Social Marketing for Fido
12/12/07
Okay, social networks for pets are nothing new (just Google that term). But here’s a cute twist. Are you a dog owner or dog lover? And maybe an art lover, too? I don’t own a dog myself, but one of the coolest new sites I’ve seen lately is Mog-Dog.com, a new online business created right here in the Twin Cites. It was founded by a colleague I used to work with and his wife, and they’re both accomplished graphic designers (which you can tell!) Mod-Dog is not a social network per se, but talk about a way to involve a community, and to do it in such a visual, fun way! Come on, dogs need their own note cards and Christmas cards—didn’t you know that? Okay, okay, their owners need them. But how fun! (And you could always have Fido sign with a paw print.) Not only cards, but you dog lovers can now decorate your pad with a high-quality modern art print of your very own breed.
