Trick-or-Treat for dogs as advertising?

In the past I've run to get one of my dog's treats to give to people who bring their dog out trick-or-treating with their kids. This year I found these http://www.petsmart.com/dog/chewy-treats/beggin-strips-halloween-grab-and-go-dog-treat-value-pack-zid36-37036/cat-36-catid-100051?var_id=36-5253116

Now I know Beggin' Strips aren't the best but hey, it's a cute idea and I don't see any other manufacturer doing this kind of packaging.

Anywho... after I bought them I realized it would be perfect to staple a business card to each one I hand out. Does that seem weird or pushy?? I think it's a great idea but I get stuff like this wrong sometimes.

It doesn't seem weird or pushy to me. Are you handing out candy/treat bags yourself? If so, that presents the perfect time to start a conversation about your services, and then you can hand out your business cards with the treat bags if you feel weird about attaching them to the bags beforehand. I hope I'm home during trick or treat this year because you just gave me a good idea!

Thanks for the positive feedback Mary C. I do hand out the candy myself. We've been handing out full-size candy bars for years AND we have super nice decorations (People have actually taken photos of their kids on my porch!) so our house is kind of 'known'. I think I just found the Pay-Off . LOL!!

I think this is a fantastic and creative idea. I see many trick or treaters with dogs and never thought of giving the dogs a treat too! Great idea putting a business card to it. Even if you get one new client this way, it pays off. Also a great way to meet some neighbors you possibly would not have met otherwise. Way to think out of the box.

Where did you hand them out?

The park, outside of petsmart, dog grooming salons. I mean, hey, it's worth a shot but I personally didn't have any luck. Your idea is more inventive and personalized so it might be more worth it
