PetHub Wows Retailers at HH Backer Christmas Trade Show
Seattle, Wash. – October 18, 2011: PetHub, Inc. a software company focused on creating comprehensive pet safety solutions, is pleased to announce its selection as the silver medal winner in Pet Age Magazine’s 13th Annual Retailer Select contest.
The contest, held as part of the 45th Annual HH Backer Pet Industry Christmas Trade Show, highlighted hundreds of innovative pet products; from holistic pet foods, to aquatic tanks and accessories, to designer clothes and carriers. Retailers, primarily pet store owners and managers, evaluated the products and voted for their favorites.
“The HH Backer event came at the perfect time for us,” explained Tom Arnold, PetHub Founder and CEO. “After a year of consumer and industry interaction and feedback, the key elements of our unique concept are in place and really catching on.”
Retailers at the event noted that PetHub’s GPS Location Service, in particular, would resonate with many of their customers. The service, which sends a map pinpointing the pet’s location when its Quick Response code (“QR code”) ID tag is scanned, is included as part of PetHub’s Silver-level subscription.
The HH Backer Pet Industry Christmas Trade Show and Educational Conference is one of the nation’s largest pet trade shows. The three-day event included over 700 exhibitors, in close to 1,100 booths.
