GlobalPaw eShop OPEN!

Global Paw · 06-20-2004, 09:25 PM

The GlobalPaw eshop is now open. If want something that you do not see, post an idea here, and I'll add it. Currently, there are 2 catagories, I would encourage you to explore our products, and post some ideas on new designs, etc.

How do I decide

, I want it all!

Global Paw · 06-20-2004, 09:41 PM

lol, good to hear, lol

Global Paw · 06-20-2004, 09:42 PM

Another note, all profit made from this shop will go to advertising and maintenence. This is yet another way to donate to our site (and get some really cool stuff,

)

I didn't see any dog bowls there. I have this great fabric collapsible bowl that I take everywhere with me. I need another one, if we can get something like that with the GlobalPaw logo on it, I will hold off buying one from the pet store.

yeah, our current eshop is hosted with cafepress, and I am not too impressed with their selection, but they are the biggest of the eshop services...if I can get a smaller eshop just for dog products...frisbees, bowls, leashes, collars, etc...I will.

I might do some research today about that.

Quincy, I just love it.. What about a oval car magnet.. I'd especially love that.

Ohhh I like that too, I'm just as car crazy, as I am dog crazy!

Global Paw · 06-21-2004, 01:42 PM

hmmmm, we have oval stickers...but, they don't make magnets.

They have a pretty slim selection

Putting on my graphic designer cap now - here's a suggestion for new designs:

I love the dog icon on the front page with the GlobalPaw items, but the items themselves do not feature it prominently - or sometimes not at all. I would suggest that you use the dog (or Woof) as the larger design element - or logo- with the GlobalPaw.com as more of a tag line underneath. That way you get better long distance readability - people recognize images faster than words - but when someone gets closer they find out the details. On some of the products, it would also use the space a bit better, unless of course, there were production issues that drove the design in the final direction (there always are!!).

Just a thought....

Global Paw · 07-08-2004, 09:29 AM

wow, thanks...if I planed on keeping the eshop, I would change the design, but you have a lot of good points. Yesterday, I found an alternative that would allow me to sell dog products...not hats and t-shirts.

NicksBuddy · 07-08-2004, 11:58 AM

Your welcome, and the products that you have already look great! Just something to keep in mind if you add more. Feel free to email me direct if you ever want design advice, I know a lot more about that than I do about dogs!!

Global Paw · 07-08-2004, 12:05 PM

lol, thanks...I am looking at becoming a graphic designer myself...I like to design webpages on occasion...using photoshop 7, fireworksMX, flash MX, dreamweaver 2004, etc

I am looking at buying Photoshop CS...have you used this version yet?

NicksBuddy · 07-08-2004, 02:09 PM

No, I haven't used Photoshop CS, still using 7. I do most of my work in Illustrator. Web design would be great fun, but I'm locked into a corprate job that doesn't have that as an option. All the benefits, none of the fun!!

Global Paw · 07-08-2004, 02:11 PM

lol...my business is really picking up... full $10/month profit.

yeah, so it isn't a gold maker yet...soon. I want Photoshop CS...but everything is so expensive...and I can't use bootlegged software if I am trying to have a respectable business...
