Global Pet Expo 2022

Astro Loyalty is stoked for the opportunity to attend Global Pet Expo this month. We're kicking it up a notch this year and plan to announce something truly special for our Neighborhood Pet Shop Partners. No spoilers! 

Stop by our Booth #709 to meet the team and find out more. Bonus! We have some extra special new swag this year. You won't be disappointed - this is a big one!

 

Upcoming Astro Webinars

We now have two exciting Webinar Series to offer to both our Retailers and Vendor Partners. Both Retailers and Vendors are invited to attend our Astro Marketing Deep Dive Series. We've also created a special series for our Vendor Partners titled Astro Vendor Success Series

 

Astro Marketing Deep Dive Series

This series started as a way to give our Marketing Suite Subscribers special access to our Marketing Team so they could witness the elevated features of our suite and ask questions. Our Vendor Partners were then invited to attend so they could better understand how their Astro Program Assets were being utilized by their retailers. We save all recordings of past webinars from this series and post them to our YouTube Channel under the Playlist "Astro Marketing Suite Deep Dives".

March 2022 Astro Marketing Deep Dive Series!

March 09: Let's Talk Merchandising! LIVE

This is one of my favorite topics since this was my main gig when I was working in a local pet shop in my neighborhood. In this webinar, we are going to go over all of the FREE assets available to all of our retailers such as; Frequent Buyer Shelf Talkers, Astro Offers Shelf Talkers, and the Astro Media Kit. All of these free assets now have NEW QR Codes that will take your customers directly to the version of the Free Astro Mobile App compatible with their phone (Apple or Android). 

I'll also be featuring several of our Brand Partners who have taken the initiative to add additional Assets to their Brand Media accessible to retailers subscribed to our Marketing Suite.

What are some of the cool things your peers are doing to reward loyalty at their stores? This webinar will be in the format of a discussion, and hopefully a revelation of some new and exciting things to come in the world of local loyalty!

Sharing The Love Highlights

Astro Retailers Sharing The Love in their Neighborhoods.

We love seeing Adoption Stories related to Sharing The Love on our social pages. We'd like to thank our retailers who take the time to tag us in these posts so we can celebrate these happy endings with you and your new pet owners!

 

Check out these heartwarming posts on the Community and Tagged sections of our Facebook and Instagram pages - or follow #AstroSharingTheLove Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

 

Mississippi Mutts in Girardeau, MO has been leading the pack when it comes to sharing their new customers' adoption stories. We've never missed a happy moment and we are grateful for it.

 

We love to see our Neighborhood Retailers step up to help their local shelters when they see a dire need. For Healthy Pets in Montgomery, AL did just that last month in an effort to help Lee County Humane Society clear the shelters. Sharing The Love is all about local pet shops supporting rescue in their community and helping to ensure those adopted pets are cared for holistically in the years to come. For Healthy Pets demonstrated this beautifully.

 

 

Our neighborhood pet shops and vendors are the heart and soul of Sharing The Love. Sharing The Love is free for both Astro Pet Shops and Astro Brand Partners to participate in. Learn more about how you can start Sharing The Love in your community here.
