Dogs Rule! ( at our house anyway) We have plaque at our house, saying "If you want the best seat in the house, you'll have to remove the dog." Our dogs sleep in the bed, lie on the sofa; life's tough!
We've had a lot of dogs over the years and more than one at at time. Both of our boys have dogs they inherited from our pack or added as new. Since 2010 our pack has moved from pure breeds to rescues, each loved for their own unique personalities.
According to The American Pet Products Association, almost 85 million households have a pet and over the last 30 years pet ownership has gone from 56% to 68% of all households. In fact, the American Veterinary Medical Association suggests that 36.5% of American household own a dog- that's 43,346,000 households- Yikes!
What types of businesses would want to connect with dog lovers?
Think outside the dog house. Besides the obvious businesses offering pet services for grooming, boarding, outdoor adventures, day care and training consider these types of reasons:
- Rental properties that are dog friendly
- Parks or properties that want to remind you to pick up your dog waste
- Realtors helping with the family move
- Banks or retail that see dogs stopping by for a visit with their owner
- Senior Centers that allow pets to be part of the family
- College Graduates- looking for a companion in their new home
- Breweries that have a place for dogs to play
- Restaurants with outdoor seating
- Dry Cleaners that specialize in removing dog hair or stains
- Carpet Cleaners
What types of gifts can you brand?
