Recession-Proof Pet Products

by 3 Comments

Are pet products recession-proof? In 2009 American households spent an estimated $45 billion on their pets, despite a tough economy. What is the driving factor behind this market? Could it be that roughly 6 out of 10 households have a pet? Or could it be the majority of pet owners view their pets as a member of the family?

The desire to spoil a pet that provides unconditional love is a strong motivation when it comes to consumers parting with their money. Given all this,  it appears pet products have the ability to weather a tough economic storm.

Think about it:  Even in these economic times people continue to spend money on their pets. A leading box-mart pet store boasted a six percent increase in sales, amid U.S. economic struggles. Such a large increase when the economy is in strife clearly shows that pet products may be recession-proof.

What does that mean for you?
Maybe now is the time to collar the pet product market. Where do you begin? The majority of pets are dogs and cats, and as a result, most of the pet products purchased are for dogs and cats. But, what else do you need to know to come out ahead of the pack?

Who’s Buying  For Their Pets?

Research has shown that baby boomers and empty nesters are the most common purchasers of pet products. Boomers love to dote on their pets, which, in turn, creates a need and a opportunity for dog accessories, cat toys, pet clothing and other pet-oriented products.

Empty-nesters with stable, disposable incomes are buying upscale collars, dogs beds and even doggie pools.Young professionals who are delaying the start of a family and opting for raising a pet are also jumping on the pet accessory bandwagon. A versatile customer base from all segments of life is what makes pet products a tremendous sales opportunity.

Selling Pet Products

As a retailer, what sales strategy should you take when about selling pet products? You need a clear starting point, whether expanding the pet products you offer or adding them to your existing product mix.  Take stock of what you already have and how pet products relate to your existing merchandise.

Do you offer gourmet foods? Gourmet pet foods maybe the perfect way to dive into the pet industry. If you carry jewelry, try adding dog or cat-inspired jewelry and upscale leashes and collars. New products are best introduced when you associate it with a product you already sell.

When you take time to work new products into your sales mix, you will have a greater success rate. One of the biggest mistakes a retailer can make is adding a product that is too different from their normal product mix.

Think about it:  It is far easier to sell a customer a dogie tee shirt, if they normally buy your line of human tees. The combining of human tees with dog tees is not at all far fetched.

The tee shirt example is just one example of how “cross selling” can help you integrate pet products into your store. “Cross selling” is an easy marketing tool that any shop can utilize. Just remember items like jewelry can lead to Continue reading “Recession-Proof Pet Products” »

Pet Products – A Sales Treat For You

by 1 Comment

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 Greeting Cards
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.

Pet Safety Data Tag
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

Pampered Dog Gift Set
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.
