The Buzz about Global Pet Expo

 

What Exhibitors and Attendees have to say about Global Pet Expo:

 

“Global Pet Expo is the best show of the year that we do. Most of the retailers plan their planagrams around this show because they want to see all the new products that are here. Yesterday we wrote a couple of million dollars in orders. ” 

Mark Morrison, President

M2Pets (Exhibitor)

Stamford, CT

 


 

“Being at Global Pet Expo will absolutely help my business.  I love coming here networking with everybody, making new purchases, seeing the new items.  The different products I found will make my boutique a little different from everywhere else.”

Kristi Schroeder, Owner

The Puppy Party Place (attendee)

Arlington Heights, IL 

 

 


 

“This is our first show as we just launched our product. We’ve been wonderfully surprised.  Yesterday and today have been non-stop in our booth. We’ve met amazing people and made wonderful contacts, great networking leads with distributors and international. It’s what we needed.”

 

“It’s wonderful. Even though we’re in the back row in the corner people are coming to find us.  Being in the new product showcase, participating in the fashion show and in the media room really helped.”

Michal Chesal

Pet Teek LLC (Exhibitor)

Hollywood, FL

 


“As a pet lifestyle expert and writer I need to know about all the latest trends, styles and fashions as they develop. Global Pet Expo provides me with a wonderful “one-stop shopping opportunity” to really get know what’s out there. It’s also a great place to meet and network with the movers and shakers in the pet industry.”
Sandy Robins 
Writer for MSNBC.com, DogCentral, Dog Fancy, Modern Dog and Cat Fancy
 


“I came to see what’s new and products I’ve seen in catalogues. I’m coming back tomorrow to talk to some suppliers I met here today.  It’s definitely worth my time to be here.”

Raymond Newlan, Owner

Planeta Pez (retail fish store)

San Diego, California 

 


 

“Global Pet Expo is the largest pet show of the calendar year. It’s very important to be here because it gives you an opportunity to meet different kinds of people, retailers and distributors, and all across the board.”

Laurie Haith

Overseas Marketing-Aquatic Business Division

Uni-President Enterprises Corp. (Exhibitor)

Taiwan

 

 


“Coming here helps me grow my business. We have aquarium products and this year I’m here to check out dog and cat products for the first time this.  GPE makes it easier and cheaper to see all the new products because everything is in one place.”

Rene Ramos Villarreal, Director of Sales

Comercializadora HobbyPet, S.A. de C.V. (attendee)

Monterrey, Mexico

 


 

“Global Pet Expo absolutely met our expectations.  We found vendors we’re going to use and we already know that next year we’ll be in Orlando.”

Carl Pawlik, Marketing

Pawlik Products LLC (attendee)

Madison, WI 

 

 


 

 

“I found two new companies to represent.  Every time we come we find something new. It makes the trip worthwhile.”

Michael Hasbani, General Manager

Middle East Kennel Club (attendee)

Lebanon

 


 

“I’m looking for what’s new for the year and GPE keeps us up to date on what’s out there. A lot of things I’ve seen are not even ready to ship yet.   You get a preview of what’s going to be available.”

 

“It’s a good place to interact … we have a hundred-plus vendors that are here so it’s good to touch base with them.  They’re all in one place here.”

Terry Pomietlarz, Buyer

Agway Dealer Network (attendee)

Westfield, MA

 


 

“The Global Pet Expo is the biggest trade show in the industry. My staff and I attend to keep up on the most recent trends, see the best new products of the year, and speak to the people behind the businesses. Tails pet magazines cover everything from health and wellness to style and fashion, and we always get the inside scoop at the APPA show.”

Janice Brown

Tails Media Group
