The pet food delivery business is a golden opportunity. It is a fast growing opportunity.
I'll show you how to get started.
This venture takes way less effort to get in to business and to achieve profitability.
The pet food business is a major player in the U.S. economy. According to the American Pet Products Association , 71.4 million homes own a pet (62% of all U.S. households) with 93.6 million cats and 77.7 million dogs. Total pet industry expenditures exceeded $45.5 Billion.
Actual pet food sales were $17.56 Billion. Annually, each pet household spends $229 on dog food and $203 on cat food. Add another $104 for dogie treats and toys and $56 for cat treats and toys.
In short, the pet food delivery business is wide open for an enterprising entrepreneur!
If you have a pet, then you know we treat them as fully part of our family. Nothing is to good for them.
In this fast-paced world, time available for shopping traditional stores is under immense pressure.
The grocery delivery business and Internet shopping are growing by leaps and bounds.
Here are the factors:
Survey after survey show Americans, young and older, are willing to pay more for convenience.
For example, grocery delivery firms seldom discount food items plus, they add a delivery charge.
And, people are willing to pay for this convenience. The pet food delivery business is alive and well.
The independent business model for starting a pet food delivery service seems to be spreading quickly across the country.
Essentially, only basic business skills, the ability to lift large bags, a mobile phone, a computer and a dependable van and working capital of $400 to $500 are required.
Ordered bulk product may be stored in your garage or leased space to get started.
In fact some existing pet food delivery businesses lease a large van, stock it with preferred products and conduct most of their business as they travel their community taking orders and delivering product.
This taxi-like service seems to work very well.
Please don't limit your pet food ideas to only food items.
Pet toys, food bowls, place mats (for under the food bowls), pet treats and pet litter may also contribute to solid sales.
Natural pet foods also fit into this increasing sales category.

However, in order to improve the success of your independent pet food delivery business opportunity, the following are
Low Cost Marketing Ideas
People search the Internet all the time seeking answers to their questions.
They search for a local "pet food delivery business" or any "pet food home delivery."
If you're not visible on the Internet, then you’re throwing golden sales opportunities away. It's as simple as that.
People seldom use the Yellow Pages. Besides their ads cost too much.
CAUTION: Having a relative, friend or yourself build a website without knowledge of “business” website building will be a huge mistake.
Your site may look good and you'll be happy. However, it will not be a "business" website and never be found.
If you are not on page 1 or page 2 of the search engine, you are wasting your time and money, plus you're full of false hopes.
Nearly 99% of all websites are lucky if they are ever found.
I recommend you consider using the proven methodology of a company called Solo Build It (SBI). This is who I used to build this website...and you found me!
SBI is taught in over 30 colleges and universities because it works! In addition, over 40,000 entrepreneurs use SBI. It's far worth the time to explore.
