Who can you reach:

Dog Friendly Dorset Membership is a unique combination of website, social media and direct marketing.  We have a targeted and niche local market of dog owners in Dorset.

Our channels are unique in providing targeted local reach online, combining a trusted, well established and regularly updated website with social media and direct marketing. Our website gains between 3-5K reach each month and growing.

What is truly original is our Facebook Community group which has over 14,500 members and a huge reach of over 300,000 people per month.

We are a very busy and vibrant community!

With 8-10K posts/comments a month on our Facebook group alone....

Built from the community up, we are quirky, fun and very friendly. With a finger on the pulse of what our dog guardians and parents want for their beloved pets.

We are Dog Friendly and friendly by nature. We never post a negative review and we are the only Facebook group which moderates and strictly disallows any naming/shaming and any language which passes judgement over others or causes incitement. This means that we are a trusted, safe community for your brand to appear.

Our social media, website and direct email communications can promote your business to 30,000+ (with a much broader reach of over 300,000 people) monthly, always reinforcing the key message: to visit dog friendly places and support #localbusiness
