Astro By The Numbers
Black Friday & Small Business Saturday Offers Set New Redemption Records for Astro Retailers!
The weekend of Black Friday and Small Business Saturday is well understood to be the greatest sale days of the year for retail businesses. Normally retailers are expected to gross more on these days than any other days of the year – but there has been nothing normal about 2020.
Astro and our brand partners rallied together to support our community of neighborhood pet shops and published 39 Flash Sale Offers that would run for this weekend and just beyond.
1020 Astro Retailers enrolled and prepared themselves for the big weekend. We all held our breath then BOOM! Together we saw the highest pet owner turnout ever – despite there being a pandemic in our midst. Previous impressive records were smashed and all parties benefited!
Pet Owners showed up for their neighborhood pet shops! They were excited about these Special Offers and realized they couldn’t find deals like these anywhere else.
On average, the participating Astro Retailers grossed an additional $600 in Astro Offer Sales in just 2 days time. 15% of those Astro Retailers made over $1,000 in Offers Sales during those 2 days. Several participating Astro Retailers obliterated records and grossed over $10,000 in additional Offer Sales for that weekend, one retailer with 2 locations made just under $30,000 in Offer Sales!
And guess what? Their great success had little to do with the size of their store or the size of the city/town they are located in. It had more to do with how informed their customers were! On average the retailers that had the most success were those who were actively promoting their Flash Sales to their customers, and their community, in the weeks leading up to the big weekend. They printed their Offer Shelf Talkers, they shared their My Astro Webpage Flyer, they sent Campaigns, they posted on their Social Media.
So what does this mean?
We can make our own luck. Nothing is impossible. David can bring down Goliath!
This is only the beginning! Imagine what we can accomplish together in 2021!
