What Is SSLH
SSLH is short for SitStayLiveHere.com. This website is a free directory showcasing CT Municipal Shelter dogs who are available for adoption. It provides clear visibility for local dogs who desperately need our help.
The name SSLH is a playful way to showcase that communities who support the SSLH mission are compassionate, thoughtful, and overall are great places to live. The name invites people to sit down, stay awhile, check it all out, and recognize all the great things around them. After all, anyone who cares about dogs, must be good people.
What Is The SSLH Scavenger Hunt
The SSLH Scavenger Hunt is equal parts marketing campaign for local businesses, and visibility booster for local shelter dogs.
The first day of each month we publish a list of twenty five businesses on the SSLH website. Players have two weeks to visit these businesses in person and find the SSLH digital display where they will see a 80 second loop introducing them to a local shelter dog, AI generated images of the shelter dog enjoying your products and services, and a QR code that they will scan to secure an entry into the prize drawing.
Players are entered to win a $25 gift card at each business they visit and can also win a $500 cash prize if they visit all twenty five businesses in the campaign.
What Are The Benefits
The SSLH Scavenger Hunt is a social impact marketing campaign. These styles of campaigns create emotional connections between the customer and the business. Emotional connections are directly linked to increased customer loyalty and a more positive brand reputation which boost profits. In addition over 70% of people are likely to choose to view content that includes dogs which not only opens you up to an enlarged customer base but also sets you up to convert those customers into loyal customers.
In addition to boosting your bottom line, participating in the SSLH scavenger hunt literally saves lives. Shelter dogs are generally housed in locations off the beaten path and rely solely on social media and word of mouth to get adopted. The homeless dog crisis has reached extreme levels with abuse, neglect and abandonment rates all increasing significantly in just the past few years. Adoptions have also slowed and dogs are commonly waiting months or even years before being adopted or pulled by a supportive rescue. The situation is dire, and one way to make an immediate impact is to increase awareness.
The SSLH Scavenger Hunt drives traffic directly into your business and requires players to be a captive audience for 80 seconds. They are incentivized to do so with large prizes, and their focus on the digital display is a fantastic opportunity for you to showcase all the things they are bound to love. We casually work the details into the playful images and content they are viewing while allowing them to experience your vibe in a pressure free and enjoyable manner. Getting them through the door is often times more than half the battle.
Your business also receives a spotlight day on social media. This includes announcing the winner of the gift card drawing as well as sharing details about the business and the shelter dog you sponsored.
What Does It Cost
The SSLH Scavenger Hunt is affordably priced at just $349 plus a $25 gift card per campaign. We will draw the gift card winner for you but you will provide that prize directly to the recipient.
For businesses who sign up for a campaign in May, June or July of 2026 you will also receive a traffic guarantee. On average businesses pay $4 to $20 per visit for advertising. We guarantee a minimum of 100 new visitors to your store OR we will include you in a future campaign at no cost. Talk about a great price!
We know it may take some time for the word to spread about the SSLH Scavenger Hunt and we want to reward those businesses who make the leap early to help us save lives.
What Do I Need To Do
Preparing for the SSLH Scavenger Hunt is easy, and once it launches you will find it requires very little maintenance. Your physical location will need to have wi-fi and a secure location near a power source where we can set up the 10.1” digital display.
You will provide some basic information and a few photos of the business. Once the hunt has launched we will ask you to ensure the digital display is functioning properly and secure. If we have to swap your sponsored shelter dog mid hunt for any reason we will notify you, but everything else is done behind the scenes and remotely.
