Dog calendar contest for independent hardware retailers

Sarah Stowe

Home Timber and Hardware is following the success of its inaugural 2009 Dogs on the Job calendar with a national competition to find AustraliaÕs top dogs to star in the 2010 calendar, with the theme Dogs and their Homes. The competition is calling for Australians to get snap happy and enter pictures of their dogs in their homes via the website with the 12 chosen dogs starring in the Home Timber and Hardware 2010 calendar in homes across Australia.

The competition also provides an excellent vehicle for involvement of the independently owned Home Timber and Hardware retail outlets and their staff through creative point of sale materials, national advertising and an online entry process. “WeÕre encouraging and providing support for in-store activity and events that will enable all Home Timber and Hardware stores to involve customers and the community in the excitement and ultimately drive sales forward,” said Andrew Senyard, national marketing manager of Home Timber and Hardware.

The HOME 2010 Dogs and their Homes calendar will be on sale from November 2009. Visit www.homehardware.com.au for more information.
