PROMOTION
As a start up business, ‘I <3 My Pet’ understands that promotion is fundamental. Therefore we aim to use the most efficient methods of promotion, in order to maximise interest in our store, while at the same time not spending in excessive amounts.
The first, and most important of our methods of promotion is having our advertising campaigns published in magazines. We will give 3% of the profits to each four different magazines on a weekly basis in order that our campaigns will be published in their magazines. We will aim to make deals with four very well-known magazines, and therefore we will be reinvesting 12% of our profits weekly into magazine advertising.
We will also aim to have our campaigns advertised on the side of the buses of one of London’s major bus firms. We believe this is an excellent use of our money, because everyone across London will be able to hear about ‘I <3 My Pet.’ We hope to have to reinvest no more than 4% of profits on a monthly basis, having our campaigns advertised on the sides of buses.
Our third promotion means is our Facebook and Twitter pages. Through having these pages, our followers will find out about the newest deals as well as stock. We hope that our Social Media pages will encourage people to come back to ‘I <3 My Pet’, and furthermore, interest in our store should be spread further.
Our final means of promotion is our freebies. We plan to invest 5% of profits into producing freebies, such as badges, wristbands and leaflets, which will be available throughout the local area. The freebies will let people know about the location of our store and what we stock, and therefore, because of our simple, eyecatching designs, people will be encouraged to visit our store.
Finally, we move onto the campaign itself which would be in the magazines and on the side of the buses. Our idea for our campaign is a series of posters which have pet owners, and their pets, and the posters follow a general, them that can be shown in this poster:

We believe that this poster portrays vital information in a simple yet effective way. The poster looks stylish, and actively encourages people to visit our stores.
Thankyou for listening to Team Vanquisher's pitch.
