Some of you might be wondering why there are these little posts that aren’t reviews. The Impulsive Buy has been mainly a product review blog, but I’ve always wanted to do new product news because there are so many products being introduced and there is no way we could review them all, but I want to let all of you know about them, hence the short posts that aren’t reviews. It definitely is NOT the end of reviews here at The Impulsive Buy. There still will be as many reviews as we can churn out and I’m pretty sure that some of the products that we do news stories about will be reviewed.<\/p>\n
Another reason why I decided to include news stories is because I wanted to provide another cool way for you guys and gals to participate. Some of you post comments, some of you recommend products, and some of you let me know about new products, which I am very thankful for, but I want to encourage something a little more. It’s hard for me to learn about all the new products that are being introduced because there are just so many of them. I have my ways of finding out about products, but many of them slip by me, so that’s where I hope you folks are able to step in. If you’re grocery shopping and you see a new product on the shelf, let me know about it. If you see a television commercial promoting a new product, let me know about it. If your local McDonald’s is offering a new regional product, let me know about it. Just send me an email at theimpulsivebuyATgmailDOTcom. Also, if you happen to have a camera on you or your cell phone has a camera, take a photo of the new product and email it to me at theimpulsivebuyATgmailDOTcom. I won’t make you rich, but I’ll make you internet famous for 10 seconds.<\/p>\n
So that’s the reason why there are these short little posts that aren’t reviews and I hope you’re enjoying them. <\/p>\n
