How can you promote Love your Pet Day?

This entry was posted in February 6, 2024

‘Love your Pet Day’ on Tuesday 20th February is a great opportunity for you to celebrate our furry friends and engage with your pet-loving customers.

Here are just some creative ways in which you can promote this day:-

 

  1. Social Media Campaigns – Create engaging posts on your social media platforms.  Share heartwarming stories, pet photos and animal facts. Encourage your followers to share their own pet stories using the hashtag #loveyourpetday.   Or why not host a ‘Pet Photo Contest’ where your customers can submit pictures of their pets.
  1. Pet-themed Discounts and Offers – Offer special discounts, selected products or services or put together bundle deals, ie. Our Riverside Gift Bags
  1. Collaborate with local Pet Businesses – local pet stores, veterinary clinics or pet-friendly cafes.
  1. Organise a Pet Friendly event at your store – Host an in-store event where customers can bring their pets.  Organise a pet costume contest or offer free treat tasters.
  1. Educational Content – Share information about pet care, health and safety, host a live Q&A session on social media.
  1. Product Giveaways – Run a ‘Love your Pet Day’ giveaway.  Encourage your customers to share email addresses or follow your social media accounts for a chance to win a pet-related prize.

 

Remember this day is not just about pushing products and getting extra sales, but a chance to celebrate the bond between owners and their pets. 

Do it the right way and you could find yourself being the business that customers turn to for help and advice and in turn building strong relationships with your customers.

We hope you have found this useful.

 Our 100% natural range of dog treats are derived from the by-products of the meat industry that would otherwise go to waste.

Advantages of buying 100% natural products for dogs are as follows:-

  1. Health – Natural products typically contain no synthetic chemicals, preservatives and additive which can be beneficial for dogs with sensitivities or allergies.
  2. Improved Digestion – Natural dog treats are often formulated with digestible ingredients that can lead to less digestive upset and firmer stools.
  3. Promotes Longevity – Natural dog products may incorporate ingredients that promote longevity and overall well-being, such as antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics.
  4. Environmental Impact – No body part goes to waste.
  5. Transparency – Natural dog products often have transparent ingredient lists, so you know exactly what being fed to dogs. 
  6. Fewer Fillers – Natural Dog products typically have no fillers like corn and soy, ensuring that your dog gets more nutritional value from their food.
  7. Weight Management – Natural products often provide a balanced nutrition profile, which can help in maintaining a healthy weight for dogs.
  8. Taste – Some dogs prefer the taste of natural foods and treats, making mealtimes more enjoyable.

Back in August we sent out a Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire as we wanted to make sure customers were happy with our products and services.

In the feedback there were a few people who asked if the ordering process could be streamlined in any way.  With this in mind, we set to work in making our website as user-friendly and informative as possible.

Here’s a breakdown of the additions and improvements:-
