We should contact pet based social media accounts in Boston to get shoutouts. Here's a list of people we should follow/reach out to.

Two ideas for what to say to these groups. Make the message relevant to them and give them more information that goes beyond the tweet.

To make it relevant to them, talk about why this group or this group's Twitter audience would like @CutiesForBoston. If they like, they will want to give it a shout out. A fun, easy way to do this is to reply to one of their tweets.

For example: https://twitter.com/HarvardDanger/status/483036650348769280
"@harvarddanger - love it! We need to bring yoga to more animals. And their human parents. I have some in mind [link to blog post]"

Since these accounts will be finding out about @CutiesInBoston for the first time, it would be good to point them somewhere to learn about this project. @CutiesInDenver wrote a blog post about their project, and I suggest writing a blog post as well to help with publicity. The main points to cover are

• What is @CutiesInDenver?
• What purpose does it serve?
• How can I support it? Promote it. Tell animal lovers, organizations and businesses.
• Who made it? @codeforboston
