APPA Public Relations Program
APPA’s Marketing Communications Department and The Impetus Agency promote pet ownership and the pet product industry by creating a gateway between APPA members, the media and pet owners.
Member Spotlight-Press Releases
As an APPA member, your products can be included in trend-themed press releases that are distributed over the wire and sent directly to major media outlets nationwide. These include such topics and holiday gift guides, hot new products, and animal related observances. Look for opportunities in the weekly newsletter, the APPA e-Update, or go to the APPA Press Center for a list of recently published press releases.
Pets Add Life Campaign
Member products can also be featured on APPA’s hugely successful social media campaign Pets Add Life. With big followings on platforms such as Facebook, you can get involved through contests and giveaways that get your products in front of hundreds of thousands of consumers at no cost.
