DS Needs Your Ideas!

Hey Guys!

You may or may not know me, but my name is Jesse and I work for DailyStrength. Im writing because we want to get your ideas for some new types of hugs that members can give to one another. As you know, currently members can Give a Hug, Send Flowers, High Five, etc. But what are some other types of hugs which you would like to be able to send/receive?

Just add your reply to let us know what types of hugs you want! We want lots of ideas!

Thanks,

Jesse

An 'I care' hug also, to make a little money for DS. could you sell 'I care bears' or mugs that say 'I need my Daily Strength' Members will feel they are contributing to the site and getting something useful in return. You could sell a pillow case, with 'Take it out on me' written on it. Lots of things. Those are just a few ideas. My poor depressed brain, still has a marketing exeuctive in it somewhere)If we could raise a bit of money, then I would like an ignore button please. (20% commission is not rquired, you can have those ides for free)
