If you work in a veterinary practice or in the pet industry or in a business that supplies goods or services to the industry and you have something to say - why not become a 'Guest Blogger'?

Your clients, their family and friends are unlikely to find you if they don’t know you’re even on Facebook or any other social medium. Spending your advertising dollars on Facebook and Google ads is a great way to get your business name out there but before you do that – why not start with the (mostly) free stuff first?
Here’s a list of places you can easily (& cheaply!) add the relevant icons so all of your existing clients at least know where their favourite practice is in the world of social media:
Basically, add the social media icons where you have an account on anything that your clients might set eyes on. Of course, once you get them to visit you in the world of social media then you actually have to do something to keep them there – but that’s a conversation for another day.
I’d love to hear if you have any other ideas to add to the list above – just add your comments below.
Thanks to a great comment by Jane below I thought I’d share with you the design of the Vetanswers Business Card, Letterhead & With Comp Slip to show how you may be able to incorporate your social media icons. As mentioned in my comment below, all social media icon colours have been modified to suit the Vetanswers brand. Have a chat with your graphic designer to see what they can come up with – they’re very clever people! Or check out Canva where you may be able to do it yourself!
After a career in HR working in a range of service industries and teaching at TAFE for several years, I then (somewhat accidentally) found myself in the veterinary industry and here I’ve stayed because I love the people and what they do. I created the Vetanswers Community to provide the support, resources and solutions to help our members build happy, successful, profitable businesses and careers.

That is going to take up a lot of room on a business card…. all those icons in different colours and designs do not match up with my colour scheme and graphics at all!
Good point Jane! However that’s where the skills of a good graphic designer come into play. I’ve added an image (front & back) of my business card, letterhead & with comps slip with all of my social media icons – except Google+ & Pinterest as they weren’t around when I had them printed! The colours for each of the icons were modified to suit Vetanswers branding – what do you think?
