OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) is known for its high
quality, innovative products that improve the health, safety, comfort and
well-being of pets. It’s a company driven to differentiate itself by employing
the latest technology. Now, OurPet’s Company is demonstrating its marketing
savvy with its recent launch of a Direct Response Television (DRTV) campaign in
conjunction with AsSeenOnTV.pro (http://dtn.fm/fP4ep).
Most of us are familiar with DRTV, which offers viewers the
opportunity to purchase from a commercial, through the late-night,
early-morning programming known as the infomercial, the long-form versions of
which seem to go on and on about the latest widget you must have. It could be a
Pet Rock or perhaps a Pocket Hose. Such products have given DRTV unsavory
associations. However, the genre has since reinvented itself. Its main
objective is no longer harvesting direct sales. DRTV campaigns are now mostly
employed to test products and messaging against targeted consumer segments.
More importantly, DRTV aims to provide fodder to get nationwide retailers like
Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), Target (NYSE: TGT), Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and others to
take a bite. As Priceonomics (http://dtn.fm/vK2fv) puts it, ‘DRTV viewers today
are the beta audience for Wal-Mart shoppers tomorrow’. ‘Most of today’s
infomercials… aren’t necessarily designed to sell products at all; they’re
designed to test the salability of those products in a mass-market environment
like Wal-Mart’.
DRTV campaigns that get mass retailers to sign distribution
contracts have proved to be formidable marketing strategies resulting in
astoundingly successful products and product lines. ProActiv, a skin care line,
brings in over a billion dollars in revenue a year, according to Mental Floss
(http://dtn.fm/2aKUy). PedEgg, which scrapes your heel to remove calluses, has
sold $450 million since launch, and the George Foreman Grill brings in $202
million in annual revenues. Many DRTV promotions are branded with the
AsSeenOnTV logo, which ‘is a sort of informal trade affiliation and open-source
brand mark representing major DRTV brands in the retail business’.
Wider distribution may be the catalyst that takes OurPet’s
Company’s business to the next level. The company has been growing at a rate 50
percent higher than the industry. Data provided by the American Pet Products
Association (APPA) (http://dtn.fm/1yZH3) indicates that total U.S. pet industry
expenditures rose, at a CAGR of 4.44 percent, from $48.35 billion in 2010 to
$60.25 billion in 2015. During the same period, OurPet’s Company’s net revenues
went from $17.1 million (2010) to $23.9 million (2015), increasing at a CAGR of
6.86 percent.
Some of the products likely to charm those late night
somnambulists include the OurPets® Catty Whack®, an unpredictable game of hide
and seek designed for cats of all ages, which was first introduced in 2015. The
introduction of the OurPets® Catty Whack® actually resulted in the genesis of
the Intelligent Pet Care® line of products, which offers ‘the application of
Blue Tooth and Wi-Fi to improve the connectivity between humans and pets’. The
line includes the Intelligent Pet Care® Feeder, Waterer and Intelligent Litter
Box, all of which allow pet owners to monitor their pet’s behavior through the
IntelligentPetLink® smartphone app, downloadable from the Apple app store and
Google Play.
