Episode 92 - Neighborhood Pet Store Day: How Indies Are Beating Black Friday
Description
In this episode of The Pet Shop Girls podcast, Carly and Sherry dive into Neighborhood Pet Store Day — a growing nationwide event that gives independent retailers the spotlight. While big box stores chase Black Friday discounts, indie shops are proving they can win with community, creativity, and customer connection.
The Pet Shop Girls share real-world strategies to make the most of this special day, from planning irresistible promotions to collaborating with local businesses. They emphasize why experience matters more than markdowns, and how indie stores can turn Neighborhood Pet Store Day into their own version of Black Friday — with better results and happier customers.
The episode also marks the launch of their new Substack community, The Pet Shop Girls: Off the Record — where indie pet pros can access exclusive resources, industry playbooks, and candid behind-the-scenes insights.
