The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) is continuing its nationwide competition inviting UK pet retailers to revel in the spring atmosphere by showcasing eye-catching shop windows across the country.
Now in its second year, retailers are encouraged to create vibrant seasonal displays, preferably incorporating items from participating prize-supporting manufacturers.
Nigel Baker, PIF CEO, said: “Paws in Spring celebrates the innovation and commitment of UK pet retailers. It also reflects PIF’s commitment to pet retail and our aim to raise the profile of high street pet retailers who face increasing competition from online and grocery outlets.”
The competition prize fund has been supported by various participating manufacturers, with the top three retailers receiving the following:
• 1st place: £3,000 RRP plus exclusive trade discounts
• 2nd place: £1,000+ RRP plus exclusive trade discounts
• 3rd place: £500 RRP plus exclusive trade discounts
Participating manufacturers include Baker & Bray, Betty Miller, Canny Co, Cobbydog, Dot Dot Pet, Durham Animal Feeds, Landguth, Milla & Max, Natures Menu, Nutriment, Pup & Kit, Tug-E-Nuff, Woof & Brew, Scamp & Paw and Neerdog.
Retailers have been asked to submit their entries before Friday 27 March, with winners set to be announced on Thursday 16 April.
