Growth Hacks

1. Tap Into Pet Influencers
   Leverage pet influencers on platforms like Instagram and TikTok to showcase your product. With authentic, pet-focused content, these influencers can drive significant traffic to your brand.

• Send free samples to influencers with pet accounts for reviews.

• Run co-branded giveaways to reach their audience.

• Example: Partner with an account like @DougThePug, which has millions of followers, to showcase PetPlate meals.

2. Subscription Upselling
   Increase customer lifetime value by offering premium subscription add-ons.

• Add options like seasonal treats or veterinary consultations for an extra fee.

• Use targeted email campaigns to highlight the benefits of upgrading.

• Example: Offer a $20/month upgrade for custom pet meal plans based on breed, age, and health conditions.

Key Tip For Business

Sales Masterclass

• Make It Personal
  Tailor sales conversations or advertisements to individual needs. Customers are more likely to buy when they feel understood.
  Example: Use a quiz on your website to recommend a PetPlate meal plan based on a pet’s age, size, and health conditions.

• Create Irresistible Bundles
  Packaging complementary products together encourages higher spending.
  Example: Bundle a month’s supply of meals with a free toy or treat for an additional $10.

• Leverage Customer Stories
  Social proof sells. Share real customer testimonials and before-and-after stories to highlight how your product improves lives.
  Example: “Max was a picky eater, but with PetPlate, he finishes every meal and has more energy!”

Business Marketing 101

1. Leverage Geotargeting for Ads
   Run localized ads to target areas where your product is in high demand.

• Focus on pet-friendly cities like Austin or Seattle.

• Use Google Ads’ geotargeting features to concentrate ad spend.

2. Host Virtual Pet Events
   Engage your audience with interactive online events like pet cooking classes or webinars with veterinarians.

• Offer exclusive discounts for attendees.

• Use social media platforms to promote the events.

3. Launch a Loyalty Program
   Reward repeat customers with points that can be redeemed for discounts or free products.

• Create tiers based on spending habits to encourage more purchases.

• Example: “Earn 1 point for every $1 spent; redeem 50 points for $10 off.”
