How do you drive traffic and donations (and get tails wagging)?
It’s a jungle out there in pet retailing. With fierce competition from online retailers, Petbarn needed to create a seamless instore and online experience. They challenged True to create a multi-channel integrated campaign for the Christmas period. This meant driving customers instore, engaging them on social and inspiring them to get behind Petbarn’s annual Tree of Hope Appeal.

With the insight that pets bring happiness (and giving also brings happiness), we launched the Happiness Season across 156 Petbarn stores and 178 Greencross Vets. Read more …
Happiness Season campaign.
With Team Happiness at the helm (our ambassadors Joy, Love and Hope), we delivered Petbarn’s POS and in-store collateral, anchored with an in-store prize promotion. We created an inspired gift guide, then kicked off a social content calendar that dazzled with daily prize giveaways and innovative traffic-driving posts.
Photography
True worked with photographer Andrew Goldie over two days to create themed and
textured pages of seasonal pet fashion and gifts. We shot on location in a home that
gave us lush summer vibes and allowed for sunset beach walks and backyard feasts.
In parallel, we set up a mobile ‘studio’ on location to capture even more. With an eye
to social content, we also captured behind the scenes and created stop-motion
videos on the shoot.



Gift guide
The Happiness Season gift guide was 32 pages of seasonal fashion and gift ideas from dog and cat bedding to activewear and toys. Even lizards and stick insects got a look in. True conceptualised, photographed and brought the guide to life, available online and to key influencers.In-store
Every gondola end, every Tree of Hope ornament, every impulse bar message… we spread happiness throughout the whole store. We showcased seasonal items, from reindeer ears and Santa hats to premium food. Staff were motivated with their own Happiness Season Mantra too.
