Welcome to the TEST YOUR BIC® programme!

TEST YOUR BIC® is a programme that has just been launched, designed by BIC, to get some of our newest products into your hands in exchange for your honest reviews. As a programme member, you might have a chance to be periodically invited to choose BIC® products to sample - and the best part? It's completely free! Some of these BIC® products may not even be available to the general public yet so your thoughts are very important to us.

BIC does not influence the opinions of TEST YOUR BIC® members, nor do we modify or edit reviews. All reviews collected through this programme will be labelled as such on online sales partner sites. When products are not yet available to the general public, we'll save your reviews and post them once they are.

TEST YOUR BIC® members must reside in the UK (England, North Ireland, Scotland, Wales) so that we are able to ship to you.

Why does this programme exist?

We value customer feedback about our products and so do other consumers. The TEST YOUR BIC® programme allows you to provide honest and unbiased feedback on online sales partner sites or one of our affiliated sites regarding our new or existing products.

How do I become a member?

Membership is granted to TEST YOUR BIC® on an invitation-only basis. We seek customers who enjoy sharing their opinions and sentiments about the products they use. Thus, TEST YOUR BIC® members are selected based on criteria such as how many reviews they've written on online sales partner sites in the past, involvement in one of BIC trusted digital communities, and our current membership capacity.

As a member, do I have to write reviews to stay in the TEST YOUR BIC® programme?

Yes. Authentic reviews are very important in helping shoppers make a buying decision and one of the goals of this programme is to generate more reviews. Therefore, members are expected to review at least 75% (3 out of 4) of the free products they receive to retain their TEST YOUR BIC® member status.

Do members have to write positive reviews to participate?

No. We expect our members to write unbiased, honest and authentic reviews. All TEST YOUR BIC® reviews will be posted on online sales partner sites , regardless of whether they are favorable or not, provided they follow the BIC's Review Writing Guidelines.

Do TEST YOUR BIC® members get paid for writing reviews?

Absolutely not. Members are not paid to participate in the programme or to write reviews. There is no pressure or expectation to write positive reviews, and negative reviews do not affect membership in the programme.

Are reviews collected through the TEST YOUR BIC® programme labeled differently online?

Yes. To ensure authenticity, any review gathered through this programme is labeled when it is displayed on on online sales partner sites.
