NextPaw's SuperZoo Mission is Simple
At Superzoo 2022, we went to connect with pet brands and local retailers to provide free “Where to Buy” technology built to drive shoppers directly to a nearby store.
After 100's of conversations with store owners and manufacturer teams, how did we do?
Two Paws Up From Local Retailers & Brands
Local retailers are hungry for an all-in-one technology stack that’s built with the pet industry in mind. For them, implementing digital tools needs to be seamless, cost effective, and deliver on the promise to drive more sales.
Business owners and brands alike were interested to learn that NextPaw’s intuitive platform not only fits right into their existing workflow, but also boosts SEO and sends shoppers to their doors. Pet manufacturers learned they can get started with the industries #1 store locator solution that enables shoppers to find and buy directly from local pet retail stores on the manufacturer website. Pet retail stores were thrilled to learn about the new benefits now available to them and how to get started for FREE with NextPaw to earn their Verified Retailer Badge and Claimed Listing that connects them to the brands they sell in-store.

Announced during the annual SuperZoo Chairman’s reception, NextPaw has partnered with the World Pet Association to build a free industry-wide database of pet products to empower retailers and other technologies to have access to accurate product data consumers should trust to buy, across the various consumer facing sales channels that exist today.
"Traditional Store Locators Are Turning Shoppers Away"
NextPaw founder Brandon Swenson explains during his Wednesday show floor talk titled "How to Get More Sales from Pet Industry Brands" that store locators that exist today do not answer the questions a consumer has when looking to make a purchase decision.
Because of this, brands are actually sending their visitors back to the search engine insteaf of helping them find a nearby pet store to buy from. With nearly every seat filled, audience members watched live how a consumer can use this new store locator technology to not only see the products a nearby store carries, but how easy it is to take an action that leads to a sale without ever leaving the store locator solution that has been made freely available to every pet industry manufacturer thanks to the World Pet Association.
