Singapore has a firm grasp on the issues
of economics, technology, and other topics one comes to expect from a
developed nation. However, they face a serious issue with abandoned and
stray dogs.
Even though Singapore has animal
shelters to help, like all organizations, animal shelters must also
market their institution to attract potential customers. The issue is,
many animal shelters already run on an extremely tight budget. While
most animal shelters use social media (mainly Facebook) to their
advantage, any changes to their advertising plans can limit their
prospective outreach.
Thankfully, many animal lovers have
shown consistent loyalty in adopting pets from animal shelters, but most
people buying pets still purchase them from puppy mills or large
corporations. With most animal shelter loyalists already owning multiple
pets and no means of a large scale advertising budget, animal shelter’s
adoption rates had been steadily declining.
Home For Hope was created to help
provide relief to this depressing condition and also drive awareness on
the issue. They teamed up with two animal shelters – Save Our Street
Dogs (SOSD) and Animals Lovers League (ALL) – and IKEA to create a
marketing campaign that has had tremendous results! To add to the
momentum, many other companies have joined the campaign.

trick made a huge difference! Perhaps corporations here in the States
can adopt a similar program!
