Target's latest collaboration is going to the dogs - and cats! The retail giant has partnered with six social media pet influencers for its first exclusive collection for pets, called The Cuddle Collab. This innovative approach showcases Target's ability to tap into current trends, recognizing both the power of creator culture and the importance of pets to their customers. With 70% of Target shoppers owning furry friends, this collection of over 180 items ranging from essentials to matching human-pet accessories is sure to resonate. What's particularly intriguing is Target's marketing strategy for this launch. They're producing a five-part social series called "The Pets of Tarjay," mimicking reality TV tropes, and creating live commentary videos with creators. This content-focused approach, along with national ads and strategic OOH placements, demonstrates Target's commitment to providing entertaining, lighthearted content to consumers. It's a clever way to engage audiences and bring some joy during challenging times, while also showcasing their new pet-focused product line.

It's amazing to see our growth strategy working at Hey Pawfriends — we're tracking these milestones closely to ensure sustainable growth with a marketplace model. I'd love to share some learnings from the process too: 1️⃣ Be genuine and build a community. → From day 1, we wanted all of our users (including customers and pet influencers) to feel personable when they speak to us. → It is our intention to be genuine and transparent, so that trust in the platform can be accelerated. 2️⃣ Create value. → Beyond the transactions happening on the platform, we're communicating clearly that Hey Pawfriends is the place where we grow and learn together. → We've started to put out educational content to pet influencers, and the goal is to build a group of strong content creators. We'll start doing the same for pet brands too. 3️⃣ Generating new users in the industry. → One common feedback we've received about the pet influencers is that, unlike the rapidly growing pet care industry, it's niche and small. → We agreed, but we know there's a correlation between both, so we got to work. We've started to normalise the term "pet influencers" and increase awareness of it as a potential source of collaboration opportunities and even income. → As a result, we noticed pet owners started creating social media accounts for their pets and joined us. This will ensure we keep growing the number of pet influencers rather than hitting the ceiling. 4️⃣ Founder-led engagement. → As uncomfortable as I am being in front of the camera, it helped to escalate the trust level of our users to Hey Pawfriends by putting a face on it. How about some fun facts? 💡A handful of human influencers registered on our platform! → Unfortunately, our focus is on pet influencers at the moment. Nevertheless, we'll keep observing this. 💡We've advertised for non-pet category products too! → >50% of Malaysians own a pet. Pet owners are not exclusive from other consumers - there's an overlapping segment. → Non-pet brands could start thinking about crafting pet-focused solutions or strategising a marketing angle for pet owners. 💡Expanding our efforts to other markets. → The plan was to launch and stabilise in Malaysia before we consider other markets. → However, life doesn't always go according to plan. 😉 A few brands we are working with have expressed interest in pet influencer marketing in other markets; we've started working on it, and will launch a cross-market feature on our platform soon! → It goes without saying, that we'll work on balancing the efforts between growth and sustainability. These all, and we've just launched in less than a month! I'm so pumped to see what's coming up for Hey Pawfriends. 😊 Are you looking to boost your pet brand through authentic word-of-mouth? ✅ Start your 60-day free trial: www.heypawfriends.com ✅ Schedule a 30-minute call with us to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gMd7DWP5
