Have the failures of Evite turned you off online invites entirely? Don't despair, the other, prettier invite service Pingg has launched a Threadless-type Pingg Studio platform for artists and designers. And while the crowd-sourced content model is one of those that everyone is eager to copy, courting the design community is an interesting move for Pingg, which competes with Evite, Facebook Events, and My Punchbowl.
"In terms of a service where anyone can load their profile and send traffic to their e-card. We're the only ones doing this," says co-founder Lorien Gabel.
What's even more interesting is that Pingg is currently doling out cash to its community of designers, with a rewards program that pays designers $50 if they're chosen for a Staff Pick, $100 as Top Designer, and other sums if they win the Pingg Design Challenge. Gabel says he's considering eventually expanding the bonus program into full store model, "You inevitably pay for really good content."
