Call Me When Your Dog Gets Too Tall, And Other Ideas To Radically Rethink Your Sales Approach

By: Michael Crooks   Issue: 2009aug

Call Me When Your Dog Gets Too Tall
To better illustrate these points, let me tell you about my friend, Ken, a toy poodle breeder. Ken called asking about imprinted pens to give away at dog shows to promote his kennel.

“Why do you want to give pens away?” I asked.

“Well, there’s this lady at the shows and she’s giving out pens, and I thought it’d be a good idea.”

From previous conversations, I remembered something about height restrictions with toy poodles. “Ken,” I said, “let’s rethink this. Isn’t there some rule that when a toy poodle gets to a certain height, you can ’t show it any more?”

“Sure,” he replied, “10 inches. Then they have to get another dog.”

“So give poodle owners a ruler imprinted with your kennel name, position line Breeder of Champion Toy Poodles, contact info and a line that says, ‘Call Me When Your Dog Gets Too Tall.’”

“Now that’s a great idea!” he exclaimed.

In this example, a ruler is much more effective than a pen. The ruler promotes Ken’s kennel and positions him as the go-to person in a way that is relevant to the target and speaks to something those who show toy poodles need to be mindful of—the height of the dog. The line “Breeder of Champion Toy Poodles” is powerful because the whole reason people show dogs is in hopes of ending up with a champion.

Assuming they use the ruler to measure their dog, the second that dog is too tall, they have Ken’s information right in their hands. That’s promotion! A pen in this case would be a giveaway—unless the pen happened to have a tape measure built in.
