The Advantage of Manufacuring in America

Pet boutiques influenced the design of our new, Legally Pink pet beds. And, because we manufacture our products in America, we were able to bring the line to market in less than three weeks.

August 13, 2004 -- Omaha, NE: Dick Mueller, co-owner of The Persnickety Pet (TPP), announced today that when pet boutiques speak, The Persnickety Pet listens. And because it makes its products in the USA, TPP is able to respond faster when new ideas appear. "Sensitivity to the customers' wants and needs, producing your products close to home and moving fast are the keys", said Mueller.

When Hal (Heavy Petting Boutique, West Hollywood, CA) and Mary Alexander (Mrs. Bones Pet Boutique, Virginia Beach, VA) both said "Pink is hot. Make Pink Pet Tents and they will sell", TPP was listening. Said Mueller, "If the West coast and East coast both agree that pink is hot, how
can we ignore that here in the heartland?"

With both its design and production facilities in Omaha, TPP was able to bring "Legally Pink" Pet Tents to market in record time. Just three weeks after hearing these comments from two of its customers, TPP is already shipping Legally Pink Pet Tents to boutiques nationwide. "Just try to do that if you are making your products in China", said Mueller.

Legally Pink (LP) Pet Tents are available in three styles: LP Cottage, LP Townhouse and LP Mansion. Retailing at $29.95, $89.95 and $159.95, thay feature the same uniqueness of style and quality of construction that the company's regular line offers. Whereas the regular line was designed to blend in with home decores, however, Legally Pink tents make a somewhat brighter, bolder and sassier fashion statement.

"We are indebted to Hal and Mary for their astute, market awareness. They talk to customers every day and that makes them the best source for information about what's new and hot. And", Mueller said, "when you do get an idea it's nice to be able to walk into the next room and make it happen. That's why making our products in the USA makes sense to us."
