BabelBark Launches BizBark Empowering Local Businesses to Connect Directly to Pet Owners

NEWTON, Mass., March 04, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BabelBark, Inc., a pet-related software developer, announces the commercial launch of BizBark Pro, the only digital software platform designed to help small pet business owners, including pet stores, boarders, groomers, trainers and shelters, successfully manage and grow their businesses.

Today, more than 125,000 pet groomers, boarders, dog walkers and trainers are competing for the $8 billion in revenue forecasted for 2019. These and other pet-related services are growing at a rate of 5.3 percent a year, causing many small, local businesses to struggle to compete against the large big-box stores that now offer these profitable services. These large retailers also have significant marketing budgets, that are hard to compete with, to keep their brand top of mind with consumers and draw traffic to their stores.

But there is good news for the small business owner. The largest demographic ownership of pets are millennial pet parents, who prefer to shop locally and are incredibly tech savvy. This generation of pet owner wants everything for their pet at their fingertips.

To assist small business owners, BabelBark has commercially released BizBark, a revolutionary new platform that connects local businesses directly to pet owners.

"BizBark disrupts the traditional balance of competition power," says Roy Stein, founder and CEO of BabelBark. "It allows the local neighborhood business to not only compete, but also completely leapfrog traditional competitors despite their larger marketing budgets and technical acumen simply by connecting directly to the pet owner."

BizBark creates a community of support focused on a pet's needs. BizBark Pro is simple and easy to use, working directly on a business owner's laptop, tablet or phone. BizBark Pro allows owners to manage communications and marketing all through a single platform.

• Target promotions to drive traffic, such as a discounted first visit for new clients or newly adopted pets
• Make it easy for new customers to find you. Search engine enhancement is included to make results smarter
