FEEDBACK OR QUESTIONS?
|
This section of the site is designed to give you ideas about ways to promote our phone numbers on your favorite sites.
We don’t expect you will have time to tackle them all, but pick and choose the sites you are familiar with, or those that sound interesting, and look through the ideas we have posted. You may also come up with some of your own.
There is a link at each category to print out the descriptions and ideas for easier reference.
|
| Don’t Forget: |
• Our hotlines are free to call – this is sometimes worth mentioning when posting numbers in different places.
• We have a reputation to protect! Please don’t post anything slanderous, mean, or inappropriate. Not only will we deny your internship credit, we will call your mom and have her send you to bed without supper.
• Some of our hotlines are less appropriate for children. Please be mindful of your audience when you are posting.
• Sites recommended in this program are free to join, and are a lot of fun to be members of!
• If you do a really great job we may hire you for a real job!
• If you have ANY questions at all, please contact us: Internship@RHbrands.com 404-496-6921 |

Be creative – start a group for people that actually received the Rejection Hotline phone number (617-861-3962) from someone that was trying to hit on them, or people that have received the Bad Breath Notification phone number (631-960-7170) as a trick.

Or, jokingly, send out a mass message saying something along the lines of, “Need to talk you ASAP! Call me at 631-960-7170” (Bad breath notification number) to get a few laughs. Try this tactic with our other concepts as well.

On Bebo, anybody can create a “music” page. This enables you to create a profile showcasing your music. It includes a band member list which is similar to the friends list on a normal profile, a list of fans (fans who have added the band as though it were a friend), an area for tour dates, a blog, and a list of songs which have been uploaded for playing through Bebo's media player, or which may be added to other user's playlists. So for somebody who would like to get creative, you can make an artist page and write/sing songs about the Rejection Hotline or any of the other hotlines.
-
Bebo has a special thing called “Bebo Authors”, also known as Bebo Books. On this section of the site, authors can upload chapters of their books and also get them reviewed with a certain module. Maybe somebody could write something about each of the hotlines (their least and most favorite) and make it look like a book.
-
Bebo has groups, as well. Group pages give users an option to join things they find interesting. These groups can often be educational as well as associated with pop culture. So you can create a group about the Rejection Hotline, or find preexisting groups to join!

You can upload one of the many humorous videos from You Tube about the Rejection Hotline or a specific hotline straight onto your Bebo page. (see the notes for Myspace above)

Talk about the guys or gals you are meeting when you are out with friends. “OMG – he’s wearing a toupee!!! I’m giving him the Rejection Hotline number (617-861-3962) for sure!” Or, post quick updates through out the date to keep fans updated on how the date is going. Anything where you could drop in a few hints about RH. |
