Pogo Will Expand Their Gifting Services

by Lura on March 3, 2010

Pogo Gift Store: Expressions: #1 MiniPogo is expanding their virtual gifting services (currently badges, albums, and mini items) into the Pogo Gift Store and they’re adding new items you can gift to your friends called Expressions. Expressions are like virtual greeting cards, some animated and some not, that will cost small amounts of gems and tokens. The one to the right is a “#1 Mini” that you can send to a friend to let them know “Your mini is numero uno”! Like greeting cards, you can send them to express your thanks, celebrate birthdays and occasions and holidays, and more. There will be some that are Club Pogo exclusives as well.

Click on the screenshot below to see the new Gift Store at full-size.

Red Cross Shirts and Haiti Candles

by Lura on March 1, 2010

haiti candlesEveryone who purchased an American Red Cross t-shirt to benefit Haiti has now received a new Mini Mall goodie: Haiti candles.

Did You Get an American Red Cross Tee? Check Your Closet in the Goodies Section!
March 1, 2010
As a token of appreciation for those of you who donated to the American Red Cross Haitian Relief Effort by getting an American Red Cross T-Shirt in the Mini Mall, we have a surprise for you! We’ve added a little something to your Mini Closet! Look under “Goodies” and then choose the “My Items” tab. There, you should see your Candles for Haiti.

And here’s more information from the Pogo Help files, explaining that the shirt didn’t “turn into” a new item as originally planned, but instead we get both! Thank you Red Cross and Pogo!

If you purchased a Red Cross T-Shirt for Haitian Relief, you might be aware that due to licensing issues with the Red Cross logo, the T-Shirts were going to ‘turn into’ a special item after February 23rd.

Good news! The Red Cross allowed Pogo to keep the T-Shirts as they are, so you won’t be losing your Red Cross tee for your mini! In addition, we sent all those who purchased a Red Cross T-Shirt a ‘thank you’ item.

If you look in your Mini Mall closet, under Goodies, you should see special Haiti Candles as a thank you for your generous donation (see example below). You now get to keep the shirt and receive a thank you item.

On behalf of Pogo, thank you for participating in our fundraising efforts to help those affected by the earthquakes in Haiti.
