Here is a quick intro video to our program

Home Depot Seeds is a sampling program that puts your products in the hands of Home Depot Canada shoppers, in exchange for honest reviews on HomeDepot.ca. Home Depot Seeds is best used periodically over the year for strategic items, whether they are seasonal, exclusive, new, or products with old, outdated reviews.

What is the Sampling program?

The Sampling program enables brands to offer product samples to a retailer's community of consumer advocates in exchange for authentic product reviews.
How does it work?

Brands are responsible for purchasing sampling units, identifying the products to sample and providing all relevant product information requested by Bazaarvoice. Bazaarvoice will use this information to best match the products to members of the retailer's sampling community. Brands ship products to each sampling community member's address provided by Bazaarvoice or alternatively, brands can purchase fulfillment services with Bazaarvoice and ship directly to their warehouse for distribution. After the sampling community member receives and tests the product, they provide an honest, unbiased product review which is posted onto the retailer's product page.
What is a unit?

A unit represents a single product sample you can offer to the retailer's community. Brands are responsible for the cost of the units, the COGS and shipping costs to send products to members (whether they ship themselves or pay for Bazaarvoice fulfillment services). Please work with your Retailer contact to best understand any review quantity goals for your PDPs.
What types of products should I offer?

New products—Offer samples of a product before it goes to market so the product has content-rich, authentic reviews on the retailer site the day consumers can buy it. Products with low review volume—Ensure adequate review coverage by offering samples of strategic products that have few or no reviews. Products with old reviews—Having current reviews is important. Offer samples of strategic products that haven't been reviewed recently to get new content. Seasonal products—Maximize sales during peak shopping seasons by having content at the beginning of the season.
What if I need help shipping products?

Shipping fulfillment services are available through Bazaarvoice for an additional fee that is scoped based on product quantity, dimensions and weight. Please be sure to communicate your interest in scoping these services with us when a Bazaarvoice representative reaches out to you.
