NEW YORK - March 22, 2021 - On Tuesday, April 27th, retailers, groomers and media can hop onto zoom to experience a day full of learning about new pet products on the market, establish business relationships, and enjoy pet industry fun.
"What pet parents, especially millennials are looking for when shopping for their pets is something that solves all their concerns – their pet's health and longevity as well as the impact on this planet," says Nancy Hassel, President of American Pet Professionals.
According to a survey conducted by American Pet Professionals, there is still concern and hesitation for many when it comes to attending an in-person event. The survey results concluded these statistics:
Will you attend an In-Person pet industry event within the next 6 months?
Yes - Absolutely - 31.3%
Yes, but only after I am vaccinated - 19.4%
Maybe - depends on the event - 19.4%
Not Sure - 13.4%
Nope, I don't feel comfortable yet - 16.4%
"It's a disappointment we will not meet in person this year, but Nancy and I are going above and beyond to ensure that our Zoom Pop virtual expo will be just as informative, engaging and fun!" expresses Dana Humphrey, President of Whitegate PR and "The Pet Lady."
Each hour on the hour will spotlight one retailer who will be on a live panel answering questions from hosts Nancy and Dana. In addition, there will be retailers, distributors and pet product buyers on the panels interviewing the vendors as well.
April 27th's virtual event will be like a pop-up trade show. All vendors will receive an attendee list, people are encouraged to bring their pets, and attendees can request to have product samples mailed to them. Pets Plus Magazine will be this year's media sponsor.
The vendor lineup currently includes: Asher + Arden, Brilliant Salmon Oil, Earth Animal, Healthy Line, Pampered Pets USA, Chews Happiness, JaxxGear and Rogue Pet Science. In addition, Pets Plus Magazine will be this year's partner and media sponsor.
