Introduction to Marketing for Pet Supply Companies

Eli's Organics MKT 113: Final Project Part I Milestone Two Southern New Hampshire University Eli's Organics as a pet supply company located in California and has been in business for 2 years and specializes in healthy food to make your pet feel amazing inside and out. We also offe a line of great tasting meals made with fresh whole-food ingredients and balanced with our nutrients blends to meet the long-term nutritional needs for your pet. What separates us from other pet food stores is our weekly delivery service to ensure your pet is getting fresh meals In order for Eli's Organics to prosper, a SWOT analysis was conducted to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunity and threats. Strength Weaknesses Referral Service Organic ingredients Delivery Service Globalization distribution Supply and Demand + No advertisement Expensive Manufacturing Internal Opportunities Treats Profit gain/website online sales Free Shipping Support from PETA Larger delivery area Rising cost of materials Other Organic Co's Recalls + Rising cost of fuel External Positives Negatives Eli's Organics has established itself in the short two years in business with our organic ingredients, delivery services and loyal repeat customers. With our repeat customers, there is the word of mouth as well as our referral program. For every referral we receive for our delivery service, the referring customer will receive one free meal in their next delivery. My target customers are busy families and professionals. As lives get busier with growing families with children who have extracurricular activities and busy professionals working long hours, this takes the worry away from running to the pet store to pick up fresh organic meals. When choosing a location to set up Eli's Organics, I chose Corona Del Mar in California for several reasons. Even though Corona Del Mar is small in comparison to other neighboring beach towns I feel this little town has a lot to offer. I targeted an affluent area. The average house is over $2,000.000 with an average household income of $233,336.00 and an estimated 5804 households and an average of two pets per household. Eli's Organics home delivery service although fairly priced, it is more expensive than picking up food from our location. The general demographic population is 12,148 with a median age of 56.2. (Point2Homes 2020) Southern California is known for mild weather all year long which makes it a great location for dogs. The average high is around 67degrees with a nighttime average low is 57 degrees. (Liz Osborn 2020) and with such close proximity to beaches, dog parks and many hiking trails, Corona Del Mar makes this an ideal spot for active pet owners who know how important it is to make sure their pets live an active life. This also includes many pet friendly restaurants that offer patio seating. (Visit Newport Beach 2020) If you are blessed enough to live here, it comes with certain responsibilities and the most important one, is that you must acquire nothing but the best.
