National Dog Day

🎉 National Dog Day Marketing Guide for Mortgage Loan Officers
Title: “Unleash the Paw-sibilities of Homeownership!”

National Dog Day (August 26th) isn’t just for pet lovers—it’s a golden opportunity for Mortgage Loan Officers to connect with clients, real estate partners, and your community in a fun, memorable way. Whether you’re popping by with a treat or engaging on social media, dog-themed content grabs attention, spreads smiles, and reminds everyone that you’re the top dog in lending. 🐾

🐶 In-Person Marketing Ideas

1. “Paw-some Pop-Bys”
Drop off dog treat bags with a paw-print tag that says:
“Treat your pup—and your mortgage—right! Let’s fetch the best loan for your next home!”
💡 Tip: Include your business card and a mini flyer on current rates or first-time buyer tips.

2. “Yappy Hour” Partner Event
Partner with a local pet groomer, shelter, or pet boutique to host a “Yappy Hour” meet-and-greet. Offer free pup-cups, pet portraits, or giveaways.
Tagline: “Helping you and your furry friend land the paw-fect home!”

3. “Home is Where the Dog Is” Door Hangers
Distribute fun, dog-themed door hangers in pet-friendly neighborhoods or at dog parks. Include a short message like:
“Your dream home is just a paw away. Let’s talk home loans!”

📱 Social Media Marketing Ideas

1. “Dog + Home = ❤️” Photo Contest
Invite followers to share a photo of their pup in their favorite cozy home spot. Choose a winner to receive a gift card to a local pet store.
Hashtag: #PawfectPlaceToPawse

2. “Dog Breeds as Mortgage Types” Reels or TikToks
Make a funny and informative video comparing dog breeds to loan products.
Example:

• Golden Retriever = Conventional (Reliable, steady, great for many buyers)

• Chihuahua = FHA (Small but mighty, helps first-time buyers)

• Great Dane = Jumbo (For those extra-large loan needs!)

3. “This or That: Dog Edition” Polls
Post simple polls to boost engagement:

• Big dog or small dog?

• Adopt or shop?

• Dog park or backyard fetch?
  Use it as a segue to talk about pet-friendly home features or neighborhoods.

🏡 Punny Mortgage-Themed Taglines

3. “Sit. Stay. Pre-approved.”
