Become A Business Host
You don’t have to love dogs to want to be a business host, but you do have to love attracting engaged traffic, boosting your brand identity, and increasing profits. Saving lives and making an impact is just a really fantastic bonus.
The Go Fetch game is a social impact marketing campaign disguised as a game, and the only thing people love more than games, are dogs. So not only will you see an influx in visitors through your doors, but those visitors already have a positive opinion about your brand and are looking to engage when they arrive.
Happy Excited Customers
It doesn’t get any better than that now does it? The success of the Go Fetch game relies on business hosts, so we designed it to be simple, affordable and fun. Read on to learn all about becoming a business host and make sure to sign up today!
Simple, Affordable and Fun
Being A Business Host Is SIMPLE
Go Fetch is a simple card game that does not require skill, strategy, or technique and uses standard playing cards that are customized with your business details. We do the work, all you have to do is place the order and engage with players.
Being A Business Host Is AFFORDABLE
The goal of this social impact marketing campaign is to help the homeless dog crisis, while most marketing agencies focus just on profit. We recognize that money is important, but relationships and a strong network are more valuable to us. That’s why memberships are just $299 a year and we allocate 100% of those profits to funding the reward account and helping dogs. Our operational expenses are funded with game card purchases, so we aren’t making money if you aren’t seeing traffic. Our profit therefore is performance based.
Being A Business Host Is FUN
Most bosses don’t love it when their staff plays games on company time, but we know for certain they will make an exception for this one!
Go Fetch is a fun and engaging game that helps your staff build relationships and connect with current and future customers. Dogs are a topic that everyone loves to talk about and with the Go Fetch game you already have some shared common ground to start the conversation.
More Details About Business Host Memberships
-
We are launching the Go Fetch game in Connecticut, so business hosts must do business in the state of CT. They do not need to have a location that is open to the public, but they must be able to commit to a minimum of TWO “Fetch A Pup” events each year (see more below). These events can be done on the go (mobile or visiting business) or in conjunction with a fair or festival when the business rents a booth space.
Business host memberships are an ideal way to drive traffic and engage with players. Players make up a large demographic of ages, income levels, and industries making it a fantastic pool of candidates to interact with. The business host membership is especially beneficial for businesses that struggle to bring people through the doors, run “less enticing” businesses, rely on large numbers of interactions for sales, or have a limited marketing budget. Go Fetch is also fantastic for mobile businesses, creators, artists, and people who run home based businesses but sell at local venues. Go Fetch does not allow MLM affiliates, and reserves the right to deny membership for any reason that lies within state and federal law.

Fetch A Pup events are select days where business hosts actively help homeless dogs, municipal shelters, or an approved 501c3 rescue organization. These events can be days where you distribute flyers about a specific pup, host a supply drive / fundraiser, or have a rescue organization for a meet and greet in your location. We love creativity so let us know your ideas for a Fetch A Pup event and we will work together to make that happen!
Business members are required to host a minimum of two Fetch A Pup events a year but are encouraged to host more. These events are supported and approved through Rescue Dog Rustics so you don’t have to tackle the job on your own. You also can add in additional business incentives such as coupons, discounts and giveaways for event attendees.
Fetch A Pup events not only help dogs get adopted, but they also bring new players into the game. Anyone who attends the Fetch A Pup event will receive an official game card and once they collect an active hand of five (by attending five separate events) they can enter standard game play along with the business hosts and other players. For full details on game play click here.

We make signing up as simple as the game. The annual membership cost is just $299 with 100% of the profits from the membership fee going to help the homeless dog crisis directly. Once you sign up we will create a sample playing card back for your approval. Upon approval you can place your first order of customized playing cards in orders of 25 decks or more. The cost for 25 decks is $350. Playing cards are the only required ongoing expense for inclusion in the game.
Upon receipt of your custom playing cards we will add your business to the website as a participating location and you are ready to start planning your first Fetch A Pup event! We do require the first event be within the first 60 days of your membership and will provide you direct support as you prepare for that event.
As a business host you will have access to the business portal with a wide variety of support topics, networking opportunities, official merchandise / promotional items and more. To become a business host just click the “Join Now” button below.

Not only can buisness hosts play the game, but they are highly encouraged to play! Business members can play directly with other members, which creates a fantastic networking opportunity as well as a way to collect the cards you need to get entered into the business drawing. In addition, business members are listed on the website as a participating location and players will come into the business looking to play a round. During Fetch A Pup events, businesses will be handing out cards wiithout requesting any in exchange, but in standard game play both the player and the business will request a card they need. If that card is in the other players active hand then they will provide it as requested. A round of play ends when each both the business host and the player have been told “Go Fetch”.

Business hosts play the game too! Although you will hand out free cards at Fetch A Pup Events you will have the ability to engage with players everyday in standard play. This includes the general public and other business hosts. While the public can enter to win a monthly drawing of $500 we offer a much greater value for monthly business host winners! Collect four of a kind from four different businesses and get one entry. Collect four of a kind with one card from each suit, and four businesses other than your own, and earn 5 entries to the monthly drawing!
One business member winner will be drawn at random each month. The winner will receive recognition as the Go Fetch Official Sponsor of the month and will not only receive front page advertising and social media recognition, but will also be credited with any projects, funding, or assistance provided by Rescue Dog Rustics to municipal shelters and rescue organizations in the month of your sponsor ship. This type of visibility and free marketing would cost thousands with a standard campaign.
