The Dogs & Cats Shopping Network aims to create a home shopping network exclusively for dogs and cats. It will start by securing paid programming slots on cable channels to air infomercials for pet products. It will also launch an e-commerce marketplace for small pet toy manufacturers to sell their products, operating on a similar model to Amazon Marketplace. Over time, it aims to establish the brand and potentially expand into brick-and-mortar stores, entertainment ventures, and branded merchandise.

Abstract Components
Business
D&C is not embarking on anything that has not been done before,
but has been done in different pieces, no one has put together all
the parts in a very branded, detailed oriented and focusing on
creating completely a new customer experience.
Dogs & Cats Shopping Network will have the following
components:
• Key would be creating a Home Shopping Network exclusively
for Dogs and Cats.
• In the beginning using the paid programming slots (infomercial
time) on select tier-2 channels
• Creating a D&C shopping marketplace – like Amazon.com
marketplace, invite product reviews, highlight products,
becoming the “publisher” and “store” for the huge cottage
industry which produces the pet toys. Eventually to produce
infomercials for products for the website and do product
launches.

Pet Owners
This is the first building block of D&C. The marketplace addresses
the issue of a highly fragmented, and primarily cottage industry
manufacturing pet toys.
Most small manufacturers (most of them out of their) homes have
no resources to market their products, they create websites think
the traffic would come, or if they are bigger they try to get their
products in to pet boutiques.
D&C Marketplace is an e-commerce website which does not carry
any inventory. Pet toys manufacturers put their toys on
themselves for a 25% share of the revenue. The model is the same
as Amazon.com.
D&C Marketplace will market to the consumers through print ads,
SEO and through relationships with non-profits etc.
D&C Marketplace would also seek consumer rating of vendors,
and also products (some of the product reviews will be pre-
populated).
Once D&C Marketplace has got some traction, would also create
small 2 min paid infomercials for the vendors and put them on the
site. This would also attract more consumers as its more emotive
and they can see how it would fit into their lifestyle.
Producing infomercials' (low quality) for the web is not costly,
costs approximately $500 per edited min if done in-house.
D&C Marketplace will become the model for reaching the
consumers for the cottage industry.

Customer Experience Revenue
Expenses (Rough)
Main issue with large number of SKU’s is customer getting
overloaded with information, and most of it is not relevant to
them.
D&C Marketplace main goal for the customers would be to have
“relevance” as the main focus. Some of the areas of relevance that
we would focus on:
• Breed of Dog
• Lifestyle – urban or suburban
• Price range
• Sending them reviews of new products if its relevant to
them.
• Registery for dogs
• At some point also we would start creating products
generated from what the consumers want.
• Become the place for vendors to launch their products
• Develop a configuration tool based on the profile of the
consumer

Development & running D&C

This includes development, maintenance, customer service, merchandising
$ 1,745,000
Marketing Marketing would include print advertising in dog magazines, banner ads in high
traffic dog related websites, relationships and revenue share with non-profits like the
SPCA, and finally through short infomercials $ 600,000
Management Including President, finance and marketing support $ 400,000
Miscellaneous including leases etc $ 200,000
Total expense for a year $ 2,945,000
There are 3 components for projecting the revenue
• Price point – preliminary research and experience shows that
the cart size average $30
• Traffic – through marketing we are confident to reach a
minimum of 1 million hits, this is very conservative.
• Conversion – We would have a higher conversion rate as we
want to have the maximum number of sku’s available to the
consumers looking at a 5% conversion rate
• Projected revenue $1.5 million a month and a revenue share
of 25% would net for D&C $375K or $4.5M a year
• The growth of this on annual basis is directly proportional to
the traffic and conversion, and they are based on the
consumer experience. We think could increase traffic
substantially every year.
• This does not include the revenue from creating a short
infomercial business for small pet manufacturers. . This
would enhance the customer experience on D&C.

Pets
Create the first ever shopping network exclusively for dogs and
cats. It would be similar to QVC or Home Shopping Network
(Direct Response) with exclusive pet products. However as there is
a very high emotive factor we would have for sure dogs/ cats on
the sets, maybe shoot b-roll of products with the pets etc.
The Show
• The show will be a hosted show initially for an hour
• The show will air on all week nights
• As a start would air in the late night paid programming slots
• Every week have a celebrity talent (like Paris Hilton) for a short
duration
• Have 3-4 people representing different psychographics with
their pets on the show, where the pets are the expert testers
The Production
• Shoot one day a week.
• 8-12 products
• Edit every week day the show, based on what sold the day
before. Introducing a new product every day.
The Direct Response
• Have a direct response company deal with all the logistics of
shipping and taking the calls 24/7
• Also have 24/7 customer service and web orders
The Merchandising
• Merchandising the right products and the other side is getting
the vendors to agree to give “large” numbers on a consignment
basis

Strategic Assumptions Revenue
D&C growth plan
Dogs & Cats Shopping Network (C) Confidential 2008 6
The revenue is based on 2-3 components and having an extremely
well produced show
• Number of viewers (primary) – we think given the quality of
the show and marketing done prior to launch we could start
with 5 million viewers a show
• Price points – most infomercials peg the price to be shy of
$30, we think with the celebrity talent the average could be
higher
• Conversion – we think that the conversion would be 0.1%
• Merchandising -- the merchandising would be generated
more from the celebrity talent and making sure that its
hitting different price points.
• Revenue per day $150,000
