Kitten Care 101
Pet Age Staff //October 30, 2019//
Listen to this articleThere are two types of consumers: the ones who have never had a pet and will grab any product they see that they think they need, and the ones who do meticulous research on the type of pet they want and the products they need, regardless of whether they have had a pet before or not. These days, more and more consumers are looking deeper into the products available to provide their pets with the best, but it is the responsibility of the manufacturer and retailer to know how to cater to both types of consumers, especially when it comes to kitten products.
Kittens have an array of necessities, such as food, litter, litter boxes, toys and everything in between. For the uncertain consumer, this alone may seem daunting. These are the consumers who benefit greatly from your knowledge on the products available. Not only does it narrow down their choices and make them feel more confident, it helps you build a strong bond that will keep them coming back.
Any pet, or human, in the early stage of its life has seemingly endless energy and curiosity. The research-driven consumer wants products that enhance their kitten’s senses and overall wellness. Therefore, having a wide selection of products available with the right ingredients or materials and designed with the kitten in mind gives those consumers the opportunity to find the exact product they are looking for. It also gives options to the uncertain consumer if they have a particularly finicky kitten.
These products cater to both types of consumers because they address the basic needs of every kitten while offering features that benefit a kitten’s individuality and personality. Remember to educate both types of consumers on the benefits these brands offer so that they each can prioritize their kitten’s well-being.
