Macarthur, Bradbury & Mt Annan Veterinary Clinics
July 2010 Pets Newsletter
Welcome,
 
First of all this month, we’d like to introduce you to couple of little guys that you’ll be seeing a lot more of in the near future:
  

Meet “Mac” the Golden Retriever puppy (because Peter, one of our partners just loves Goldens) and “Arthur” cause he’s a pom … a British Blue. They’re our new mascots who will grace the pages of much of our revised documentation – so look out for them. 
 
The rollout of our new look is moving along nicely … the new vaccination cards and reminder cards are on their way and our new letterhead, receipts, invoices etc. look clean, crisp, and display our new logo:

  
The team at each clinic (Bradbury, Camden and Mt. Annan) are wearing their new uniforms, and I must say, we look like the professional team we are in fact.
 
Just to keep you up to speed with a couple of promotions that are running at the moment:
 
ADVANTAGE have a five page promotion on fleas running in Burke’s Backyard magazine. You can win a family holiday worth $10,000 with the purchase of one pack of Advantage and visiting www.nofleas.com.au.  
REVOLUTION is introducing Marmaduke (the cartoon Great Dane) as their promotional mascot to coincide with the launch of “Marmaduke, the movie”. He is currently sitting at Reception and looks very dignified. For the chance to win a lifetime’s supply of Revolution you simply purchase a packet of Revolution at reception and visit www.winrevolution.com.au and fill in an online entry form.
PFIZER are offering you the chance to win one of 3 holidays just for completing a form and providing them with some market research. Quantities of the forms are at each clinic – what have you got to lose?
 
Isn’t the old saying, “You have to be in it to win it”
 
Have a great month.
