Customizable Pawfun.com e-Card Lets You Put Your Pet in the Obama White House

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 18, 2009

In the midst of global Obama mania, the custom photo-t-shirt website Pawfun.com has created an Obama pet spoof. Pawfun’s free, customized e-card puts your pet’s picture into President Elect Barack Obama’s family photo. You can send the Obama family photo, featuring your pet as an e-card, and print it on a custom-t-shirt. The headline on the Obama pet spoof photo says your pet was selected as the official Obama pet.

The big news on ABC TV’s interview with President Elect Obama last weekend wasn’t world events. The real news was that the choice of puppy for Obama’s daughters, Sasha and Malia, has been narrowed to Labradoodle or Portugese Water Dog. But lots of people think their pet would be a better choice, so Pawfun’s spoof e-card lets them demonstrate how well their creature would fit into the Obama family.

Pawfun – Personalized Pet-Photo-T-Shirts

Pawfun.com – the new website where you can design a custom-photo t-shirt featuring your pet – launched this week. Using Pawfun’s Design Wizard, visitors can upload a photo of their pet, add speech bubbles, thought bubbles, clip art and other features to the photo, and then order it printed on a one-of-a-kind photo t-shirt. Pawfun has no minimum order, no set-up charges and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Pawfun.com uses high-quality Direct to Garment (DTG) printing so printed t-shirts are soft and the photo image is remarkably clear. Pawfun customers also can send friends an e-card featuring the image of their pet that they design for their t-shirts.

Founders are renowned social media marketers

Pawfun.com is the creation of co-founders B.L. Ochman, social media strategy consultant to Fortune 500 companies and publisher of the popular What’s Next Blog; Caimin Jones, web developer, WordPress wizard, and creator of games, flash applications, and photography; and the mysterious Chairman Meow.

The Ivy Mount Guest House Introduces the 5 Top Tips to Beat the Hotel and Bed and Breakfast Recession in the New Year

(PRWEB) December 15, 2010

If you own a hotel bed and breakfast that is struggling to keep afloat, there are some quick and easy steps to pull you and your business through the New Year (2011). These steps can possibly even earn you more money in the process. They can get more customers through the door, plus establish more regular clients; try the five steps and become a success.

The Ivy Mount Guest House (http://ivymountguesthouse.com/) in Manchester England has implemented these five steps and its turned the business around in a matter of months.

The best thing about it is that some of the steps are free (eg: TripAdvisor/ raising prices)

Step 1 is the most important step of all: your website is like your shop window- you are displaying what you have to sell. You should spend the most time on this step and make your website as personal as possible. Dont just let some web designer who has not even been to your business or does not know the area you are based in do all the work.

Put some personal touches in, be proud of your website.

Regarding the online booking agents, only use them until you get on your feet and the bookings start flooding in from your website. The commission fees can be expensive, but dont forget, a full room is better than an empty one.

The event days tab is a great way of getting some extra revenue. “In my B&B when Manchester United are playing or there is a concert in Manchester, I slowly realised I was one of the only people who were not putting the prices up,” said Paul Carroll. “The demand was so great that I was turning away around 30 to 40 people on these days. All you have to do is increase your prices on these days by 15% or 20% and reap the benefits.”

And finally, join TripAdvisor, the largest free online review and travel website in the world. “I could talk about this for hours- about reviews, displaying, answering reviews, displaying the sign on the website, etc,” said Carroll.

The 5 steps are;

1. Get a web site

2. Join TripAdvisor

3. Join some booking agents (laterooms.com; booking.com)

4. Change prices on event days

5. Get a “book now” tab on your web site

Speaking about the five steps, leading expert Paul Carroll said, I have been in this business all my life, and the changes over the last few years have been so dramatic. Only a year or so ago, you used to wait for the phone to ring, or a knock at the door for bookings. Now its all faxes, emails, texts, etc. It’s all mostly computer generated, but by trying my five steps on your business, you can watch the changes happen over night.

Active Web Group, Inc. Initiates Google Grant for Non-Profit Angelas House

Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) September 28, 2012

Active Web Group, Inc. (AWG), a leading Internet marketing company headquartered in Hauppauge, New York, today announced that its client Angelas House (angelashouse.org) has been accepted into Googles grants program for non-profit agencies. For over 20 years, Angelas House has assisted families to care for their medically frail children who may live with their parents or in special homes that offer 24 hour nursing support. The initial grant is scalable and will be used to contact and engage the agencys supporters and donors through Googles AdWords online advertising.

Active Web values and is committed to our clients. We strive to find ways to enable them to grow their online businesses, states Pat Norton, Vice President and Director of Business Development, Active Web Group, Inc. Recently while attending a seminar, an AWG staffer saw the opportunity to assist Angelas House in its fundraising initiatives by applying for a Google grant, he notes. Once the Company had secured the non-profits permission, AWG guided them through the tedious application process. The first hurdle involved clearance by Googles Not for Profit foundation, then the Google Grants (the nonprofit edition of AdWords, Googles online advertising tool) panel reviewed the non-profits application. Upon their consideration, Angelas House soon received a scalable grant which is awarded and designated to promote their mission and initiatives on Google.com.

Active Web realized the leverage this grant would provide our client allowing them to reach donors, volunteers and others when they are searching on Google, Norton explains. This way Angelas House can further raise awareness for their worthy cause by selecting relevant keywords and creating unique advertising to highlight and promote their charity, he adds.

Other features of the AdWords grant include the ability to track online donations, newsletter sign-ups and volunteer registrations thereby both tracking and streamlining this administrative process. Essentially, Google is enabling the expansion of Angelas House mission to provide for the needs of medically fragile children and their families on Long Island. Active Web is very proud to assist them to expand their donor, volunteer and fundraising base through this award, Norton concludes.
