I'm not too proud to work for doggie medication! :)

My clients, Lakeside Animal Hospital, have been able to increase foot traffic through their doors because of a couple well-placed media hits.

I pitched one of the unique services that LAH offers ~ acupuncture for pets!  

The Wheat Ridge Transcript liked the pitch and wrote a business profile on the animal hospital. 

Here's the business profile that ran in the Wheat Ridge Transcript:

Along with the help from photographer Bill Bond, I wrote up a bio about weiner dog owner Stephanie and her dog Dempsey.  We posted on the local YourHub newspaper website.  YourHub is a weekly paper insert to the Denver Post every Thursday ~ and they printed the web story I wrote in the paper edition.

And the acupuncture story that Bill and I worked on which profiles Dempsey the dachsund:

Remember, most small businesses tend to get their foot traffic from the neighborhood where they reside.  Don't discount the little media guys!!  Hey, don't get me wrong ~ there is a definite power to getting a placement on the big guys like 9News, CBS4 and 7News...but, you will find life-long customers from getting the word out through the little guys.  That's because your neighbors read the hyper-local newspapers delivered to their homes.  Most want to know what is going on their hood.

For my efforts?? ~ I get trade credit that I use towards taking care of my animal brood here at the Graybill house ~ four cats and a 12-year-old Rottie ~ jojo ~ who now needs arthritis medication for a bum front-right ankle.  Thank you Lakeside Animal Hospital!!
