Tim Wall’s article on partnerships that embed products into experiences is a good read for marketing and brand managers. It also emphasized tactics related to Rick Purnell’s article last week about local visibility, community engagement and the value of showing up where a need exists. <Link>.
In many communities, seasonal events bring pets into town, such as:
- Hunting seasons
- Youth, adult and professional sports tournaments
- Seasonal festivals like Oktoberfest, Tulip Days, July 4th
- Dog and cat shows
These aren’t abstract opportunities. They’re moments of immediate relevance where proactive veterinary clinics can insert themselves in useful ways. For example, game hunters would take notice if the local vet left nutritious treats at the motel desk, along with contact information. It’s a small gesture, but it places the clinic directly in front of visiting hunters when the risk of injury to dogs is the highest.
