Put Your Pet in the Obama Family Photo - Send It in an E-Card of the New White House Pet

obamacardforblog.pngWhat if your dog, cat, gerbil, hamster, horse, etc. became the Obama family pet? See how great that would look at Pawfun.com! Start here.

Upload a photo of your pet here and we’ll show you how to add it to this Obama family photo.

Then you can send your friends an e-card (gratis) to show off your soon-to-be-famous pet. You can put the picture on a t-shirt too! It’s quick and easy with the Pawfun Design Wizard.

Coming soon: Pawfun visitors will vote on which pet they think should join the Obama family in the White House.

Pawfun.com is the new site my partner, Caimin Jones, and I just launched. Please go there to put your dog, cat, horse, gerbil, parrot, hamster or goldfish on a custom photo t-shirt that you design and we print.

very cool.. wonder if i should choose my jack russell or my golden retriever.. wait.. don't think either would fit the allergy requirements of the obama dog.. that's ok.. i'll keep my pups!

Unfortunately a non-allergic dog has yet to be ceated. Benny Bix Ochman Labradoodle has no dander, but his saliva (he's a kisser) has caused my nephew - who is not allergic to dogs - two asthma attacks. sigh.

Well we must also consider what are the factors in Obama’s marketing campaign on Presidential inauguration.

Congratulations on your public launch. I looked around you site and indeed, your message is clear and well delivered - as I would expect from you.

However, I can pretty much guarantee you that you will convert "some sales" to "some more sales" if you do NOT require people to register in order to design t-shirts. Requiring registration before checkout is a bad enough barrier a silly number of businesses put up, but putting a registration requirement where you have one is a barrier to browsing your product - and will kill your sales.

(If you want to capture visitor details, do a newsletter instead.)

Sabrina - Thank you so much for your suggestions! Much appreciated.

We've come to the same conclusion, and will stop requiring registration to design a shirt. We do have to require registration for checkout, but we hope we can eventually change that too.

And we'll be doing a newsletter shortly.

The Portuguese Water Dog makes wonderful pets, and their curly hairs are so handsome. A good choice for the Obama family, now some questions remain: male or female, how will they call it?
