While employed at Reward Hospitality, I combined my copywriting expertise with my background and passion for pet care to create an engaging, high-performing resource for the hospitality sector. Recognising the post-COVID surge in pet ownership, I developed “How to Make Your Cafe Dog Friendly” to help venue owners capitalise on a growing consumer trend while navigating the practical realities of welcoming canine guests.
What I Achieved for Reward Hospitality:
Tapping into Human Interest: I framed the article around the emotional bond people share with their pets, positioning dog-friendly dining as a powerful way for cafes and restaurants to build community, foster customer loyalty, and generate organic word-of-mouth buzz.
Targeted Industry Guidance: Rather than writing a generic lifestyle piece, I tailored the content specifically to hospitality decision-makers. The guide tackled real operational pain points—including local food safety regulations, guide dog legislation, staff etiquette, venue layout, and safe “mutt menu” development—establishing Reward Hospitality as a knowledgeable industry partner.
Subtle, Effective Product Promotion: I seamlessly wove commercial calls-to-action into the helpful advice. By recommending specific, durable products—such as non-porous melamine crockery for canine menus, matching porcelain ranges for human diners, and dedicated janitorial supplies—the blog naturally drove traffic toward Reward Hospitality’s core product catalogue without feeling overly sales-driven.
The Results:
This piece quickly became one of the standout copywriting successes of my tenure at Reward Hospitality. Thanks to its relatable topic, practical value, and shareable tips, the blog performed exceptionally well across social media platforms, driving strong engagement and bringing targeted hospitality traffic back to the website.
