ah dang, is it a kindle campaign? I have a nookcolor.  I've been trying to figure out what book I wanted to read next.  Are they sending out books/e-books, or actual e-readers?? edit: I think it's the Dark Monk campaign, and they're sending the two e-books for kindles.

Not much. You get a short survey asking why you don't want to join (usually just one or two questions...the main one being "why don't you want to join") -- this way they can figure out how to tweak their regular surveys to get more people who would opt in than opt out.

They don't want people to accept if they aren't going to use the product, so it's better if it goes out to more people who will want to try it out.

If you're on the fence about it, and you want to decline, you can tell them the truth about being worried about using a semi-permanent product on your hair.

I also got an invite, I'm not sure if I'm going to use it because I remember putting "coarse" and "wavy" as my hair...and not sure that it'll get me from wavy to Cher straight.  I'll think about it for a few days first.  (also I have virgin hair, so any permanent/semi-permanent hair product scares me in general)

thewendyyybird: If they were only wanting those who were African-American, they probably would have asked that in a survey.  I wouldn't be surprised if the company is trying to use Bzz to get the word out to a broader community and different hair types, since if the product was sitting in a shelf at a store, it probably would mostly be looked at by the genre they're used to seeing.

I asked my sister about it, and she said since I chose the "fine" one, it would probably work on my hair, and just take out some of the frizz. I'll definitely do a test patch with it first though, my hair is damaged from bleaching and dying and bleaching and dying lol. I haven't put a relaxer on my hair since I was in middle school, though.

From facebook: 

Quote: Looking for a good e-book read for the summer?We just launched THE DARK MONK BzzCampaign. Stock your Kindle devices with free copies of Oliver Pötzsch's The Hangman's Daughter and its gripping follow-up, The Dark Monk.PS - If you accepted this BzzCampaign and are having issues with entering your Kindle ID # we are working on it. Don't worry you're still in it and will be fine when it's fixed in the very near future. Thanks for your patience!

Also I want in on the frizz ease campaign! I think it's much more fitting for my hair type than the smooth n tame one.

I got in on the smooth n tame! Wee! This is so much fun!

I'm black or consider myself to be (since the other races don't come into play until before my parents) and have curly hair. I straighten it because it's easier to manage that way and this may be strange but I think I look silly with curly hair. I think people will take me more serious with straight hair.  I live with a constant struggle against the dreaded frizz monster ao I'm willing to give it a go. I think from the sounds of it they may be targeting people with curly hair for the Smooth campaign.

Got my dr. scholls today! Yay! Gonna put in my shoes before I head to the gym.

I got the Kindle book campaign too! The book hasn't arrived on my Kindle yet though.

 

[Fairest of all]

I got my Dr. Scholls kit yesterday. No matter how I tried to cut them they were just too large for my size 3 1/2 shoes. Had to throw them out

ahhh...full for me, too.

And sad, sad, sad, sad!! I just looked at the current campaigns and there's a WINE campaign!!  And the four wines pictured are my four favorite wines too >_< Moscato, Reisling, Pino Grigio, and Chardonnay.  I'd have accepted that one immediately lol.

 

[Totem]

How awesome would that be receiving four bottles of wine! No invite for me although they said more are coming.

 

[BrittneyMarie]

I got the wine campaign!!!! They're sending mail in rebates, so you have to go by them, but I'm still super excited!

I'm super jealous!! I wish I had gotten in, I love to drink lol.

 

[luckylilme]

Yeah, I noticed the wine campaign yesterday. I really hope I get invited I'm like the best person for it since I'm a stay at home drunk mom. I need wine in order to maintain my sanity!

 

[onthecontrary]

I want the wine one! All I've gotten is Dr. Scholls

 

[Totem]

Rebates? That's a first. Interesting.

Probably because they  can't send out alcohol.

 

[Annelle]

I've heard of rebates before.  Probably cheaper to send out coupons for free wine than it is to ship out fragile glass bottles of wine too.  Actually, I think a lot of the food type ones are probably rebates (I'm guessing the frozen food one was probably rebates too?)
