As the holidays sets off,
I want you to know that we are taking a break and it's not just the end of the year holidays.
I am taking a break for a while.
I have considered various options but this is the best at the moment
If you have stocked up on RAYVE pet products, then that's awesome, send me a DM if there is anything to discuss.
We have some stock left, if you want we would send them to you because that will be all for sometime now.
I will retain this page because we will be back for better.
Thank you for a beautiful time.
Thank you
..and enjoy your holidays. Best wishes in the new year
We are going on a break.
And hopefully we will be back soon.
No, it's not just for the holidays.
I am taking a break from running this business and managing this page.
This is for various reasons.
But most importantly, I believe this is the best thing tdo at the moment.
Thank you all for the support so far 🙏 🙌 ❤
May the new year bring you blessings, happiness, peace and all that's best for you.
See you!

The RAYVE NOVEMBER SALE
We had the RAYVE COMEBACK sale in March. It was a reintroduction of the RAYVE brand of pet products in the market.
We had the RAYVE JULY SALE in July. We continued to reintroduce the brand, this time we introduced the RAYVE DISTRIBUTOR TEAM (RDT) a group where all our distributors and retailers are.
We will have the RAYVE NOVEMBER SALE in November. As you now know we sell THREE times a year and in the months I have mentioned above.
Now is the best time to Join us!.
When you do more of what you love, you create space for peace and fulfilment in your life ✨ ♥
i have actually noticed a few apps
i mean apps built for veterinary businesses
let me be specific, i have heard about 2
the vetconect apps and the cleva app
i have heard about the @cleva app before , it was introduced to me, that we can use it to keep records, day to day sales, track debtors and other financial analysis
considering that vets have limited knowledge in the above, i believe it is a needed solution, it will save you money as a starter because you do not have to suffer financial loses because you cant hire an accountant and you obviously cant do all the calculations
i think the app is also available to farmers and farm owners
the other app will be @vetkonect app
i think this one connects pet owners to veterinary doctors closest to them
@drabiodun_so can help me out here, because i have seen him promote the brand. but i had also seen the brand for the firdt timemon linkedin
this is also an amazing solution
it simply means you can be in the corner of your room and get help for your dogs and cats
it also means if you are new in an environment, you don't have to keep looking around for veterinary clinics, you can use your phone!
we live in exciting times guys
here in the UK almost every business will send you to thier website and ask you to download thier app
sometimes i roll my eyes, like just because i need a car to move houses?, just because i want to get a custom made cake?...
🤩
cheers to more apps bringing solutions to the veterinary space in Nigeria!!
OFFER PET SERVICES
instead of opening your pet shop doors and always expecting customers to come, you should begin to think of other actions you could take to bring actively bring customers in
emphasis on actively
this is where offering pet services comes in
you can begin to offer, for example
pet care talks where you can help pet owners with information regarding ways to care for thier pets, what they should do when they just introduce thier pet to the home etc
another example will be to invite an expert e.g a dog/catgroomer, dog breeder, cat breeder, a veterinary doctor to help out your community of pet owners.
there are so many examples
all you need to do is sit down and think of what your customers need in form of services since you already have the products
then provide these services or collaborate to provide these services
then market your products alongside
i sincerely hope this helps

make sure to click the "like" button🥰
i am still happy when i hear of see these apps, i will like to hear stories around these, how thwy were developed and how they are marketed, how people are accepting them and how effective they are turning out to be solving the problems that they were created to solve!
have you used any vet related apps in recent times, i am about to try out a few, but i might not get as much interesting information as you because you are currently in Nigeria
there is no reason, to lock yourself up in a room filled with worry
but you have got every reason to release and express yourself just the way you were intended to be
for me, i think the world can be such a stressful place because many people do what they don't like or are not comfortable with
yes there are reasons and justifications for this but thats not the point for today
what makes it worse is that they do it for such a long time that they forget how it is to do what they really like, heck, they have forgotten what it is that they even like...
this can be hard..
the more you pretend to like what you dont like the more you become what you are not! and the more stressful your life can become
i hope this makes sense to somebody.. drop an emoji if you do
🥳
make sure to enjoy your monday!🥰
This new month will be filled with many beautiful gifts for you. its the month where everything clicks! and you finally figure it out.
i am here, sipping my cup of tea as i am learning to mind my business🤪🤪 and saying to you
Happy new month!
welcome dear AUGUST. We have been waiting for you. #newmonth #august2023
The last time i mentioned this in the RAYVE DISTRIBUTOR TEAM group, someone said this was why he joined the group.
i am largely getting comfortable with disruptions in the business world in a certain way guys. see, uncertainty is very certain🥲😂, i dont know how else to explain but i am sure you will figure it out
the last time, before i was always doing video to teach them how to wrap the soaps because my workers have all gone.
now i have a perfect video handy and a handful of amazing humans who fill in the position for me.
those who are physically available to run thier business in Nigeria know the amount of "shege" that they face daily, not to now talk of me that i am not there...
This is why i am actively looking to move the brand online, we will largely become a tech enabled business and we will THRIVE in this digital economy...
it is a big move, for us. more than being a good strategy at times like this, it is also a solution to be able to manage the business from any parts of the world.
Our online office( OFFICIAL WEBSITE) is under construction !🥳😎
*******************************
by the way we SOLD OUT during the last sale. the RAYVE JULY SALE is officially over. thank you for coming throuuuuugh🎊🎈
NUMBER 2
PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS
i believe we need more partnerships in this industry more than any other, this is a personal view though.
if you have a pet store, you need to realise that your customers do not visit your store only, by customers i am not just talking about those that are already patronizing you.
there are those who like those that are already patronizing that will or might want to buy from you as well, it just that they dont know you exist
i believe the word is PROSPECTS, right
so you have to think of other places where they visit...
and to get a clearer picture you will need to understand the needs of thier pet or guard animal as the case may be
for instance they will need thier health checked(the VET), thier fur,nails and skin will need to be cared for (the GROOOMER) etc
these are but a few brands that you can work with to access more prospects that could become customers and it works both ways
collaboration could also be in form of joining groups and associations where issues around pets are top priority!(lets talk about this some other time)
if you understand this one, make a comment about it
and finally.. shullai continue🥳😏
KINDLY TAG ONLINE PET STORES
If there is something i am particular about at the moment, it is the fact that i want to accommodate more online pet store business owners.
since i have decided to run a business from abroad, na to continue to dey find a way around it, business is about problem solving anyway
so, here i am asking for an referral
tag petstores where you get products fro your pets, tag your neighbours who have plans to start a pet store
tag a new petstore opening up, tag the online vendors you shop from
just please make sure the stores are online and active!
T for TENKS
Today i have no gist for you
why?
because for whatever reason , madam NOSY did not show up at work!
this got me thinking about something i have just learnt about attention,
if you do something good or something bad
it will attract ATTENTION
hmm
i cant believe we all noticed she was 😂😂absent
well, she was and there was no one like her who had enough gossip skills to get us to know why she is away🤣🤣
now i am here informing you as well that my "neighbour" at work is not available today
T for TENKS
should i inform you when she is back?😉🙃
i consulted a few people sha, because i didnt know what to gift my customers during the last sale..
the truth is thinking about this business while working in another country can translate to worry sometimes
remember the RAYVE COMEBACK SALE was just about getting us back to business, infact many of my people thought this is the end of it all..🤣🤣
so instead of worrying i like to consult other business people in Nigeria. and i have been fortunate to know a few good people too!
i loved all the replies i got from everyone who bought from us the last SALE, it made a lot of sense to me that they were happy
spreading happiness is a new JOB i have just found, incase you dont know.
Cheers to the new week ....
this RAYVE JULY SALE..
we have
RAYVE PET SOAP
RAYVE TICK AND FLEA POWDER
RAYVE DOG SHAMPOO
but have you joined the RAYVE DISTRIBUTOR TEAM, this is the only way to place your orders..
thank you
There are many challenges facing the retail business in Nigeria and the pet product retail business is not exempted, especially if you are starting out small. i have been in quite a few petshops while in Nigeria and i know that it can be quite a big deal, from issues like pricing to keeping inventory to invoicing and even supply and getting the right products.
here is FIVE ways i think you can make more profit with your petshop business, i am doing this in a series so lets start with the firdt one,
ONE, closely manage your inventory
put more of your energy into actually knowing your numbers. its not just about having a lot products or variety of products. knowing the exact number and brands that you have will save you a lot of recuerring headache!
i remember a time when we had a whole pack of an expensive product missing at a store i used to work. we didnt even know that it was missing as we had so many other products, that could serve as replacement and we only just assumed that we were out of stock
when we decided to place order for another batch was when the vendor asked us how we were able to sell out so fast!🤣🤣🤣.... because the product was pretty expensive, i think it was about 5000naira per 100ml back then.
it was then we realised we didnt really sell so much of it and when we confirmed from the vendor how much of the product he delivered, we knew we had to search the whole place!, a very large place
imagine the stress, time wasted and money about to be wasted!
to cut it short, we found it!, a whole carton containing about 50 pieces!, not just that the product was also close to expiry!
i just cannot forget that experience, just how?
how will the owner feel if this product got wasted
your inventory has a retailer should be taken with utmost priority, it will not just increase your profit, it will save you stress, time and confusion.
there are apps that help you do this too, making your life as a pet store owner easier
You need to manage yo
Before I made the design for the previous post, I made this reel☺️😊
It took me quite sometime to edit and I was eager to post it only for it not to post for whatever reason
Again, watch me explore
I think I like this reel and canva is such an awesome app, I am just intrigued by apps these days
..and how they are being used to solve problems
Anyways!
You need to be a part of the July RAYVE SALES!
We have PET SOAPS, DOG SHAMPOO AND TICK POWDER all at discounted prices
You however need to be in the RAYVE DISTRIBUTOR TEAM (RDT) group to buy!
Cheers!
