Sherlock
My daughter recently pet/house sat for a lady going out of town for a convention. As the person really didn’t know my daughter (17 years old), there had to be some anxiety (even if a little) on her behalf to leave her dog. let alone her house, with a total stranger, even though she found my daughter through www.nextdoor.com . I told my daughter to send her text pictures and updates of Sherlock (a beautiful and rambunctious 14 month golden retriever). My daughter did me one better. Not taking her duties lightly, she took Sherlock far beyond walks and to the beach. Sherlock’s owner said he was afraid of the ocean but he jumped right in and had a wonderful time. My daughter texted pictures of Sherlock at home but sent videos of the ocean walks. The owner was ecstatic to see her dog having fun and more importantly, well taken care of, above and beyond what she expected.
In this age of technology, how hard is it for you to use texts, e-mail, photos and videos to touch base in a very personalized manner. As you can see in the video shot on an IPhone, the quality and editing doesn’t have to be great. It’s all in the connection. Let use know how you use video and texting in your marketing. We would love to hear and give you a plug!
