The best selling pet products in October 2009.
October is usually a quiet month which is understandable considering christmas will soon be upon us and people are counting the pennies!! There were still plenty of people out there on the internet, purchasing plenty of designer products for their special pooches and kitties.
Here are our best selling items for October 2009;
1. The Lassie cabin dog bed. before October these beds were not the most popular on the website, but all of a sudden people have gained interest and started purchasing the official Lassie products. The quality of the bed reflects the price tag and you get what you pay for, a quality bed that will last for years. The best seller for October.
2. The Flexi Lead “dog lover” dog lead. Great value for money at £12.99. These limited edition dog leads are Genuine Flexi products. Flexi is a German manufacturer with a reputation for making the toughest dog leads in the world and yet again they haven’t disappointed with this product. A bargain.
3.The willow rectangular dog basket. A product which consistently appears in our best selling list every month. These beds look stunning and offer great value for money. Another appearance in the top 5 for scruffs.
4. Puppy Angel Stripy Heart Body Harness and Leash Set. Taken over from the Dear Dog range as the best selling harness on the website. The brown harness in particular is a best seller this month (must be a popular colour for autumn).
5. Pet Head Dirty Talk Deodorising Shampoo. Must be that time of year again!! Autumn is upon us and shampoo sales have increased tenfold. Pet head has been soooo popular this year, a fantastic product. There you have it, the best selling products in October.

Fantastic new range of Flexi Glamour leads.
Luxury Pet Department have added a new range of genuine flexi leads to their range, but these are flexi leads with a difference.
The new Flexi lead glam range adds a touch of much needed bling to the fairly subdued luxury dog lead market. There are 6 styles of Flexi leads available, all finished with unique Diamante detail and a high quality finish we would expect from Flexi. Packaging is stunning with each lead presented in its own velvet box with sliding draw.
The only downside is the cost. These leads will hit your wallet hard with prices starting from £79.99 rising to £139.99 for the heavenly glamour spider lead, but you do get an amazing lead for the money.
Flexi has also released two limited edition tatoo leads, these are much more affordable at £12.99 and will only be released in limited quantities.
To view the entire range of Flexi Glamour leads, visit our dog beds website and select the NEW Flexi leads category from the left hand side.

New EU Law means changes to pet food labeling.
A new law implemented by the EU could cost the pet industry over 10 Million pounds by 2010.
New regulation on the marketing and use of feed by the EU will come into force late 2009, this mean that manufacturers of will have 12 months to change all labels on their products.
What changes will need to be made?
Changes will be required to wording on the products including information and how the products are presented. This legislation has been bought into effect in order to standardise the labelling of pet foods across the EU.
Michael Bellingham, Chief Executive of the Pet food Manufacturers Association said “these new rules will have an impact on how cat and dog, plus from now on other small animal food is manufactured and marketed”.
Michael also warned that 12 months is not enough time to implement these changes with concerns over having to change outdated labels for new ones in such a short space of time.
The new regulation will insist on a product name and statutory declaration plus new headings will be required which include composition, additives and analytical constituents.

Increased sales during July thanks to an online marketing campaign.
July and August can be very quiet months in the pet industry. this is mainly because people are away on holiday or spending more time outdoors because the weather is so nice, but sales were up in July this year for the first time since the company was established.
Why is this the case? we can only put it down to the online marketing campaign. For the first time in our history we decided to get a 3rd party involved with promoting the business and so far it is paying dividends. We employed an SEO Consultant London to promote our website online and in under 3 weeks, they managed to get our website onto page 1 of Google for 3 major keywords in our industry.
I haven’t done the math properly yet but I believe that sales have increased by at least 40% since the optimisation work was completed, and the best thing is we have kept our age 1 positions for over 6 weeks now which is very promising indeed.
I have always been a bit of a sceptic when it comes to using SEO companies as we get phone calls every day from them promising “page 1 domination that will change your business overnight”. Because of this I decided to use a private consultant and so far this has definitely paid off by increasing the amount of new customers that use our website.
Let’s hope that August is just as good!!
