Tips for building a Brand for your new Puppy
Now you have just brought home your own adorable pooch and decide that they are so adorable that the rest of the world should share and be a part of your lives. So what are the next steps?
Follow other social media doggy sites and see how they do it and make a note of the best type of pictures and videos.
Creativity
Be as creative as possible. A good place to start is showing your pup on a holiday, for example with a Santa Hat on in front of Christmas Presents. Try and experiment with different locations and develop some clever wordplay.
Committed
You have to be committed to gaining popularity for your dog.
Get a good camera. A DSLR will take much better pictures than your mobile phone and use photo shop to increase the visibility. Be prepared to take pictures of your doggy at any time because not all cute pics are posed for.
Network at the dog park. You should assist with Charity campaigns. Be prepared to pitch your pooch.
Finally be genuine. Let your pets personality shine.
It won’t be long until your best friend is an Instagram star!
