Meet Cora!

Our very first #BWLuckyDog is miss Cora, from Halfway There Rescue!

Cora is a lovely little lady who is just about the perfect girl! She is a 2ish year old lab mix who weighs about 45 lbs. She is very well behaved–crate trained, house trained and polite with her doggy friends. Cora is on the submissive side and doesn’t mind letting others be the boss. She is pretty laid back and enjoys spending her days lounging around the house. Cora is even good on a leash! She can’t wait to meet her forever family.

As an adopter of Cora (or one of our other #BWLuckyDog’s), you’ll also receive a special “Welcome Home” package including…

$30 of dog walking credit from @thewagglecompany

$35 in services @spayneutercharlotte 

$100 off a @keendogtraining package

A dog wash from @thedogsalon 

$35 in services from @vetwerx

…And more!

#BWLuckyDog Campaign

Black Wednesday Introduces “Lucky Dog” Campaign Presented by The Waggle Company

 

Today we launched our 4th series today; the 13-week “Lucky Dog” campaign, presented by The Waggle Company: Charlotte’s premier dog walking service, will feature available black dogs under the care of local rescues.

 

The Lucky Dog campaign was inspired by the company’s love for dogs and in acknowledgement of the “Black Dog Effect,” the idea that black dogs are less likely to get rescued because they are either intimidating, hard to see at the shelter, or unlucky. Black Wednesday has engaged local rescues South of the Bully, Halfway There, Carolina Big Hearts Big Barks, Long Trails Happy Tails, Carolina Paws, and Lucky Labs.

 

Each Wednesday throughout the campaign an adoptable black pup will get posted to Black Wednesday’s social channels; In the spirit of supporting the new family, one who adopts a #BWLuckyDog during the campaign will get a “welcome home package” including $30 in dog walking credit from The Waggle Company, $35 worth of services at Spay Neuter Charlotte, $100 off a training session with KeenDog, a dog bath from the Dog Salon, $30 off an exam at VetweRx, a custom flag from Flagology, and more.

 

“Every dog should have a good home; working with the local rescues and dog-loving brands to support making that happen is so exciting,”  says BW owner, Corri Smith.

 

“We support dog rescues and the wonderful people who adopt so we are thrilled to partner with Black Wednesday on this campaign,” says Meggie Williams, co-owner of The Waggle Company. “We want to make it as easy as possible for someone to make the decision to adopt a rescue dog, which is why we’re giving $30 in Waggle credit to for each rescue adoption through this campaign.”

The Wednesday Social: 5 Reasons Why You Need To Get on Twitter Today

/0 Comments/in /by

Oh happy Wednesday!

Welcome to this week’s social, where we’ll discuss the five reasons why you need to be on Twitter! Whether you are new and want to create an account or someone who is trying to learn how to better use your current account, here are some resources and inspiration!

Get your news quick and on-the-go

Twitter has a variety of news topics you are able to look through. Whether you are into politics, sports or just pure entertainment, it has everything you are looking for, especially trending topics. Nowadays, everyone seems to be in a hurry and they don’t have enough time to grab the newspaper, but with a Twitter account, you’re able to get your news before you even get out of bed. A variety of information can be found under the ‘Explore’ tab, at the bottom of your screen. Click here to learn about the transformation of the ‘Moments’ tab to the ‘Explore’ tab and how you can use it to look there for trending hashtags. Scroll through your home feed to see what your friends are sharing. You can even look through hashtags to get the latest updates on a topic.

Livestream

One of Twitter’s newest features is the livestream! The most recent, and one of the most successful streams you were able to watch, was the 2017 Grammys reaching 5.1 million people. Sports fans, you will be happy to know that Twitter teamed up with the NFL to livestream games, on Thursday Night Football. You also have the availability to create your own livestream and to show your followers a behind-the-scenes peek at your work, your daily activities, or something cool you stumbled upon. Contributing via livestream can help cultivate a stronger following to grow your account and credibility.

Get the word out about your business

Looking to get a larger following for your business? Twitter is a great and authentic way to promote your message. You are able to post information, blogs, media, links, gifs and more (of course with a limit of 140 characters). Using hashtags within your tweets is also a great way to connect with other people and engage in conversations that are in line with your interests. Connecting with fellow tweeters who have the same interests as you will grow your following and could potentially lead to further reach if and when those people share your content.

Get yourself hired

Yes, if you are looking for a job, you are able to get hired through your Twitter. First impressions are key to landing a job. Optimize your Twitter avatar and your bio to help potential headhunters find you and understand that you’re looking. By writing a bio that explicitly speaks to your job search or utilizes relevant hashtags, you might just get found! In the case you are seeking employment, it is super important to clean up your profile; you can even link directly to your LinkedIn page.

Keep up with your favorite brands

People are always looking for promotions or the latest products from their favorite brands. With social media on the rise, more and more businesses are turning to a variety of platforms to share their content! Many brands host conversations/Twitter chats or use branded hashtags to manage contests; many brands use Twitter  to engage one on one; see how Wendy’s recently blew up Twitter by interacting with their Twitter followers.

Using Twitter is also a great way to give feedback on a product. Brands have become more social media-focused, so instead of calling a customer service hotline, you are able to ask questions and send direct messages through Twitter. There’s a high chance that there will be someone to receive your mentions or inquiries, whether they be positive or negative. You might even catch their eye and they could share your tweet! If you’re marketing a brand, you can use one of our fave tools Sprout Social to monitor and listen.

If you can’t tell, we’re big fans of Twitter, mainly for the super direct interaction it offers! What are your favorite Twitter features? Let’s hear from YOU. Find us on social to let us know: @bwsocialco.
