Highlights & Summary

In the month of February, PetPlate, Made by Nacho, and Ziggy sent nearly an equal number of emails, with 13, 12, and 10 respectively. In terms of the number of ads created, Ziggy surpassed all the others by creating 59 ads, whereas in January they had created none. Cat Person, on the other hand, created 48 ads in February, while they had only created 30 in January. This significant increase in the number of ads could be attributed to the higher importance given to marketing efforts in February where we have Valentine’s Day (Feb 14) and National Love Your Pet Day (Feb 20).
