Product
manufacturer and distributor Long Paws has been making hay while the sun shines
as well as when it rains. Over the
summer season, Long Paws has seen strong growth in sales of both their
stainless steel Pet Water Bottles as well as their MacPAWS packable dog raincoats.
According to Elan Mansur, director of
Long Paws, “the bottles are a year round necessity, but we see a clear upturn
during the hotter periods. The raincoats
however, seem to sell consistently all year round, but they do see spurts every
time the skies open.”
Mansur
also attributes the recent growth in sales to having exhibited for the second
time at the Interzoo pet trade exhibition in Nuremberg in May 2014. According to Mansur, even though Interzoo seemed
to be less active than it was in 2012, it was still a very successful show for them.
Mansur explains “Since Interzoo 2014, in addition to new trade clients, we have
added distributors in Italy, Poland, and France and received new orders from
our existing distributors and wholesalers in Switzerland, Austria, and the UK”. Long Paws is also in discussions with a
number of other international distributors who are interested in selling the
Long Paws range from 2015.
When asked
about Interzoo 2014, Mansur said he found this year’s show to be quieter than
2012. He also mentioned that feedback
they had received from several of the more established exhibitors was that this
year’s show was even more dominated by the major companies than previous years. Many of the smaller companies found
themselves drowned out. While 2012 saw
more visitors on their stand and busier aisles than 2014, the business they
have already generated out of Interzoo 2014 has resulted in a significant upturn
in sales, with strong potential for even larger growth in the coming months.”
In
addition to their Pet Water Bottles and dog pack-a-macs, Long Paws is the
exclusive distributor of the Hennessy & Sons range of companion accessories,
and also distributes a range of other accessories for you and your dog. As for the future, Long Paws is busy developing
a new range of products. “We are very
excited about what’s coming up and look forward to sharing the news of our pending
product launches in the near future.”
The Long Paws range of products can be found on their website www.longpaws.co.uk.
Kind regards
