Dear Pet Lover, On a daily basis, we receive a great deal of paws-itive feedback on our website, business model, and most importantly, on the Shure Pets product line. We are thrilled and want to keep spreading the word. If you are receiving this newsletter, most likely you have expressed some level of interest in Shure Pets, or are already one of our Independent Pet Consultants. Either way, I'd like to take this opportunity to give you some tips for increasing your selling or purchasing power with Shure Pets. 1) Identify a local non-profit pet organization and approach them about creating a "wish list" of items they need that are part of |

Shure Pets' product line. Then, post that list in a common area within the organization and display Shure Pets brochures with a sign indicating the date and time that you will be at the organization to take orders and/or answer any questions about the products. It's likely that people will not only buy things to be donated to the organization, but will also make purchases for their own pets. Consider donating a portion of your proceeds (5-10%) back to the organization to show your support and appreciation for giving you the business opportunity. 2) Invite your customers to host a Shure Pets party. Or, if you would like host a pet party but don't have a Pet Consultant, contact Shure Pets and we'll refer you to the Pet Consultant closest to you. Remember that every host who books a Shure Pets party receives a $5 gift certificate towards Shure Pets products. And, for every $100 worth of products sold at the party, the host will receive a $10 gift certificate towards Shure Pets products. Don't forget that the more parties that are booked by party guests the more gift certiciates for Shure Pets products the original host receives. 3) Network with other people in direct sales. Maybe you can host a joint party combining both your product lines. Or, if you share leads that are appropriate for their product line, they may, in turn, do the same for you. Another idea is to suggest sharing a booth fee at local events lowering your own investment, making it easier to make a profit. If you have any questions about executing any of these ideas, or would like more information, please contact us at info@shurepets.com or toll free at 888-SHURE PETS (888.748.7373). Good luck and keep sending us your feedback. It is critical to our success. Sincerely, Andrew Shure, Founder. |

There are still 33 states needing Pet Consultants. If any pet lover becomes the first Pet Consultant from any of the remaining states listed, they will receive a $20 credit on their first product order. This bone-us only refers to Pet Consultants who are not recruited by another Pet Consultant. States remaining: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

 Even when the temperature drops and snow appears, you should continue bathing your dog at regular intervals. Far too many dog owners refuse to bathetheir pup during the midst of the winter for fear that their canine will get sick or catch a cold due to winter grooming. However, this is not the case. You can safely bathe your dog in a bathtub during the winter, making "shure" he is completely dry before you allow him to play in drafty areas of the house or to go outside. In fact, regular bathing and brushing of your dog's coat can actually help him remain warmer throughout the winter months. Why? Because clean hair tends to trap the air, keeping it closer to the skin, just like layering clothing assists humans in staying warm. Additionally, keeping the hair between your pet's toes and pads neat and trim prevents miniature snowballs from collecting there. Regular bathing will also remove any salt that has accumulated in your dog's fur. Why Pet Sweaters? Pets who will benefit from the extra warmth provided by a dog sweater or sweatshirt include those who are older, have short hair or a lean body like a Poodle or Terrier. For Other Howl-iday Tips to Keep Your Pets Happy and Healthy: *Tinsel and streamers are deadly for animals. If eaten, these items can get tangled in their intestines. *Do not forget to spend quality time with your pets during the hectic holiday season. Sometimes we get so caught up in the festivities |
