New Zealand companies exactly what you think about their advertising, services and products. That's got to be fun. (Also - there is NO selling and you can sign off whenever you want.)
  
  
• You will be rewarded! There are lots of chances to win a whole bunch of prizes including two $10,000 CASH prizes each year.
  
  
• You'll feel good. You can earn shopping vouchers or you can donate to your choice of a charity, school, or sports club.

Research Surveys

Research Surveys are usually about NZ products and services. There are many organisations that want to know what you think of what they are doing or planning so by taking part in our Research Surveys you can directly influence the products and services you then buy or use.

A few important points about our Research Surveys are;

• Each time you do one for us, we either put money into a 'charity and school donation pool' or we credit your shopping voucher pot with BeePoints, depending on which option you have nominated. Most surveys reward you with 100 BeePoints or $1 towards your charity, school or club. For the very short surveys you can whizz through in no time, we reward 50 BeePoints or 50c.

• Buzz is known for the speed with which we get things done so groups often come to us when they need really fast feedback. For this reason, when you get surveys from us we often only allow a short time period for you to take part. We do realise that this can limit the number of people who can take part so we apologize in advance if the survey has closed by the time you get to it.
• There are a few times when we can't tell you who the client is - particularly at the beginning of a survey but whenever we can, we do. Also, most of the time we can't show you the results of Research Surveys but we nearly always load the results of the Have Your Say surveys on this website.

Remember, every time you complete a Research Survey for us, you not only trigger the donation or payment into your shopping voucher pot, you also get an entry into our great Monthly and Annual new car prize draws.

Have Your Say Surveys

These surveys are about high interest, topical subjects and politics. Sometimes we do these for Media companies, sometimes for political groups and sometimes off our own bat.

Over the past year we've covered Biofuels, Money and Morals, Inheritances, Election issues, The Rugby World Cup stadium, Marketing of Credit plus others - and you can expect some meaty subjects as we approach the 2008 elections.

A few important things about our Have Your Say surveys?

• We'll always try to tell you who the client is, particularly if it is a political group (Buzz doesn't have any political affiliations incidentally and try hard to represent our panel's view rather than ours or our clients)
• We always try to load the results on the website at the end of the study so you can check our what others said (something we usually can't do for our Research Surveys)
• Taking part in Have Your Say surveys doesn't trigger the donations or shopping voucher credits but you do get your entries in the prize draws.
