Save the Rhino
At Tradie Wraps, our mascot Spike the Rhino represents our bold marketing ethos, one we live by and encourage all our customers to embrace: Make one or two points. Make them loud. Make them count.
SaveTheRhino.org is leading the charge for rhino conservation and at Tradie Wraps we are determined to increase exposure and support for this important cause - just like a charging rhino.
We celebrate these incredible animals while also raising awareness about the serious threats they face, from horn poaching to habitat destruction.
September 22nd is International Rhino Day and we will be running a number of promotions to bring awarenss to these great creatures and the dangers they face on a daily basis. Check out our September Rhino Fund Raiser here.
