All JV Offers, whether Featured Premium mailing recipients or standard JV Offers posted in the JV Offer categories, listed on JVNP 2.0 are being presented by the merchant ... or an appointed representative (affiliate/JV manager, etc.).
All JVNP 2.0 Partners, whether Basic (free) or VIP (paid) have the ability to request product review access by contacting the merchant presenting the JV Offer. Contact +/or support details are made available on the Merchant's JV Page. However, it is their choice whether to make it available, or not, and to who they choose to give it to.
JVNP 2.0 VIP Partners in good standing are guaranteed review access for the Premium mailings they choose to register to support, access to be made available no later than 7 days prior to prelaunch, or launch if no prelaunch. This does not cover all JV Offers being made on the site, only Featured Premium Announcements.
Is it a good idea to make review access of some sort available to all potential JV Affiliates? If you want them to give an honest review of the product, you would have to.
The downside is that there are now and have always been the unscrupulous that want review access only to receive something free with no intention of promoting it. Worse than that, there are the even more unscrupulous that seek to steal the product idea in prelaunch, create a competitive product and beat the merchant to market before it launches ... or simply clone it to make money off of someone else's idea.
That being said, I thing every new product launched should have some sort of demo/review access for both customers and JV affiliate partners ... just not necessarily the final draft. Perhaps a 'cliff notes' version, or one that's feature/content limited +/or time bombed. Certainly enough to have a good idea of what the product offers and give a reasonably detailed review.
