Get your store ready for National Love Your Pet Day

02/02/2021

Our animal friends are constant sources of joy and comfort to us, and for this we should be very grateful! Given what the past few months have brought, having pets in our homes and being able to enjoy their company and the entertainment they bring is a blessing.

As a way of saying thank you, why not give your pet a treat to celebrate National Love Your Pet Day? This annual event is being celebrated on Saturday 20th February 2021, presenting the perfect opportunity for your customers to shower their animal friends with gifts and treats aplenty.

In our latest blog, we take a look at this event and how you can cater to customers and promote National Love Your Pet Day.

What is National Love Your Pet Day?

Though showing love for our pets has been part of our lives for centuries, the formulation of National Love Your Pet Day began in the early 2000s and the event has grown in popularity ever since.

The event is particularly well celebrated by our friends across the pond in the USA, but National Love Your Pet Day has become a bigger event in the UK in recent years too. This means that as a UK-based retailer, the event presents a great opportunity to celebrate with pets in style.

What pet products does EFG have available?

EFG has a terrific selection of items available that can help your customers spoil their pets on National Love Your Pet Day 2021 and thank them for being the loyal and loving animals they are!

Dog owners can choose from our collection of wholesale dog products. With a host of super treats and wholesale dog toys for your four-legged friends, this is a strong choice for any retailer looking to cater to this demographic.

Cat owners too can take advantage of our fantastic wholesale cat products from EFG. We sell wholesale cat bowls, cat play balls and cat teasers that felines are sure to love.

We also stock brilliant wholesale fish products for those of your customers with friends in soggy homes, while you can also kit your shelves out with wholesale bird products too. Allow your customers to treat any frequent visitors to their gardens and bring some smiles to faces.

How should I promote National Love Your Pet Day?

This is the ideal kind of event to promote with dedicated areas in your store. You may already have a pet product section, but this event offers the opportunity to give these items an extra push. This can be enhanced by placing pet items close to checkouts and presenting the opportunity for impulse buys. 

You can also promote this event online via your website and social media channels. By asking questions like ‘what is your favourite moment with your pet in the past year?’, and ‘which treat does your pet really like?’, you can garner engagement and start conversations that can ultimately result in higher sales numbers.
