“Put your best hoof forward" - Nicole Zaagman
Here are 4 ways utilizing Parkside Farm's pygmy goats can help increase your events success:
1. Let us help you market your event.
Every public and community event that books a Jump for JOY Program™ visit, Parkside Farm, will share your event on social media if desired, accessible by our followers, fans and viewers throughout the United States. We will also post a social media shout out a week prior to your scheduled event to promote and advertise your event, brand and organization. Our pygmy goats like to attract attention wherever they go and we like to hype them up when they're about to make a special appearance in West Michigan.
2. Increase your event attendance.
As mentioned above, our goats have a way of getting people invested and interested in opportunities to see them in person and for photo opportunities. We like to think of our pygmy goats as the four legged stars of your show! Getting the word out on your end ahead of time that you will have some special pygmy goat guests at your event is a sure way to pique potential attendees interest and get them to commit to RSVPing or purchasing a ticket in advance. We can even provide you photos for you to utilize in your marketing efforts.
3. Create a unique event experience.
Pygmy goats by their nature evoke JOY and happiness wherever they go and whoever they're with. They are friendly, social creatures that enjoy being pet, hugged and loved on. Have you ever been to an event that had pygmy goats? I am sure most readers would say, "no!" How incredible would it be to have your event be unique and one-of-a-kind to showcase a fun and family-friendly animal! All of our JOY Visits and JOY Parties can include coloring sheets, handouts and other fun pygmy goat merchandise with our custom event packages by request. Guests also have the opportunity to take photos with the pygmy goats using their cell phones and there's a high likelihood those photos will end up on social media sharing about their experience at your event!
4. Leave a lasting impression on guests.
As an event host or planner, you want your guests to walk away with a memorable experience. While food, music and entertainment is helpful, sometimes you need something special for people to leave feeling that "wow" factor. Parkside Farm representatives and the pygmy goats themselves wear professionally branded Jump for JOY Program™ attire. If your guests have questions about pygmy goats we will be sure to provide fun facts and educational answers. Your guests will go home with smiles, photos and a tangible hands-on-pygmy goat experience that they cannot wait to tell their friends and family about. You want your upcoming event to be the talk of the town and for guests to look forward to future events with anticipation.
