The size of a credit card, pet owners carry Pet Emergency cards in a wallet or purse as these are often checked when responders, emergency services and hospitals are looking for a point of contact should an emergency arise. An appointed contact for an owner's pet is filled in on the reverse of the card (images at top of listing) so that they can be contacted to care for an owner's pet. Pet owners very often see the value in this as if they're out and have an emergency then the card details allow a pet to be cared for and could ultimately save the pet's life.
I've been selling Pet Emergency cards for several years and I've sold them
- Online - Etsy Shop and Pet Business Website (I previously ran a large dog-walking/pet-sitting business in Northamptonshire)
- Car Boots - Never failed to sell
- Shops/Cafes/Hairdressers/Kennels - I have split margins and got others to sell for me in their businesses as it's one of the few low-cost impulse buy products with enough margin to do this and make a decent profit. I suggest between £1-£2 sale price and 50% split. Simply place cards with retailer and collect/restock every 2-4 weeks.
- Pet Charities - Small local cat/dog charities are always looking for additional income and a 50/50 split again is advisable.
- Facebook Page - I used to have a facebook page and used facebook ads to sell direct from my page. I also used the page to attract other sales in local facebook groups and gathered a group of local resellers from there too as I advertised that I was looking for resellers in the facebook groups. Mobile hairdressers, dog-walkers, cat-sitters are very often interested especially when offered a 50/50 split and the fact that it's a very portable (cards take up hardly any space) business and customers often tell their friends about the cards.
Why buy and try this business opportunity/Add-on income?
- It's Proven - Search Pet Emergency Card here on Ebay and you'll find similar products to mine selling for £2 (+p&p) and more!
- It's Fairly Unique - None of the people that acted as my resellers had been offered the product before and many of my customers buying the cards hadn't heard of them.
- The Perceived Value Is Very High - People love their pets! Holding a small card in a wallet or purse in case of an emergency could save the life of their pet.
- The Cost Is Low - The risk to you trying this is almost non-existent. I have already designed, tried and tested the product and can produce thousands in a week at a price that allows me to help others start their own venture at a ridiculously low price with a profit margin heavily weighed in their favour.
- The Market Is Huge - There are millions of pet owners in the UK and beyond. I moved from the midlands to the coast 5 years ago and as I've now retired only service a fairly small area. It was easy to keep the business after I moved and supplement my pension as there are pet owners everywhere.
- The Product Is Low Cost - Customers couldn't produce this product for themselves at this cost (or be bothered to) and at a £1-£2 price point it's not going to break a customer's budget and a good percentage of customers will buy more than one card (for a friend/family member).
- The Profit Margin Is Huge - Because I can produce 1000's of cards a week I can supply at a very, very low price that allows my resellers to make margins of between 900 and 2000% (more with multiple direct sales). You can bring in your own resellers and still make a huge profit and increase sales exponentially
- I'm Paying It Forward - I'm 58 years old, pretty much retired and know that their are a lot of people struggling to increase their income. This little moneymaker can pay a few bills for those that take the opportunity and there's very little competition in many of the methods of sale I mentioned earlier and anybody can realistically build a nice little business from this. I will also send you the graphics (jpegs) from this listing to your paypal e-mail address to help you advertise your venture online. I'll also keep this listing up for many years to ensure supply and guarantee not to increase the price of supply (except postage if necessary) and will add to this listing If I can add even more value to the product and your venture.
Thank you for looking, I hope that I've included enough information to take action and start your own simple, low-cost, profitable venture and I look forward to helping you in that endeavour.
