Pop Art Pet Unleashed

Archive for September, 2009

We’ve been impressed with our clients lately.. almost every custom pet portrait we’re working on currently is a Christmas gift! In the weeks of of late summer we usually start to get a some early birds, but this year everybody seems to be on the ball!

For those of you who are not so much.. keep in mind you’ve actually only got about 87 shopping days left (a lot less until Chanukah). Unfortunately you can’t exactly get custom art created from your photos at the last minute so really you should start planning now.

And if you order now you can take advantage of our Pre-Season, Pick Your Promo offer. You can either save 20% on a rolled portrait now OR you can purchase a stretched portrait now and get a voucher to save 20% on any order next month! But you have to order by the end of the month – that’s this Wednesday! So don’t delay!

Check out this urgent alert from the ASPCA about what you can do to help support a bill to allow tax deductions for pet care costs – up to $3500/year!:
Introduced by Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, H.R. 3501—known as the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (“HAPPY”) Act—is a federal bill that would reward responsible pet parents by allowing them to keep more money in their pockets come tax time.

We all want to give our animal companions the best care we possibly can, but it seems that pet care costs are always on the rise—and these days, it’s harder than ever to stretch the family budget. That’s why the ASPCA supports H.R. 3501, which would amend U.S. tax code to allow qualifying pet care expenses, including veterinary care, to be tax-deductible.

This means that when you prepare your income taxes, money you spent on pet care that year would count as non-taxable income—and you can deduct up to $3,500 per year!

Please help us support the HAPPY Act, H.R. 3501.

What You Can Do
Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center online to send an email to your U.S. representative and urge him or her to support and cosponsor the HAPPY Act, H.R. 3501.

What an awesome idea! Finally the democratic process pays off for pet lovers!

Now that summer is officially over, guess what’s right around the corner… that’s right, the holidays! And the best way to prepare yourself for that, mentally and financially, is to start shopping early. So to provide a little incentive and get you into the spirit of things, Pop Art Pet is offering two promos to help you save on something super special, our custom pet portraits!

First, you can get 20% off any rolled portrait larger than 8×10 through the end of September. This is the largest discount we’ve ever given on our non-stretched artwork!

Or if you buy any sized portrait this month at full price, you can get a voucher for 20% off another portrait, ordered during the month of October. This allows you to purchase one of our custom pet portraits for yourself, then save on a gift for the pet lover on your holiday shopping list!

To take advantage of the special on rolled portraits simply place your order for a portrait in any style, as long as its larger than an 8×10, and enter the “Discount Coupon” code ROLL20 in your shopping cart.

If you would like to buy a portrait now and save on a second portrait later, just place your order and enter OCT20 as a “Discount Coupon.” You won’t see a discount on this order, but after we have processed it, you will receive a coupon code via email that will be valid for 20% off any order in October! So place your order now!

Whichever deal appeals to you, we will work with you and your pet photos to create a unique design that will exceed your expectations and make an awesome gift for any cat lover or dog lover!

Btw, to save the most money and get the most “pop,” you can even take advantage of both of these great offers – but do it soon!

Did you know that in one of the many example Art Galleries on our website  you can Zoom In, way in, and see how much detail the full-sized completed portrait really has? Coincidentally we call this gallery, “Zoom In“.

Just by looking at the examples of our artwork on the website you can tell our Pop Art style designs are very vivid and bold; our Traditional style works are soft yet dramatic; and our Comic Art is really, well.. comical. But just based on the online images, which are only a few inches wide it’s difficult to see how detailed the canvases really are.

But in the Zoom In gallery you can go from this..

to this..

in about three clicks!

And it happens almost instantly, no slow downloading required. The zoom function allows you to click on any area of the image to enlarge, and the arrows at the bottom help you navigate around. It’s very cool functionality and just another way for you to see what we can do with photos of your pet!
