A Pet Pro’s Holiday Playbook: Tips to Spark Joy (and Sales!) This Season

Simple, festive strategies to grow your sales, delight your clients, and make this holiday season your best one yet.

The holidays are one of the biggest opportunities for Pet Pros to drive sales, strengthen customer relationships, and make the season brighter for pets and their people. Pet parents are spending more than ever on gifts, treats, and cozy comforts — making it the perfect time to highlight your expertise and boost your business.

As pet parents spend more on gifts and cozy comforts this time of year, it’s the perfect moment to highlight your expertise and make it easy for them to shop small, shop local, and shop through your ShopDot storefront.

Ready to make the most of the holiday season? Here are a few simple ways to promote your ShopDot Pet storefront, connect with your clients, and turn festive cheer into sales — all while sharing the products you love most.

💌 1. Send a Holiday Email Campaign to Your Clients

A festive email is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your ShopDot storefront. Here’s how to make it pop:

  • Start with cheer: Use a warm, friendly subject line like “Paw-some Gifts for Your Furry Friends 🎁” or “Holiday Must-Haves for Cozy Pets.”

  • Show off your curation: Highlight a few of your favorite items from your ShopDot storefront (like the ones below). Create a collection called “My Holiday Favorites”

  • Include a clear call-to-action: Add a button that says “Shop My Storefront” or “Get Your Pet’s Holiday Favorites.”

✨ Pro tip: Include a festive photo of your shop or your pet “assistant” in the email for a personal touch!

Here is an example email to send to your clients:
