As a breeder, you pour your heart and soul into raising healthy, happy, and well-socialised puppies. When the time comes for them to find their own loving families, your goal is to connect with responsible, caring new owners. The single most powerful tool you have to achieve this is your online advert.
A great advert doesn't just sell a puppy; it tells a story, builds trust, and attracts the very best prospective owners. Here at Forever Puppy, we see thousands of ads, and we know exactly what it takes to stand out from the crowd. This guide will walk you through the three essential pillars of marketing your puppies effectively: pawsome photography, compelling descriptions, and choosing the right ad package to boost your visibility.
Picture Perfect Puppies: Your Guide to Pawsome Photos
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to puppies, this couldn't be more true! Your photos are the first thing potential buyers will see, so it's vital to make a fantastic first impression. You don't need a professional camera; your smartphone is perfectly capable of taking beautiful shots.
Top Tips for Puppy Photography:
-
Use Natural Light: Avoid harsh flash photography. Instead, take photos near a window or outdoors in a secure area on a bright, overcast day. Good lighting makes colours look true and gives the puppies' coats a healthy shine.
-
Get on Their Level: Don't just take photos from above. Get down on the floor to capture the world from their perspective. This creates more engaging and personal shots.
- Show Their Personality: Are they playful, sleepy, or curious? Capture a mix of photos showing them napping in a cute pile, playing with a toy, or looking inquisitively at the camera.
- Keep the Background Simple: A cluttered or messy background can be distracting. Use a clean blanket, a plain wall, or a neat patch of grass to ensure your puppies are the stars of the show.
- Include Mum: A photo of the puppies with their mother is crucial. It provides reassurance to buyers about the puppies' origins and shows that you are a responsible breeder who cares for the welfare of your dogs.
- Video is a Bonus: A short video clip (15-30 seconds) can bring your advert to life! Show the puppies interacting and playing together. This helps buyers see their temperaments and level of socialisation.
Crafting the Perfect Puppy Description
Once your photos have captured their attention, your description will seal the deal. This is your opportunity to build trust and provide all the information a serious buyer needs. When done properly, the description will help to filter out uninterested buyers, which will save you time.
Your description should cover the essentials like breed, price, and ready-to-leave date. You also need to describe the puppies' personalities, their parents' health-tested background, and their socialisation in a family home. Finish by confirming they are vet-checked and have had all necessary treatments, detailing what is included in their puppy pack.
Ensure that you have your breeding license if required and that all of the puppies are microchipped by 8 weeks of age. This should also be confirmed in the description for the buyers, to ensure there is complete transparency and trust.
