40 years of sector knowledge

For four days, stand 333 in hall 1 will be the home of the bulging Interzoo issues of the pet trade magazine and PET worldwide – the meeting place of the international pet supplies sector. Contacts from the editorial department, advertising marketing and sales will be on hand to deal with questions and suggestions from retailers and manufacturers. The provisional programme of the International Pet Conference, which takes place in Hamburg on 9 and 10 November, will also attract considerable interest (detailed report in this issue). Addresses at one’s fingertips The updated version of the trade directory “PET Fachhandel” (“Specialist PET Trade”) will be available. This comprehensive reference work contains portraits of approx. 50 of the most important PET central organisations, multiples, franchising groups and cooperatives. The addresses of around 3 700 outlets belonging to these organisations, together with opening dates, post codes and location maps make the directory an important tool for marketing, sales and field service. The latest version of the “PET Retailers in Europe” directory, likewise updated, contains portraits of approx. 120 of the most important PET head offices, chains, franchise operations and cooperative groups in 24 European countries. The directories are supplied in a print version and on CD-ROM. The data can also be incorporated into various software programmes. No less important as a reference work is the current “PET Buyer’s Guide”. Broken down into twelve product categories, it contains addresses and additional key data on international manufacturers of pet products, suppliers of live pets, shop fitters, service providers, associations and fair organising companies. The product categories featured are Aquariums, Terrariums, Birds, Dogs, Cats, Small Caged Animals, Pet Food, Pets (breeding and sales), Angling and Equestrian Sports, Garden, Store Design and Fittings, and Service. Birthday party Birthday celebrations will take place on the Dähne Verlag stand at 16.00 on the Saturday of the fair to mark the 40th anniversary of the company. It will be a traditional party, with cake, beer and pretzels – and will offer a great opportunity to exchange opinions and indulge in some sector gossip.
