Breeder Promotions - exclusive to IKKPS.

IKKPS is like no other KuneKune Registry. We spend an enormous number of resources on advertising our members and breeders in public on social media. No other KuneKune registry does this! We are proud to be the very first and no other Registry does it like we do! In IKKPS, we only have former KuneKune breeders so all our attention and focus can be on the KuneKune breeders and their needs. So you don't compete with any leaders of IKKPS, we spend our time focused on helping YOU!

Getting your farm name, KuneKunes for sale, and KuneKune piglets for sale is vital to your success as a breeder. We got you! Advertising you, your family, and pigs for sale every day on social media. As a result, buyers find you. Likewise, this is a very time-consuming membership benefit but one of the most important. You can breed the absolute best KuneKunes, but, if your potential buyers don’t get reminded often about you and your farm, someone else will get that sale. Therefore, we give this priority. Every member is promoted every month. Depending on your membership level selected, you will be promoted on several different social media platforms!

Advertising is expensive but, not with IKKPS, you pay nothing. It is a membership benefit. We utilize our 3 Facebook pages and depending on your membership level we also use Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and even Reddit to get the word out about your farm and litter.
