We’re going to have a huge announcement on April 6th. I was having some fun on Twitter teasing about the news, and now it has turned into a full on contest in association with the Twitter Paw Pawty! I’m going to be dropping hints on Twitter all this week about what it could be. The first U.S. resident to guess it correctly will receive a 30% Off coupon code to use in our online store. (@emmythecat will provide the prize to first non-US resident) That’s the biggest discount we’ve EVER given. Twitter can get a little crazy sometimes, so I’m going to update this page with the hints as well so people can catch up. We will not announce the correct answer until the BIG, HUGE news is published on the morning of April 6th. Your guess must be tweeted out with the tags #bakersdog #pawpawty or we won’t see your answer!

UPDATE: We’ve Announced Our Big News!

Hints:

• This is not an April Fool’s joke and is real news.
• I slept in late on Sunday because I figured it was my last chance to do so for a while.
• The news happens sometime this Sunday (4/5), but the retail store will not be open.
• We are NOT having a baby! (Sorry Mom & Dad) Bonus hint: This is Baker’s Dog news.
• Some may think of a comic book, cartoon, or movie when they hear the news.
• There’s is pretty much a giveaway to what the news is in our latest video. (Watch the whole video closely!)

Remember our DoggedDogdom.com giveaway? Well the winners have recently been announced and the prize packages went out a couple of days ago. Even though Leigh of GoFetchGifts.com and Anne-Marie Gates entered the contest, we think the dogs Mr. Blue and Dutchess were the real winners!

Both winners got their prize packages today and sent us photos along with notes of thanks. GoFetchGifts.com even took the time put a nice little write up on their blog! Though we never expect anything in return for our prize offerings, we are incredibly flattered when people take time from their busy schedules to let us know they love our products. Getting the opportunity to put our fresh baked treats and custom photo packaging into new customers hands is exactly why we sponsor these contests.

We also really want to thank DoggedDogdom for letting us sponsor their contest and we look forward to more successful collaborations in the future!

We’re sponsoring another DailyPuppy.com photo contest! Enter your best “Bath Time” photo of your doggy to win a treat package with your winning photo on the bag. The January contest we sponsored was their biggest competition to date. Do us proud and take a minute to submit your photo.  Details are here.

Awwwww... the latest litter from Woodcrest Kennel!

Our friends over at Dogged Dogdom are having a contest to “theme” their new litter of puppies. Winners will get free One Pounders and Half Pounders with a custom photo printed on the package. More details are at DoggedDogdom.com

We have always known contest sponsorships were going to be a part of our online presence. It’s a great way to support other sites that put a lot of hard work into building an audience and to get our products into people’s hands. With our custom photo packaging and the proliferation of puppy and kitty photos online, sponsoring photo contests just seems like a no-brainer. If you recall, we sponsored the January DailyPuppy.com Photo Contest. Now the results are in!

We contacted the winners for their shipping information and flavor preferences. As soon as they responded we sent out the following prizes…

3rd Place Kahlua received a Half Pounder Cheese & Apple along with other goodies (including some kitty treats!)

2nd place Lacy got a One Pounder of Peanut Butter plus some other goodies.

Grand Prize Winner Zeus got 3 One Pounders, a Puppy Love Pack, and 2 People Pops!

All of these prizes are products that are available in our online store. We are pleased to say that this month’s Daily Puppy Photo contest,  based on the total number of entries, was the most successful contest they’ve had to date. Whether our sponsorship and promotion had anything to do with it remains to be seen. We’ll most likely be sponsoring the Daily Puppy contest again along with some other giveaway promotions. If you want to be the first to know about these contests, please subscribe to our email list (look at the bottom of any web page at http://bakersdog.com) or RSS feed.

Lucy is sacked out!
