Give your business a lift this year.
Afternoon all,
I'm looking for small businesses both new or existing that want to elevate their brands this year (if you aren't leveraging your business as a brand we need to talk!) After 15 years working for others in design businesses I took a leap last year to working in my own business and working alongside business owners passionate to push their brands to the next level. Success for your business is completely unique so a unique approach should be taken. Maybe it's getting more of the customers you want (and less of the price shoppers) or launching a new product to market. Strategic design can and should be part of your plan of action to achieve those goals.
If you're looking for Branding, Packaging or any promotional design in either the digital or traditional print space then please reach out. I am fully booked for my larger February projects so meetings are now taking place for spaces in March onwards. Reach out for a quick chat and check out my website at www.sorayaking.com.... Would love to be working with more local businesses.
Look forward to talking with you.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
