Marketing Plan

PetSmart financially has been increasing each year, earning 7,112 million in sales last year. These increases have been steadily increasing over the years, but last year PetSmart lost some of that growth by only increasing .1 million in sales from 2014 to 2015. Their operating cash flow took a hit of .40 million dollars and dividends to stockholders decreased $30 million dollars in 2013(Fedora 2014). PetSmart did open more stores in 2013 than usual, so this is one reason why they took a little financial hit. PetSmart has also discussed that their recent customer satisfaction decline could have led to this decrease as well. In 2014, PetSmart noticed this and was able to reverse this trend by slowing down their store growth, and increasing their dividends. Their dividend payout increased 48.6% over the year, revenues increased 2%, and EPS increased 6%. PetSmart and Racobaldo Consulting Firm have agreed that regardless, one are they need to improve is custom satisfaction. This will help build trust that all pet owners can feel encouraged to take their pet to our PetSmart services. PetSmart services are often cheaper than that of vets and other groomers, so if quality continues to rise, PetSmart believes they can continue to build that trust (Wahba 2014).

Combined sales of large pet store chains PetSmart (including Canadian revenues) and Petco closed in on US$12 billion in 2015. The two companies share a number of similarities: their targeting of pet parents, their dual focus on national (and especially natural) brands and private labels, their emphasis on higher-margin products and services, and their leading e-commerce websites (The Success, June 2016). Furry-Mart will build on the foundation that these two leaders in the industry today. Neither PetSmart nor Petco offer all the services that Furry-Mart will provide (adoption, boarding and grooming, etc.). Furry-Mart will set itself apart by taking advantage of all these categories and ensuring they are the one stop shop for all our pet

Consequently, the research involving places at PetSmart, Petco, and K9 Innovations is where I spent time observing and connecting with people from these segments. Providing a profile on the “persona” of my target user, includes my customers core needs, attitudes, behaviors, and purchase preferences (Meyer & Crane). Ordinarily, my customer demographics would consist of households without any children or adult children living outside the pet owner’s household. The attitude of the average animal owner, value their beloved pets while appreciating the health benefits from a skilled groomer. This adds to the customer needs of brushing, combing, bathing, nail trimming, and proper ear care which is imperative to remove dirt and parasites from

As a kennel technician at Char’s Pomeranians, it is my concern that not enough grooming is getting done to meet the needs of the company. I believe that a grooming position should be created within the company, which would maximize efficiency and quality of life for all dogs in our care. A groomer would be able to concentrate their time on keeping the dogs bathed and clean. This person would be able to check overall condition of each dog on a more regular basis than time allows for currently. The kennel technicians would also have more time, to complete daily tasks of care for the dogs. The grooming position would be a mid-level position with a wage of $10.00 per hour for 30 hours per week. This position would be funded partially by
