Champion of My Heart Market Niche
The pet market boasts some 47.7 billion in spending per year. And, everyone in the industry knows it’s the women in the family making the vast majority of product and service purchase decisions.
(By saying that, we mean no offense to the small, active group of men in the Champion of My Heart community. It’s just that statistically speaking, we know buying habits.)
Thanks to active readers and the real relationships formed, we understand where our community fits in the pet market as a whole — the top 20% (if not top 2%) … easily. Champion of My Heart readers are indeed the minority of dog owners who likely bring 80% of the spending and stability into the pet market.
