Top five tips to boost adoptions this festive season
Here are our top tips for boosting adoptions in the lead-up to Christmas.
- Add some festive fun to pet profile pics and videos by setting up a Christmas theme backdrop to capture the attention of adopters scrolling pet listings (sans that toxic tinsel, though!). Or capture pets picking out their favourite toy in a pressie-themed video.
- Rewrite the pet's profile in the theme of a letter to Santa. Hint: you can use PetRescue's Ai writer to do this for you. Just add the prompt "Write in the style of a letter to Santa from [Pet Name]'.
- Have yourself a very meme-y Christmas! Memes are a fun and effective way to spread Christmas cheer and to engage with adopters via social media. If you’re not tech-minded, find yourself a savvy volunteer to create some meme magic. Check out this great Animal Sheltering article for the how-to.
- Don’t shy away from adoptions over the holiday period - Christmas can be the best time to adopt a new pet! Read more about this here.
- Finally, have some fun choosing festive names for the pets in your care - or get your supporters in on the festivities to offer their suggestions. Who could resist Holly, Frosty, Ivy, Mittens, Nutmeg or Pudding this Christmas?
