How Almo Nature became a Key Player in the Pet Supplies Market

In the highly competitive world of pet supplies, few brands stand out as true game-changers. Almo Nature is one such brand, thanks to their strong focus on quality and sustainability.

As Warmako we have had the privilege of working closely with Almo Nature to bring their premium products to retailers across the market. This collaboration has not only boosted Almo Nature’s presence but has also set new standards for pet nutrition.

All Profits to the Planet
Almo Nature was founded in 2000 with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide pets with the highest quality food made from natural ingredients. This commitment to quality is reflected in every product they offer, from their wet and dry food to treats and plant-based cat litter. Almo Nature’s dedication to using only the finest ingredients, free from artificial additives and preservatives, has a big impact on pet owners who want the best for their animals.

But Almo Nature’s appeal goes beyond just quality. The brand has also championed sustainability and the reintegration economy model, which have become increasingly important to consumers. Almo Nature’s ‘All Profits to the Planet’ vision highlights their commitment to environmental responsibility, ensuring that every product not only supports pet health but also contributes to the well-being of our planet.

Warmako’s role in Almo Nature’s success
The collaboration between Warmako and Almo Nature began in 2010, with Warmako introducing the brand to all major retail chains in the Netherlands. By integrating Almo Nature into Warmako’s comprehensive platform, the brand became accessible to all sales outlets through various order connections, such as EDI, our B2B shop, and the order app used by our sales representatives. Additionally, our customer service facilitates order placement through convenient tools like WhatsApp and Zendesk.

Over the years, we have expanded our platform with various marketing opportunities, successfully raising awareness of Almo Nature among the target audience. This includes a brand page, newsletters, special promotions, informative blogs, and a presence on Instagram and LinkedIn. Furthermore, we have utilized in-store presentations, displays, sales sheets, and POS materials to support the brand in stores.

We have also established smart connections with our warehouse via Droppery and Channable, enabling customers to dropship directly from Warmako’s inventory to their own customers. This integrated approach has firmly positioned Almo Nature in the Dutch market.

Strategic Marketing and Promotion
One of the keys to Almo Nature’s success has been strategic marketing and promotion. Warmako has leveraged its extensive knowledge of the pet supplies market to craft targeted marketing campaigns that highlight Almo Nature’s unique selling points. By focusing on the brand’s commitment to quality, natural ingredients, and sustainability, we’ve been able to create compelling narratives that resonate with both retailers and consumers.

Building trust with retailers and consumers
Trust is the foundation of any successful brand, and Warmako has worked tirelessly to build and maintain that trust in Almo Nature. Through transparent communication, consistent product availability, and responsive customer service, we have ensured that retailers feel confident in stocking Almo Nature products. This trust has translated into strong sales and brand loyalty among consumers.

Knowledge and Training
Another crucial factor in Almo Nature's success is education. Warmako has invested in training our representatives to give retailers the knowledge they need to sell Almo Nature products effectively. By understanding the brand's values, product benefits and unique selling points, retailers can better communicate them to their customers, resulting in higher sales and customer satisfaction.

For example, some retailers may recall a memorable demonstration by our representative Tim, who took a bite of the HFC wet food for cats to emphasise that it is made with 100% HFC ingredients - ingredients originally intended for human consumption. This hands-on approach underlines not only the top quality of the products, but also the commitment of our representatives.

Almo Nature as a Market Leader
The combined efforts of Almo Nature and Warmako have yielded impressive results. Almo Nature has become synonymous with high-quality, ethical pet food, and its products are now staples in pet stores across the market. The brand’s strong market presence has not only boosted sales but also set a new benchmark for what pet owners expect in terms of quality and sustainability.

For retailers, offering a brand like Almo Nature offers numerous benefits. Not only does it align with the growing consumer demand for premium products, but it also enhances the overall reputation of their stores, leading to increased customer loyalty and repeat purchases.

Continuing the Journey
The journey of Almo Nature is far from over. As the pet supplies market continues to evolve, so too will the opportunities for growth and innovation. Warmako is committed to continuing its partnership with Almo Nature, helping to expand its reach and influence even further. By staying true to the values that have made Almo Nature a success - quality, sustainability, and trust - we are confident that the brand will continue to thrive in the years to come.
