Nutri-Source Drops Chewy.com

I have a real interest in the world of online pet supply sales.  As a brick and mortar store pet store owner, I have watched with concern as online sales have continued to grow.  I do have a long term vision of success for our store but the next few years could be rocky.  This news gives me some hope that there are other companies realizing that it isn’t going to work to try to get all the business.  Sometimes it is best to do better with a smaller market.  Everyone is happier.

Shameless plug: We carry Nutri-Source dogfood.

Quote from the Press release linked below.

“While e-commerce sales have grown significantly over the past few years and will continue to grow – and no company can ignore this channel – it is our strong intent to continue with our current marketing plan focused on the independent specialty retailers and family owned businesses.  In line with this we have made the decision to part ways with Chewy at this time”

World Record Bird

This is a cute article on the bird that holds the world record for the most words. Here is a clip.
“on Christmas morning, 1993 Puck was entertaining himself on the coffee table in the living room when Camille and her husband heard him say: “It’s Christmas. That’s what’s happening. That’s what it’s all about. I love Pucky. I love everyone.”

Most Common Phrase

“I had no idea you had so much in this store!”
 
This has to be the most often repeated phrase by new customers.  I think that the outside of our store is a bit lackluster and dull.  That is not where the action is.  Come on inside and see the 5 cockatiels chirp at you or pet the baby bunnies.  We have a little room in the back where various reptiles hang out.
