Memorial Certificate |
This is a certificate (memorial, honor of, appreciation, recognition, etc) on which
a photo of the donor's pet (or pet of someone for whom the memorial is being
donated) appears with a short narrative of appreciation indicating that something
of value has been given to the organization. |
It should be an attractive document, suitable for framing, and could actually be
given framed if desired and the costs are reasonable. It works because it
appeals to a person's need to be viewed as a humanitarian, as a nature lover,
and everything that symbolizes good about humanity. Done on a home computer, the cost is minimal. Time is a little more pricey. Scan a photo of the dog or cat to be memorialized, include the organization's logo for full effect, and be very sure to use high quality paper (preferably parchment). The graphic design/layout should be professional looking. One nice thing about this is that you can create a template for the document and only need to fill in the pet's photo (name & dates), and the pet's and family's name in the narrative section. All other formatting, including the logo, remains the same. Easy, huh? Word of mouth is a good advertising tool here. A newspaper ad, as well. Also, it could be sold for a set amount, such as at a craft show, or with a discretionary donation by some other means. |
