Now that you have the attention of these four-legged fans, the next question is how can you enhance the bond and create added value (for fans and sponsors)?

Just like the non-fur fans, our extensive research shows that dogs like swag too. Pet-related giveaways can make your Bark in the Park a real home run. Using a team branded dog tennis ball as an example.

Creates a Positive Association: By giving dog owners a tennis ball with the team’s logo on it, the team is creating a positive association with their brand. Dog owners are likely to associate the team with a fun and playful activity, which can help improve their perception of the team.
Increased Visibility: Tennis balls are often used in public spaces like parks and dog parks, where many people can see them. By having the team’s logo on the tennis ball, it can help increase the team’s visibility and reach a wider audience.
Builds Community: Dog owners often have a strong sense of community, and by giving them a tennis ball with the team’s logo on it, the team is tapping into that community. It can help create a sense of belonging among dog owners and make them feel like they are part of the team’s community as well.
Cost-effective: Giving away tennis balls with the team’s logo on it can be a cost-effective way to promote the team. Tennis balls are relatively inexpensive, and the cost of printing the team’s logo on them is minimal.
