BirdStuff
And as if that wasn't enough..in August of 2008 we were thrilled to be chosen by Pet Product News, the leading trade publication in the pet industry, as one of the top dozen pet stores (all pets) in the US and Canada! birdStuff was chosen from among hundreds of applicants in a competition that scrutinized items such as best customer service, best promotions, best merchandising, community service, employee training, and many other criteria. This is a great honor because it means recognition from peers, manufacturers, marketers, and by reputation. The press release for this follows, and a full story on birdStuff will be featured in the magazine's November issue which we will share with you.

Pet Product News International® Honors
birdStuff with a Retailer of the Year Runner-Up Award
Irvine, Calif. – In its annual contest to find the best pet industry retailer, Pet Product News International, the leading monthly trade newsmagazine covering the issues and trends affecting all sectors of the professional pet industry, announced that birdStuff received one of the runner-up awards in its 2008-2009 Retailer of the Year contest.
Pet Product News International will profile the retailer in the November issue of the magazine. Runners-up are granted a seat to serve on the Pet Product News International Retail Advisory Board as part of the honor.
BirdStuff is located in Orange, Calif., and its owner, Donna Garrou, has more than 25 years’ experience keeping all species of birds and a strong marketing and product design background. The shop was recently voted by
customers of Bird Talk magazine as one of the top 12 bird stores in the nation. The business does not sell birds, just bird products and gifts, but does offer grooming and boarding services. We recognize Garrou and birdStuff for successfully educating the bird-loving community.
The Retailer of the Year Awards were created 12 years ago to recognize retail excellence in the pet industry. Candidates are initially selected from surveys distributed to retailers via the magazine and BowTie Inc.’s Retailer Sales force. Retailers are then reviewed and evaluated by a panel of Pet Product News International staff members on such criteria as employee training practices, promotion of companion animals and pet adoptions, involvement with professional and service organizations, innovative promotion, effective strategies in the marketplace, community impact and industry impact. This year there were almost 200 applicants for the award.
The Retailer of the Year contest is sponsored this year by World Wide Pet Industry Assn., the oldest pet industry trade association and sponsor of the annual SuperZoo trade show in Las Vegas.
