us why for a chance to win Pet Product News’ Retailer of the Year competition!
Submit your application ow for Pet Product News’ annual Retailer of the Year

Product News wants to showcase stories of how businesses
have survived and thrived despite the sometimes seemingly
stacked odds.
We’re looking to honor out-

stores, multiple stores, special-
ty stores, boutiques, pet service
establishments—in various
categories. What innovative
business, sales or management
techniques do you employ
every day? Why do your cus-
tomers love your store? What
about your store embodies true
independent spirit? Share your
dedication to pets and their wel-
fare, services offered, promotion
and marketing efforts, commu-
nity involvement, employment
training and retention, con-
sumer education efforts, genius
merchandising techniques, busi-
ness management strategies and
more. We want to know what
makes your pet store(s) stand
out from the crowd.
