CafePress created this neat little tool called the CafeMeter. The tool tracks the data of which presidential candidates are hot, in terms of percentage of election sales per candidate. It also tracks how many new designs are created each week for each candidate. Ron Paul is not doing so well on CafePress, according to these charts. Well, not as well as I would have hoped, since Dr. Paul is the Internet Rockstar!
The data shows that for the week of Jan. 13th-19th, Obama remains at the top, well above the other candidates, with 29.15% of all sales. While, Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee, are neck and neck with 21.69% (Clinton) and 21.7% (Huckabee). Our dear ole' Ron Paul comes in 4th place with 11.83% of the sales. Giuliani, Edwards and McCain barely register the chart with 2-3% each, respectively.
As for products created, it gets really interesting. Hillary Clinton, who is almost tied with Huckabee for sale, has had the most products created for her campaign. Since, Jan. 19, 2008, she has had 613,901 products. Most CafePress shopkeepers don't really know how to tag their images correctly. So, I am assuming that these numbers also reflect the anti-Hillary designs, as well. But, I am not sure. Obama comes in second with 540,220 products. Then, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, John Edwards and Al Gore (is he running?), all come very close, with 116,296 (Giulini), 110,528 (Ron Paul), 99,438 (Gore), and 97,752 (Edwards).
I think we need to move Ron Paul's numbers up! Purchase unique Ron Paul t-shirts, Ron Paul For President buttons and Ron Paul 2008 campaign signs depicting unique messages about the Ron Paul Revolution; Or open your own store where you can put your own messages out there.
