Petz launches imported marketplace is the latest news in the pet products and services market. The company announced a week ago the new venture that aims to win new customers in 2021.
Petz , for those who don't know, is a pet shop chain founded in 2002 by businessman Sérgio Zimerman. It currently has 136 stores in 15 Brazilian states. It also has 93 veterinary centers. In addition, it has an online store and now also a marketplace.
According to information released by the Istoé and Estadão portal, Petz did not suffer the impact of the Covid-19 crisis because it operates in an area that the government considers an essential service. In this way, it was able to invest in a new project that was unprecedented in the sector.
PETZ LAUNCHES IMPORTED MARKETPLACE
By launching a marketplace of exclusive imported products, Petz becomes a pioneer in this type of activity. According to Zimerman, the company has an expanded view of this segment, as it has an eye on the best in the European and American markets.
The Petz marketplace starts with 1 products. However, that number is expected to grow to up to 12 by the end of the year. Among the products are clothes, toys and hygiene accessories for pets. In addition, electronic toys and even robots will also be on sale.
To support the project, Petz partnered with the Uruguayan startup Nocnoc . This company, in turn, operates in product importation, currency conversion, tax payment, and especially in delivery logistics.
With Nocnoc, Petz mainly aims to reduce delivery times that normally range from 40 to 90 days to a maximum of 30 days. Thus, in addition to offering differentiated products, the petshop network wants to surprise customers with more agile deliveries.
Finally, it is important to say that Petz opened 28 new physical stores in 2020, which is an annual record for the brand. In 2021, the company plans to open 30 new stores. In future years, the idea is to maintain growth until it reaches all Brazilian states.
