  • From a promotion tape sent out by pets.com's PR agency. Includes footage of the Pets.com ballon in the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. This is before the sock puppet fell on hard times and had to shill for a loan company.

    There was a period of economic prosperity in the late 90's due to low interest rates. People had so much spare cash that investing money in the stock market became the thing that everyone did, and investments were typically in companies that seemed to be growing fast, with high profits projected in the future. Those companies were mostly .com companies that were growing rapidly through the typical scheme of selling their products cheap to gain brand awareness, before increasing prices.

    One of my shotest employments ever, but enjoyed it very much. Management was a joke, but the job itself was fun and high tech for that time. Starting pay for that time wasn't too bad either. $15hr. Too bad they didn't take their time thinking this business out more. We often ran out of popular products. Pets stayed busy until the end. We recived alot of positive feedback from customers. In the Union City office. Not sure about the SF office. Thanks for posting. I miss silly commercials.

    And back then, when the internet was relatively new and exciting, internet-based companies were hard to value, resulting in dot-com company stock prices skyrocketing. In late 1999, the federal reserve increased interest rates again and again, then people started losing their confidence in the projected profits of dot-com companies, and started selling stocks, causing the stock prices to plummet.

    A real failure in advertising. The dog did well for selling the dog, however, it did nothing for overall revenue. All though this was one of the first internet sensations the company later went down because this was not positioned well and did nothing to build brand recognition and boost sales; instead it gave the poor sock puppet its fifteen minutes of fame.
