The Evolution of Dog Product Marketing from Shabby to Chic
The pet product industry is booming like never before and the way that dog product marketing is being approached is more tailored to a refined lifestyle instead of being rather shabby in style. According to the American Pet Products Association, the 2013 calendar year is estimated to have $55.53 billion in revenue from various pet products across the United States alone. This isn’t being taken lightly by savvy designers that are creating products not only for the dog’s enjoyment, but also the owner who is sharing their space with a furry friend.
The Forma Italia ‘Suite’ furniture series consists of beautifully crafted daybeds that are designed for cats or dogs and made-to-order. The contemporary silhouette of the bed makes it look like a mod piece of furniture stylish enough for an urban condo, yet the products only come in doggie sizing. It’s this interesting style of niche production companies that are catering to discerning pet owners that indeed want to incorporate them into their busy lives, but not give up their décor style in the process. Regardless of how the economy is fairing, dog product marketing has remained a lucrative industry for several years and doesn’t show signs of slowing.
