About Us:
Everyone knows someone who got a dog during COVID-19. Global dog ownership rates are higher than ever before, given this the demand for dog-related goods and services have also reached new peaks. Dog parents are always looking for an attractive deal. Retailers like “Chewy” and service marketplaces such as “Rover” are being utilized more than ever. While the Chewy’s and Amazon’s of the world take up c.40% of dog-related goods market share, SMEs / “Mom and Pops” in the dog-space account for 60% of over consumer spend in the United States. These SMEs also include dog-related services such as training, grooming, dog-friendly restaurants, day care, which is not the core focus of big retailers. Until today, the SME community does not have a dedicated outlet to automate, share and create a community nationwide that is frequented by consumers on a single focused platform.
Bazu is the world’s first deals and discounts app that connects dog parents and dog-related businesses together. We are a dog-parent’s one-stop deal finder built to satisfy their dogs every need by providing merchant partners with a seamless way to automate their business to capture new consumers with ease.
Our platform provides an audience for all dog-related SMEs to share their exclusive deal or discount at their convenience. They can utilize our platform to enhance different aspects of their sales cycle. Whether it is a new grooming business wanting to get additional exposure within their community or a pet supplies store that has been in the neighbourhood for +20 years and overstocked on a product that is not moving and needs support to get supplies moving, Bazu is there to help.
On the end-user side, we have our dog parents, whom we provide a one-stop deal finder for.
