Pet Products – A Sales Treat For You

Thursday, June 11th, 2009 - Posted by Leigh Morrisett

Did you know that people spend more money on their pet than they do on going to movies, video games and recorded music combined? We’re talking roughly $41 billion dollars spent on pets, according to Business Week, The Pet Economy.

Pet Products Equal Sales

Pet products are one of the biggest growing retail markets of this decade.  If you’re the typical pet owner in the US, you are not only interested in giving your pet food, water and shelter, but also the finer things in life. Organic food, treats and even fancy harnesses and collars are just a few of the products people are buying for their pets.

Pet products encompass all types of products for creatures such as ferrets, snakes, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds and pot belly pigs, just to name a few. All of these pets have devoted niche markets that cater to them. This allows the retailer a myriad of customers to draw from and target. Cat and dog products are the most commonly sold pet products. However, there is a fantastic opportunity to sell to the exotic pet owners, as well.

Pet Products Not Just For Pets

Pet products are not just for the enjoyment or health of pets, but are beneficial for people as well. Oral health care products for pets make owners happy. Why? Pets who have healthy teeth and gums have fresher breath and less health problem, which equates to smaller vet bills for the owners. After all, pets are not just possessions, but members of their families.

As members of their family, the health and safety of their pets is a major concern for owners. Pet care products give owners piece of mind. How? Products like medical ID tags, tracking collars and pet safety products provide owners with ways to eliminate dangers when they can’t be with their pet. Next to pet pampering products, pet safety products are one of the biggest niche markets in the pet industry.

Catering to pet people involves more than products for pets. Have you noticed that pet owners will gravitate to greeting cards, t-shirts, coffee mugs or just about anything that have pets on them? Greeting cards are a fantastic way to capture a piece of the pet industry market. The key to capturing part of the pet market is to remember the pet product market is vast.  It incorporates all things pet-related, from treats, toys, clothes (for the owner and the pet) to items such as greeting cards, pet carriers and even pool ramps.

Don’t Forget Pets With Feathers, Scales and Exotic Fur

Since pet products offer such a lucrative sales market, it’s worth the time to look over all the possible products to find a pet product line that works for your store.

Items that pamper cats and dogs are always a hit. Cat toys, dog clothing or gourmet pet treats can easily be blended with your other products. However, don’t neglect the other less common pets, such as birds, reptiles or exotic pets. Their owners want to purchase toys, collars, and healthy items as well.

Interested in carrying a few pet products or wish to expand your current sales mix of pet products? FGmarket has made it easy for you. We’ve highlighted a few wholesale pet products below to get you started. You can find more accessories for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, as well as pet toys and other pet products at FGmarket.

Every pet owner who has ever had a rowdy puppy or a hyper dog to quiet will love the painless way audio-Therapy Innovations calms dogs into a peaceful sleep! Originally developed for babies, pet owners everywhere quickly discovered that these Canine Lullabies quieted pets during thunderstorms, car rides and other times when dogs are on edge.

Most dog owners have experienced the thunderstorms that are so loud and obnoxious (at least the dogs think so) that sleep is just not an option for Fido. Those are the nights when pet owners begin to dread thunderstorms because they get no sleep as well! Well, one of the most clever pet products around are the dog relaxing music from audio-Therapy Innovations. This soft music quickly calms the nerves of antsy dogs and allows everyone to get some rest!

Car rides are equally strenuous for many pet owners. If the dog has not grown used to traveling, his or her first ride will be a bear. Subsequent rides may get easier but some dogs remain skiddish even as an adult dog. Not anymore! There’s no need to endure difficult trips with the pooch when Canine Lullabies exist. Even if the dog doesn’t sleep, he or she will rest long enough to give you a chance to relax between bathroom breaks. Calming music for dogs is a dream come true for pet owners who travel a lot!

If your customers are dog owners, they know the hassles of calming a hyper or nervous dog. In the mind of a dog owner, it’s part of being a “parent” but it’s one that no one wants to deal with often! …click here to read How Do You Calm Rowdy Pets?…

If you answered “why yes I am!”– thank you for the enthusiasm. Here’s the solution.

PetzLife Products Inc. takes great care of pets. In fact, their motto and dare I say credo is “dedicated to improving pets lives.” No pet owner wants to see his or her pet suffering from a dental disease. It’s not fun in humans.

When the dog or cat is down in the dumps it affects everyone around the house. PetzLife Products keeps this mopey dopey feeling far away from pets by providing the oral care solution that all pets need.

The pet owners at your store are looking for pet products that make their pets feel great. Just like any child, seeing the “smile” on a …click here to read Are You Disgusted By Pet Plaque & Tarter?…

Get Inspired By Noel! You Know You Want To…

Monday, May 18th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

It’s pretty hard not to find an occasion to send greeting cards after looking at the animal greeting cards at Inspired By Noel. Dogs, cats and even a giraffe find their way to the covers of these sentimental and funny greeting cards. If you want to delight the pet owners in your store, help them find a reason to send greeting cards. In that moment, you’ll all be glad that you got Inspired By Noel.

Being a dog owner is something that gets to the heart of who the person is. It makes you want to rush home from work and see the eager face waiting at the door. It makes you see the your dog in every other dog or dog picture out there. You even begin to sympathize with the guy holding the plastic bag. When you’ve reached this level of a-dog-ration, you begin to shop for pet products that speak to this side of you.

Have customers that have reached this point and then some? Make their hearts skip a beat with greeting cards that express their sentiments through the adoring eyes of a puppy.

Oh but the same can be said for cat owners. Cat owners are a different breed (slight pun intended) but require the same level of high quality products for their pets.
