Do you have a pet that needs a good, loving home? Have you placed ads, hit up your friends on Facebook and Twitter (oh, and Google +) but haven’t found suitable pet parents?
Perhaps it’s time to try a new tack – instead of sending pictures, take a few minutes to shoot some video of the cute, cuddly, scaly, or cold-blooded creature. Take a look at this one:
That’s my little scruffy mop in the video. He’s a Jackapoo – that’s boutique parlance for ‘mutt.’ He goes by many names – PeaJay, Baby Bear, Purnie, Doodlebug, and so on. Sorry, he already has a great home and an incredibly charmed existence. I shot this with my iPod touch using mailVU’s iTunes app.
I did this video to showcase what a breeder, animal shelter, or rescue group can do to help get their animals into good homes. If someone sees a pet on a website or in an ad and wants more information, a video email can quickly be recorded and sent showcasing the pet’s antics and temperament. Worried that a new pup won’t be good with children or other pets? If a dog is comfortable around children and other animals, a breeder can confidently show that with a video message!
Many devoted pet placement agencies have stringent rules regarding who may adopt animals from them. Those agencies can get to know a potential pet parent by having them record a video introduction.
mailVU also provides easy video solutions for websites devoted to pet care and placement. With the Business Plan, pre-recorded pet videos may be uploaded to the site for adopters to check out. Reputable breeders can also send out video messages bearing their logo to prospective pet buyers. Happy new pet owners can also use the plan’s video testimonial widget to tell the world how great your operation is and how pleased they are with the new addition to their family! mailVU offers the ability to create links for Twitter and Facebook too!
Got a pet that needs a new home? How about showing him off in a video message from mailVU!
