POS System for Pet Store Owners
According to the latest statistics, over 56% of total population in US and Canada are pet owners (NPD Group, Inc.). Such large marketplace creates unique opportunity for pet food stores servicing customers - equally in large cities and small communities.
However, it is a competitive marketplace. One of the biggest concerns for a pet store owner is customer loyalty. Customers appreciate professional advice, care and additional service they receive in the store, but most they are interested in saving money. Therefore, various
loyalty programs (i.e. "Buy 10 bags get 1 free") as a part of Pet Store POS are not only commonplace, but also often supported by the pet food manufacturers.
Pet store POS requirements:
Normally, a store proprietor looks for the following features in a Pet Store POS system:
- The pet store POS system must be affordable
