🏆 Jessica Schlosser’s, of Lizzi and Rocco’s, creative approach to community engagement, including a unique annual team potluck (complete with products they sell in their store) and fun seasonal enrichment boxes.
🏆 Brittany Schlup’s, of Premium Pets- Natural Pet Market, journey to success through lots of strategic planning and creative events (like taking full advantage of the “Christmas in July” theme to boost slower months!)
🏆 What ALL of these businesses (and past winners) have in common when it comes to what really makes a pet business standout.
🏆 How YOU can turn your pet business into an award-winning enterprise!
