4 pet shop marketing ideas to boost sales


Is your pet shop struggling to find ways to improve brand awareness and increase sales? Take a look at our pet shop marketing ideas and discover how your business could reach new heights in 2017:

Partner up

Are there other animal-focused businesses in your area? Whether it’s a grooming salon or a vet’s surgery, joining forces could be beneficial to both of your companies. Advertising each other in-store will promote your brand to a new relevant audience, and you could even implement a referral scheme initiative to increase profits!

Share the wisdom

Do your customers often ask you similar questions when browsing your store? Maybe they’re interested in finding out the benefits of a certain type of fish food, or the best accessories to buy for dog training. Answering these questions on a blog is a great way to improve brand awareness online. Make a note of the most frequently asked questions, and create helpful and informative content for your website!

Interest customers

Potential pet-owners may be put off purchasing a small animal due to worries about their maintenance. Why not alleviate their fears and increase your chances of making a sale by hosting animal care classes in your shop? If you advertise it well, you could draw in a new audience with a definite interest in your product. Make sure to take their details, and follow up with discount offers to their email inbox.

Expand online

You may have a website to promote your business, but have you considered selling online? This is a fantastic idea if you manufacture your own pet items, and marketing your unique product to a global audience is easier than you think. There are many simple online shop builders available, and accepting payments online is easier and cheaper than you may think with Handepay!
