Event Project: The Digital Pet Marketing Business Idea
Objectives –
Create a yearly online (digital) & offline (print) publication or magazine that highlights local pets and their owners.
This exciting event project will initiate a complete social media & print marketing package that will give participating pet businesses exclusive representation to a highly targeted local audience of pet owners, driving more leads & sales.
Funding for your publication will come from looking for sponsorship money from at least 5 or more local pet-related businesses. In return for their investment, they’ll receive immaculate marketing for their businesses.
From the very start and all the way up to the release of the publication; participating businesses will get a full year of quality advertising and exposure.
Additionally, businesses will enjoy a steady stream of relevant content that can be shared with followers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and other social networks.
Content Concepts To Be Included In The Publication –
To build maximum value & interest, most if not all of the content included in the publication will come from customers of participating businesses and other local pet owners.
Once complete, participating businesses will have exclusive rights to sell the publication at their location or online in the form of a downloadable .pdf file.
For this reason, it is essential that the publication has as many local pet owners collaborate on its development as possible. The more involvement, the more sales that will be generated as a result.
HOT Topics That Could Be Included In The Digital Pet Marketing Publication:
* Pet stories of adventure, courage, and companionship.
* Articles showcasing local pet stars (athletic pets).
* In memory of… stories to remember passed pets.
* Professional photo shots of local pets.
* Video documentaries about owners and their pets.
* Prizes and gift giveaway offers from participating businesses.
* Appreciation articles from businesses to reward their customers.
* Articles about local kids and how they love their pets.
Each of the topics listed above not only represents content but can also be potential revenue sources for the publication.
There are also many other methods that can be used to get local pet owners to join in on the development of the publication that will, in turn, raise the value of the publication.
For instance, we’ve created a powerful method that we like to call “The Branding Collaborative”. It will instantly get pet owners on board and considerably increase the sale of the completed publication at the very least.
The content developed can easily be shared by participating businesses, during the campaign, on social media networks to strengthen relationships with followers.
You may also consider conducting surveys, giveaways, and challenges as a way to promote involvement in the publication.
Marketing & Advertising Strategies of The Digital Pet Marketing Publication:
Developing a quality publication is just the beginning of this special event project.
This single project will open a whole array of marketing strategies that will give participating businesses a superior edge within the local market.
Each business which participates will receive exclusive representation within their specific niche. EX: There will be only ONE pet groomer, pet sitter, dog treat bakery, etc…
It’s exclusivity that makes it possible for the businesses to cross-promote and share customer databases for increased sales opportunities.
Further strategies are as follows…
Email Marketing –
One of the primary focuses of this digital pet marketing business is to build a steadily growing email list of local pet owners.
With a large list of pet owner emails, businesses can deliver special promotions directly to a receptive audience.
Email marketing still tops the list in ROI (return on investment) compared to all other forms of advertising and this project makes implementing it a “hands-free” task for local pet businesses.
Print & Digital Advertisement –
Participating businesses will experience exclusive ad placement within the completed print & digital publication. With digital banners and links driving traffic to business owner’s websites.
Content Creation & Distribution –
Improve the social reputation of local business with quality online content.
During the project, there will be articles, videos, and more produced for and about the businesses participating. This content will be submitted to search engines giving businesses a positive profile and higher rankings.
Social Media Marketing –
As mentioned before, all content created can be shared to business’s social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram.
This is an invaluable resource for businesses have a hard time developing shareable information that their followers would be interested in engaging with.
Coop Promotional Events –
Live (in-person) events allow the people, and pets, of the community to interact with businesses.
Even though it’s primarily digital, this pet marketing event project can be used to inspire new pet-based events within the community where business owners can present their services face-to-face.
Businesses can decide to hold a solo event at their locations as well. It could be a wonderful way to introduce new prospects to their services and products.
Profit Opportunities For Participating Businesses –
As if there aren’t enough promotional elements for businesses to promote their products/services, here are a couple more ways for them to profit.
1) The Sale of The Publication –
The entire idea of this pet marketing event project is based on building priceless value in the publication by incorporating local pets and their owners.
Once released, the publication will only be offered for sale by the businesses that have participated, giving them exclusive rights to sell at a profit to their followers.
2) Sale of The Branding Collaborative –
We touched on this idea earlier… This method will allow businesses licensed branding that can aid in the sale of all sorts of promotional items.
Businesses will be able to create products that they think their customers will love and make ongoing profits!
