Astro Retailers Set a New Record for Astro Offers

Our greatest goal at Astro is to entice pet owners to shop locally with our neighborhood retailers. Astro Offers originated out of this goal. We are pleased to say that our brand partners helped to contribute to a record year for Astro Offers - and excited to say that our retailers came out as the big winners!

Lately, we've been reporting to you that our participating retailers have broken new redemption records for Offers month after month. In November, we observed a more extraordinary redemption record during Black Friday weekend alone than we've seen during former record-breaking months!

So what does this mean for our retailers? For one, it means our retailers saw an influx of customers visiting their stores to benefit from these deals. We are so stoked that pet owners responded positively to the campaigns our retailers sent via our Marketing Suite, and they chose to shop locally!

Secondly, customers chose to buy into these Offers - purchasing both items they were familiar with along with new products they had never tried before. This is the gift that keeps on giving. Pet owners who are introduced to a new product via an Offer are more likely to continue to purchase that product for months after, even if it is no longer on special.

Finally, retailers were able to see incredible returns on a free platform already included with their Astro subscription! That's right, Astro Offers is a free platform for our retailers. Our brand partners provide the deals. Astro delivers the program, including automated reporting, printable shelf-talkers, and passive marketing with the Astro Mobile App and My Astro Webpage. All our retailers need to do is enroll and redeem! It's that simple.

Are you new to Offers and want to learn more? Join us on Thursdays at 2:00 PM EST for a quick Webinar and Q&A on the topic. Or you can check out a past webinar recording on our YouTube Channel. We also have an extensive section of our Knowledge Base dedicated to navigating and utilizing Offers.

Here's an idea for a New Year's Resolution you can stick to! Now is the time to start enrolling in Astro Offers. Try one, try two - dip your toe into that water! You got this!
