Pet Supplies

Pet stores have pet owners as a general group or set of customers. However, more specific subgroups of targeted customers are present within that general group. Large pet store chains, such as Petsmart, target the larger general group and they have the revenue to do so. However, smaller pet stores choose to market to the targeted customers of the subgroups depending on their chosen specialty.

Health Conscious Customers

Customers that care about their own health and that of their pets is one targeted subgroup. These customers look for pet products that use natural ingredients and that do not contain much filler material. Quality is an important factor for them. They are, however, willing to pay more for products that are truly natural and healthy for their pets. These customers want the best food, shampoo, treats, health supplements and accessories -- especially those from recycled products or that are made from 100-percent natural sustainable materials are looked upon with favor.

Pet-specific Customers

Another targeted subgroup of customers are those that are looking for a specialty store catering to their type of pet. For example, pet bird enthusiasts will go to stores that cater to birds only and who employ workers who are knowledgeable about all things bird related. The larger pet stores cannot give those customers the same level of knowledge as specialty stores can. This subgroup of customers also wants what is best for their pet and they will seek out stores that cater to their special needs with specialty products geared just for them.

Thrifty Customers

Thrifty customers are part of another subgroup of targeted customers for pet stores. This type of customer is always on the lookout for the best price on their product. With so many pet stores selling the same items, they do not have far to look. Not only are brick and mortar stores included in their search, but online pet stores are also included. Quality is not much of an issue with this group, but price is very important. The lowest bidder gets their purchase.

Pampered-pets' Customers

Customers that pamper their pets are also a targeted subgroup of customers. These customers want the best that money can buy for their pets. Glamor is all important. They want to show the world that their pet is high class. Accessories and special furniture that caters to their pet's comfort level are in demand. Pet clothing is also important to for these customers. Outstanding pet items that show how individual their pet is are also sought after by this group.
