Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Overview: Over the last month, the Dog industry saw a 55.02% increase in average emails sent, reaching 11.27 per brand. Bark Box leads with an impressive 38 emails, showcasing robust marketing outreach. Dope Dog, Just Food For Dogs, and Native Pet also perform well, demonstrating a good balance of frequency and engagement. However, Just Food For Dogs needs improvement in email scoring to maintain its competitive edge. Brands like Reggie and The Farmer's Dog lag in both promotions and scoring, indicating areas for strategic enhancement.

Email Deliverability Insights: Average spam scores across the industry improved by 22.67%, with an average of -1.74. Dope Dog excels with a substantial score improvement, while Furbo Dog Camera impresses with the smallest email size, enhancing both deliverability and user experience. In contrast, The Foggy Dog faces challenges with a large email size, potentially impacting deliverability. Executives should focus on refining email size and maintaining optimal spam scores to ensure reliable communication.

Ads Performance: In the advertising arena, diversity is key. Bark Box and Dog is Human lead with 67 and 97 ads, respectively, showcasing both volume and creativity. The Foggy Dog, though strong in images, lacks video diversity. Front Of The Pack and Dogdrop struggle with limited advertising presence. A strategic recommendation is to diversify advertising content, especially through videos, to maintain a fresh and engaging brand image in the competitive Dog industry.
