Marketing Goes to the Dogs

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Posted by: Lauri Laufman

Years ago someone suggested I send out a company newsletter featuring my dog because showing adoration and love for my pet might just bring in more business. I immediately considered this to be intelligent and savvy advice.

Recently, the advertising community has realized how important pets are to their marketing efforts; and yes, pets are pitching just about everything these days. For example, the adorable and friendly Golden Retriever Duke represents Bush’s Baked Beans in a number of advertisements. Also, Griz the bear, Flip the dolphin and Jack the rabbit represent Frontier airlines, specifically on the tail of Frontier airplanes. Lastly, a marketing example which most of you are probably familiar with are the cows that promote Chick-Fil-A in the most clever ways.

You too can keep your brand visible via man and his/her best friend by purchasing a water bottle specifically designed for dogs. Not only is the 24 oz. bottle stainless steel with a roller ball, but it also provides a carabiner clip to hook on to your belt buckle, an easy twist-off cap and is BPA free. Imagine the visibility gained when one of your clients or employees is noticed with this fantastic bottle (with your brand on it) at your neighborhood dog park or at Discovery Green. Call Bullpen Marketing today to ask about this remarkable canine-specific bottle.

This item is as low as $6.99 and it comes in 6 different bottle colors including white and stainless.

Most people today have cell phones and those cell phones are expensive, delicate devices that allow you to connect with your professional and social world. Needless to say, they are an amazing technology that needs to be protected or else bad things could happen.

One main problem is finding a safe and accessible place to put your cell phone when in the car. We’ve all been there: You’re driving and your phone rings where you cannot reach it, such as at the bottom of your purse or bag, the panic begins. You are trying to drive with your left hand on the wheel while your right arm is digging and digging and digging in search of that ridiculous, annoying, yet needed little thing. When you finally find it, you are so flustered you drop it in the cup of water that is placed in your cup holder. Not good. Let Bullpen Marketing reduce that stress and provide you and your coworkers with a safe and accessible haven to place that cell phone on. This miracle worker is called the Dashboard Non-Slip Pad. Whether you prefer gray or black, simply place this non-slip pad on your dashboard, add your phone or any other valuable piece of technology that you cannot live without and enjoy the ride because that thing is going nowhere.

H2gO

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

The first time I ever saw a bottle of Voss Still Artesian water, I was in downtown Chicago for a board meeting. The sleek cylinder bottles were magnificent, lined up at attention down the middle of the long table. They were beautiful to look at and intimidating to touch—leaving no doubt that they were an expensive luxury item. It wasn’t until later that I discovered that Voss water is from a glacial fed aquifer in the wilderness of southern Norway. What’s wrong with the water in Chicago that they felt the necessity to ship water around the world? More marketing fluff: “Voss is recommended to accompany fine wines and food and is the closest thing to pure H2O on the planet. A sip of Voss is like drinking fresh air.”

A Good Cross to Bear

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Recently a representative of Cross came to our office to teach us about their pens….errrr writing instruments (lesson 1!). Cross is a wonderful classic American brand and the perfect product for a company to use as an upscale gift for important clients, prospects or board members. Putting your brand next to the Cross brand sends a strong statement. Personalizing a Cross creates an item that the recipient will keep for a lifetime.

Cross pens are a staple of high school and college graduations—we all have gotten either the gold or silver set at some point in our lives.
