As you know, people sometimes take their dogs along on errands but leave them in the car. As we know, this practice can be deadly. It can also be lethal to a business as well.
Imagine if a dog dies in the parking lot of your store and the media spreads the word that a dog has died in the “your store” parking lot… not a great way to get your name out there.
But, because these tragedies are entirely avoidable, a little education can save a dog’s life. Instead of a tragedy happening in your parking lot, you can foster a good story that touts your brand as a hero. Not only that, people who see that you’ve partnered with a message to save dogs will have a better view of our brand and deepen their brand loyalty.
“We are very thankful for the observant 911 caller and the quick actions of all the public service professionals who brought great resolution to this potentially tragic incident,” said Fort Myers, Florida, police spokesman Lt. Victor Medico. Eight dogs saved and one owner arrested.
There are as many ways to help keep dogs cool, as there are businesses! A grocery store who places hot car warning signs in their parking lots; a mall that makes it against their rules to leave a dog (or child!) unattended in a car in their parking lot; a pet store that allows dogs to come into the store and places signs outside to remind people to bring their dogs inside and not leave them in the car; a car dealership who gives everyone who test drives car a thermometer and hot car flyer to show people how hot cars get; a police station that does a demonstration on how fast cars heat up; and on and on!
You can start by printing hot car flyers that have space for you to add your company’s logo and information. Just download the file, add your logo and take it to your printer.
