Your Pet Business Isn’t The Same As Coca-Cola, So Why Should Your Marketing Be?
Great pet business marketing strategy and “best practices” are distinct from other industries. While the technology may be the same (Facebook, SEO, email, etc.), the emotional connection pet businesses have with their communities and the expectations of those communities are different than other products.
Your customers are trusting you with their family members, and building your pet business customer base has as much to do with earning that trust as it does providing the right product or service.
Jane Harrell, our Founder, has 18+ years experience of creating content strategy and marketing for world-changing brands, like Petfinder, Positively and Victoria Stilwell Academy, IDEXX Laboratories, Animal Planet, and more. Her secret? She recognizes, reviews and collects the best marketing practices unique to the pet industry while understanding the technology that drives consumer and B2B marketing. Jane’s passion for data and her MVP-approach to marketing strategy has brought her multiple awards and she has been published on the covers of leading pet-industry publications.
