Title: Ottawa Pet Expo - 2 for 1
Post by: Stussi613 on October 28, 2013, 05:01:57 PM
Hi all,

You may have noticed the banner above for the Pet Expo. If you are planning on attending please click the link if you need to buy tickets as OVAS has secured 2 for 1 admissions for everyone on the forum.

Cheers,

Stuart

Just wondering if there is a promotion code or something in order for us to get the 2 for 1 deal.

No, if you look at the second option it's 2 adults for $12 which is half price.

Big Al's is giving away coupons with the 2 for 1 deal.

Yes, some of the local sponsors have 2 for 1 coupons, but it's better for people to buy their tickets off the link above on OVAS if they are planning on going for a couple of reasons:

1.  The banners on OVAS have links that track activity to the people that put them up on here.  When you click the link it shows the sponsors/shows that there is value in their sponsorship here.  How many people have Amazona's magazine subscriptions in the club?  Did you know if you click the banner above to buy it you support OVAS by helping us keep sponsorship money flowing into the club?  I'm assuming most people didn't because very few people click through that link and buy their subscriptions through OVAS.

2.  For those of you that don't know, the Pet Expo only accepts a small number of non-profits and charities into the show every year.  The competition for space is pretty high, and we get accepted because we have a good relationship with them.  They are hoping to track the number of ticket sales through that banner and justify why they give us space over a dog rescue, or something like "Save the mice!" (I don't know if that's real, LOL).  If you click that link to buy your tickets you end up helping the club.

3.  I know that allot of us are on a budget, and everyone wants to save money...but using local sponsors also helps keep OVAS running.  Things like AquaMania wouldn't be possible without our sponsors support and they keep track of the users that are coming through OVAS.  Buying from them helps keep the lights on and helps us develop programs to further the hobby.

All right but how do we get the Pet Expo link to come up?  I'm on this page and I have pressed F5 15 times to refresh this page and these are the links that come up.

1.  Richard Inchley Ponds & Aquariums
2.  Ray's Marine
3.  Got Fish?
4.  Aquarium Services
5.  Ray's Marine
6.  Aquarium Services
7.  La Niche
8.  Amazona's
9.  MOPS
10. Reef to Rainforest Media
11. Reef to Rainforest Media
12. Amazona's
13. Reef to Rainforest Media
14. Got Fish?
15. MOPS

So I'm not sure what link you're really talking about? How many times do I have to reload before I get the link?
