Global Pet Expo – Orlando FL March 16-18, 2011
On the Road with MODA: Global Pet Expo – Orlando, FL March 16-18, 2011
I was at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando this past week with our client America’s VetDogs® to help launch our new line of VetDogs® Dog Toys by Vo-Toys and continue our support of VetDogs® Dog Treats by Bil-Jac!
We put together a PR plan that attracted much attention having been featured in the Pet Expo Daily as a “Best in Show” brand! We were also covered by local media Fox News for their 5 o’clock Wednesday broadcast and many other planned pieces by pet trade journals and a possible segment on a nationally broadcast morning show…stay tuned!
The reception from retailers was beyond our expectations. We anticipate the America’s VetDogs® brand to secure strong placement across multiple channels of retail.
All in all the show proved to be a major success. MODA’s belief in the VetDogs® brand as a viable license is taking shape nicely.
Can’t wait to report on the next licensee to join the VetDogs® family!

FMI 2010
FMI May 2010
I recently attended the FMI 2010 Show (Food Marketing Institute) in Las Vegas, the largest and most comprehensive food industry event in North America. The show was touted as a big success with attendance up and most attendees full of optimism.
People were talking about brand loyalty being critical to food retail and the importance private label store brands have in the market especially when shoppers have to make their grocery dollars go farther. In fact, I was informed that 97% of shoppers will purchase the same amount or more private brands in the grocery store in 2010 / 2011. These facts are real and add a sense of panic to brand owners and licensees who are vying for shelf space.
Competing with other brands is one thing but competing with your retailer is another and brand owners are looking for solutions that will maintain and increase their marketshare. There is no easy solution here but it seemed that product differentiation, creativity, customer service and speed to market was the buzz coming out of the show. Being a step ahead of the retailer by offering something unique that fills consumers’ wants and desires will help brand owners maintain brand loyalty and hopefully increase marketshare.
MODA was at the show launching a line of licensed America’s VetDogs® dog treats by Bil-Jac — to much success. Attendees seemed to really understand that by purchasing a package of America’s VetDogs® dog treats they were giving back to an amazing organization that supports our American disabled veterans and heroes (differentiation) by providing soldiers with service dogs that allow them to re-enter domestic life with dignity and a sense of purpose (unique). Bil-Jac also stepped up to the plate and saw the immediate opportunity by landing a national retailer to roll-out the VetDogs® dog treats in August 2010 (speed to market).
