Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Summary: Petco takes the lead in the Pet industry, excelling in both email volume and performance. Bark Box and Ren's Pets are competitive but need improvement in reducing promotional content. Brands like Wild One and Petlab Co. struggle, particularly in email scoring, and should refine their strategies for better engagement.

Email Deliverability Summary: Petco showcases exceptional deliverability with a remarkably low spam score and optimized email sizes. Wild One, West & Willow, and Maxbone face challenges in this area, requiring attention to enhance their email deliverability. Pets At Home, although performing well, can improve its email size optimization.

Ads Performance Summary: Petco dominates in advertising, with a high number of ads and diverse content. Bark Box and Petlab Co. follow closely, maintaining a good balance of ad velocity and variety. Native Pet, Ren's Pets, and Maxbone need to ramp up their advertising efforts, while PetPlate and Incredible Pets are currently not active in this space.
