That's Not Cool

nforcer06164 · 07-3-2009, 09:57 PM

Hey, guys. I'm a marketing major. And I need your help.

See, I've been trying to get into some marketing campaigns to gain some experience and get an edge in a difficult job market. I'm a rising junior so if I want a job I'll need to get an internship next summer. I'm looking to do some significant stuff to put on my resume to secure that.

So, I'm laying it out right now, and this is my first real attempt: That's Not Cool

So, what's the deal, nforcer?
The link above will direct you to a site called That's Not Cool, which is full of a selection of passive-aggressive notes to pass on to people who can't take a hint about constantly calling you, texting you, etc. and finding a way to get them to take the hint. I think you might enjoy it!

Is that a referral link?
Kinda. I am required to disclose two things to you. First, I'm doing this marketing campaign for That's Not Cool on behalf of RepNation, and second, I may receive incentives. The link only looks that way because it is a unique identifier that lets RepNation know that I'm the one that made you aware of the site.

Wait.. you're getting paid?
If pennies per click is significant, then yes, I am getting paid. As I stated, I'm not in this for the money. I'm in this for the marketing experience.

Great, so what can I do to help?
I only ask at a bare minimum to click the link above. If you've got the ability, though, I'd love for you to spread it around. Send it to people on AIM or other people you know on messaging clients if you can. Do you use Twitter? MySpace? Facebook? I'd love for you to throw that link up for me and spread the word as well. I'm trying to create a web for Word Of Mouth advertising, and I trust you guys to help make it a success.

I'll be grateful for any help at all. Let me know if you can do anything. I'd love anything you can give me. Thanks in advance, everyone.

This is interesting. At first I thought you made the website and I was like, "HOLY COW THAT'S INSANE FOR A COLLEGE DUDE. Where'd he get the time to do all the puppet stuff etc."

nforcer06164 · 07-3-2009, 11:05 PM

Thanks! Remember to send the link to your friends outside of FFR if you liked it, even if it's only one person! Every little bit counts!

Your first mistake is choosing Marketing as your major

jkkkkkkkkkkk

Kagami_Hiiragi · 07-3-2009, 11:16 PM

Sock puppets.
And i sent it to most people on my AIM.
Your welcome.

nforcer06164 · 07-3-2009, 11:41 PM

Thanks so much, who_cares and Kagami! Even one more person you may know will help this campaign work! Don't forget, if you have a twitter, myspace, or facebook, let people know that you think might like the site, and ask them to pass it on if they like it too!

That's a cool thing you're doing.

I'm majoring in Marketing as well. Reading some books in it first before I start classes.

thechild · 07-3-2009, 11:48 PM

Site kept me looking through all of it.

Izzy · 07-3-2009, 11:49 PM

If nothing else, I liked the web design. Videos were kind of cute.

**PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR** · 07-4-2009, 12:16 AM

So yeah... I sent this to a few people...

DotKritic · 07-4-2009, 12:25 AM

Posted it in my Facebook and put it in my sig.

When does it end? Or does it?

nforcer06164 · 07-4-2009, 12:30 AM

I can do this until July 31st, I believe. The sooner people find out about it, the better.

Thanks again to everyone that's contributed! If you can, keep telling others, and see if they can pass on the word with the same link too!

DotKritic · 07-4-2009, 10:16 AM

Wow..You've made $1 (so far). Go buy something off the Dollar Menu.

nforcer06164 · 07-5-2009, 12:59 AM

Okay, guys. I have some bad news. I am capped at 100 references a day, and it doesn't carry over. I have four more now, for 7/5. I'd appreciate the continued help, if possible, but this is going to be a daily effort for me. I appreciate the assistance.

nforcer06164 · 07-6-2009, 09:30 AM

Bump for new total. More than halfway there! If any of you can help anymore, please do!

MrRubix · 07-6-2009, 09:55 AM

Have sent this out -- hope it helps, bro

Kagami_Hiiragi · 07-6-2009, 10:47 AM

Why are there two of these threads?

nforcer06164 · 07-6-2009, 10:48 AM

Trying to reach as many people as possible. There's actually three.

Kagami_Hiiragi · 07-6-2009, 10:49 AM

Suprised they haven't deleted some?
