Doof, “Plush Booty, No Cooty”.

What the heck is that?

I learnt about Doof from a friend's blog and the first think that came to my mind was ...cute name but the pillow bag business? Hmmm.


That got me wondering...how do people choose the type of business to get into? Obviously, it's driven by the profit and/or passion motives, a mixture of logic and the heart to think there's a gap to be filled - like Wheel Love with their inline skating business. Niche market, esp in Malaysia, yet hoping that the idea will make them money to sustain their passion, or like Youth Malaysia, an online community nurturing young peeps who desire to be someone someday. But for Doof, what were their premise in getting their feet into the pillow bag business? Pillow bags are no new innovation, and I wouldn't dare pin failure in a consumerism world like ours. But to sustain the business with passion for pillows? Neh.

I don't know where this post is heading right now but I'm writing down as a reminder to ask the owners if I get to meet them one day.

Meantime, I salute the Doof team for the courage to Start Something, especially in uncertain times like this. Hey, if you are reading this, drop me a note and give it light.

Dooooooof!

thanks for the post.

you're right, we're focusing on passion at Doof because we know that everyone wants a plush booty.

what we do is appeal to the public's need to just step back, sit down and relax. because life is often taken a bit to seriously.

so we engage our audience and get them involved in the Doof ethos 'drop the ego, relax and HAVE FUN!'

what's more, we have monthly giveaways so that everyone and anyone stands a more-than-equal chance to adore their very own Doof.

check out our current 'Doof It Yourself' image chllenge - and look forward to seeing your entries!

soon YOU could be sitting on a Doof, telling everyone just how amazing they are in the flesh ;)

thanks again for Doofing the Right Thing!
