        The lady who lives across the street from us likes little yappy dogs, and she adopts them from various local shelters.  When she adopted her most recent one, they gave her a packet of adoption information and included 5 post cards for her to send to her friends and family, announcing the addition of a new pet to her family.  The adoption information from the shelter is included on the card, so this is a form of viral marketing for the shelter.  I think this is a great idea.  You can get postcards printed up pretty inexpensively using internet printers, and I think this would be a fun thing to do to promote rabbits and The Haven.  The problem is, I stink at design.  I have rolled around in my head various things to put on the picture side, but I am massively drawing blanks.  A post card is an awfully small surface, should I include pictures of cute bunnies?  Our Logo?  A don’t buy, adopt message?  We have a lot of creative people on BB, anyone have any ideas of what we could use?

          should I include pictures of cute bunnies?Yes. Use ADEE’s pix.

            Our Logo?  Definitely

          A don’t buy, adopt message? Yes; announce you’ve adopted, then say that.

          We have a lot of creative people on BB, anyone have any ideas of what we could use? Use MimzMum’s design/layouts.

           (Aren’t I good at volunteering the others? )

            LOL Pam you are too good! Osprey, I think that keeping it simple, but not too cluttered woule be the best route and that is a brilliant idea with the post cards!

              (holds up hands) Ooohhh noooo! Not me, Pam! I don’t have the stuff to make really nice graphics for something that important! No talent for it either! Thanks for the nomination, but….

              Binkles is the one to address regarding this. She’s the art major. ^_^ (passed the buck well there)

                  If you ended up using shelter bunnies, maybe you could have a little doodad write-up on the back (where the address goes) to let someone know their story. You know how some scenery postcards have a little description of the location they are displaying.

                    front

                    back

                     

                    of course this is very quick…i can do a better photoshop job…i could also do a less cutsie, more mature look too if you would rather…but this is just a thought

                    Binky i like that idea! you could put that on the back or showcase the bunny under the house on the front and put their story on the front too.

                                  Oh I thought of an idea too. Remember when we played that game in the lounge where the word BUN had to be in another word like aBUNdance.

                                  Maybe there are some words like that that would fit within the goal of these cards and match them with photos that would fit best. I can’t remember all of the words, I’d have to go check….

                                            How about the BUN word I used in the other post…

                                                This is BB in admin mode!

                                                Peppersmama – wow you’re fast! Looks great. Really like that second one too! It gets me involved!  Well, actually I like both for different reasons. The campaign could be focused in so many ways. Osprey has some great talent on his hands. Good job!

                                                KKD – I’ll email Osprey and see if he can post a good logo here that you can use.

                                                Mimzmum  -  Exactly!  That line with an adorable photo…..AWE!!!

                                                    I love this idea as well. Definitely use a shelter rabbit – does RabbitHaven have a “mascot” rabbit? If so that would be a good rabbit to use.

                                                      Here is the best logo I have:  This one is 150 x 110.

                                                      We do not have a mascot bunny , we have adopted out thousands over the years.  Here are a couple of my favorite photos of adoptables from over the years:

                                                                          I really like photos that display rabbits as indoor pets, e.g. sitting on a couch watching TV, or hanging out on a bed, or things like that because I think it really changes people’s perception of a “hutch bunny” to a “companion animal.”

                                                                          I think all the examples so far are fantastic! I also think maybe a photo of Adee’s with no writing, just a really nice photo would be great, it would then make it really easy for people to hang up the card on their fridge or at work etc. (Maybe one of those photos from the “pigging out” post in the lounge!
