DataWeave Releases 2023 eCommerce Petcare Report: Pet Food Stock Availability Rallies, Along With Growth

DataWeave

Stock Availability shot up from 52% in 2021 to 76% in 2022 Discounting rose sharply in 2022 from 2021 levels Top 3 pet food brands account for half of all share of eCommerce search results Some signs of a swing from shortage to inventory overstock DataWeave, a leading provider of Competitive Intelligence and Digital Shelf Analytics for consumer brands and retailers globally, released its 2023 Petcare eCommerce Report: how brands can leverage digital shelf analytics to grow their sales and market share profitability. The report provides a data-rich overview of the online petcare market, with stock availability, discounting, and online search trends across retailers and brands. DataWeave analyzes price changes and assortment composition by brand and retailer in light of market dynamics and fluctuating macroeconomic environments. Analyzing thousands of leading brand petcare SKUs, the report offers insights into the current state of the online pet food market as global supply chain pressures have eased. DataWeave’s 2023 Petcare eCommerce Report indicates dramatic year-over-year shifts in product availability, a signal that Covid-driven supply chain challenges not only lifted but swung into reverse across brands at about the same time. “Our analysis on these aspects of nationwide online petcare availability provides insight into how quickly the supply chain has bounced back from the pandemic crisis. This has amounted to a significant 24 percentage point rise in availability, and, it could be said, in some cases brands being overstocked,” said Karthik Bettadapura, CEO of DataWeave. “Our report on the eCommerce petcare sector makes the connection between these greatly improved stock levels, discounting, and share of search.” The 2023 PetCare eCommerce Report analyzes prices across all products in the petcare category, finding that discounting strategies across brands are quite divergent, with some of the top brands operating within a limited range of discounting while other brands priced their products at the extreme ends of the spectrum. The report also looks into differences between dog and cat food availability, with some surprising findings indicating clear consumer preferences. Almost half the share of products in the top 10 search results for relevant non-branded search keywords in 2022 were held by the top three brands, Hill’s Pet, Mars and Nestlé, the report found. Data analysis also revealed that several new, small-scale brands recently entering the market are gaining more share, including Chicken Soup for the Soul, Justfoodfordogs, Stella & Chewy’s, Tiki, Victor, and Open Farm. “As one of the largest categories in CPG eCommerce, petcare brands increasingly need to build a holistic approach to winning online,” said Krish Thyagarajan, President and COO of DataWeave. “With the tight consumer market we’re experiencing, this includes keeping an eye on their online presence and benchmarking their performance against competitors every single day. We see our 2023 Petcare eCommerce Report as a view into the highly dynamic nature of the online petcare market as inflation continues to dominate the consumer mindset, while informing brands and retailers in the industry on best practices.” Report Methodology To come to its findings, DataWeave tracked the data of 5,000+ SKUs to analyze stock availability and discounts, and 100,000+ SKUs to analyze the share of search for leading petcare brands in the U.S. The timeline of the analysis spans October to December of 2021 and all of 2022 to capture the state of the market during the more dynamic holiday seasons. DataWeave is an SaaS-based digital commerce analytics platform that provides competitive intelligence to retailers and digital shelf analytics to consumer brands globally. With DataWeave, retailers can make smarter pricing and merchandising decisions while consumer brands can optimize their digital shelf for KPIs like share of search, content quality, price competitiveness, and stock availability. DataWeave’s AI-powered proprietary technology aggregates and delivers actionable eCommerce insights across 500+ billion data points globally, 400,000 brands, 1,500+ websites, 20+ verticals, and 25+ languages.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Macon, GA Moves to New Location & Has Grand Opening

Minuteman Press International Inc

Richie Moore and his family have owned the Minuteman Press franchise in Macon, Georgia since June of 2017. As they approach six years in business, Richie, along with his father and his wife Elle, have moved to a brand new facility at 4341 Interstate DR, Suite B, Macon GA 31210. To celebrate the move, Minuteman Press in Macon held a grand opening on February 21, 2023, that was sponsored by the Greater Macon-Bibb Chamber of Commerce, the Perry Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce. Richie shares, “We have needed more space for the last 3 years. We wanted to get the equipment needed to do the things our customers have been asking us to do and now we have the space and a lot of the equipment needed! We want to show Middle Georgia that the big jobs don’t need to be sent out of our local area, and that Minuteman Press in Macon can produce and deliver for them.” Richie further explains the benefits of the new facility: “We now have a lobby that we can show off our larger jobs and spark ideas in our customers. If that doesn’t do it we want to set up tours of our facility to show the machines’ capabilities for prints. We have just upgraded our main production systems on all of our paper products so that we can print even faster and deliver higher quality. We are able to get longer lasting, higher quality signage done at a fraction of the time it would take a typical sign shop to print.” When it comes to marketing the business, Richie has followed the Minuteman Press system and reached out to his local business community through networking groups. He also focuses on education potential and established customers on the product capabilities that Minuteman Press in Macon has to offer. Richie shares: “We have participated in a lot of networking groups in the last 6 years and that has been some of the main drivers behind our growth. We’ve worked hard on getting out into the community and talking about our vision at Minuteman Press Macon to our customers. Our message is simple: We are showing Middle Georgia that having a quick turnaround doesn’t have to sacrifice quality. We educate them on the fact that having quality doesn’t have to come with the highest price tag. And above all, we make it a point to let our clients know that growing larger doesn’t sacrifice the customer care that our customers receive on a daily basis. “There is a big market for the medium-size niche jobs that sadly is getting left by the wayside. We have customers that want 500 boxes or direct printed bags. They are a small-to-medium sized companies and they don’t necessarily need 5,000 bags that are all the same. They want 500 of 10 different bags so they can sell more products. We want to offer an option to those people who need help with all of their printing needs and don’t want to go to 5 different places to get them all done.” -Richie Moore, co-owner, Minuteman Press, Macon, GA Franchise Support from Minuteman Press International Before franchising, Richie shares, “My wife Elle and I come from the insurance world and before that I worked with computers everywhere. My dad called me up one day and asked if I’d be interested in a printing franchise. One of our computer customers was Minuteman Press Macon and the owner called us and asked if we would be interested in buying the computers back from him. We offered to let us try running the business for a few months and see if it was for us.” He continues, “We did it and we loved helping out the customers. We loved that every day was something new to do. You definitely have to stay on your toes in a print shop! So, my wife and I cashed in our insurance bonuses and bought into a new business with my dad. From there, we have grown it dramatically and want to continue to grow with our customers.” Richie shares his thoughts on the support he and his family have received since joining the Minuteman Press franchise family. He says, “The Minuteman Press franchise has been around a long time and will be around a lot longer. If you have seen it printed, they have had experience with it. Our corporate office has been a great support to us when we had questions on how to help our customers. They have always been supportive in helping us reach our goals. This move to our new building has been the top goal for us for at least 3 years now, and we couldn’t have done it without the help and guidance of our local RVP Dave Walton and the local support team.” Richie adds, “We took over in 2017 but this Minuteman Press franchise has been in Macon for 35 years! We have a lot of experience and knowledge about the products that our clients want and possibly some that you don’t even know about that can help!” When asked about his final thoughts on the move and being business owner, Richie says, “I like to remind all of our clients that WE ARE LOCAL and that we can help. We would love to show prospects what we can do and invite them to tour our facility!” Richie concludes, “For business owners, I would say you need to s urround yourself with smart people that have done it all and are successful. This way, you will end up driving yourself to reach their level. That’s yet another reason franchising and Minuteman Press was right for us.” Minuteman Press in Macon is located at 4341 Interstate DR, Suite B, Macon GA 31210.

House Budget Chairman Introduces a Constitutional Path for Voters to Approve a State-drafted and Inflation-fighting Fiscal Responsibility Amendment

Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation

The Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation (FFSF), a coalition of nonpartisan advocates concerned about the impacts of inflation and out-of-control national debt, applaud House Budget Committee Chairman Jody Arrington’s introduction of House Concurrent Resolution 24. This legislation calls for an Article V Convention for proposing a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment to the United States Constitution and stipulates ratification by a vote of We the People.” On Wednesday, March 29 th, former Comptroller General and FFSF Co-Founder David Walker will testify before the House Budget Committee at a Hearing entitled, “ Fiscal State of the Union.” Walker will discuss the “ Fiscal Way Forward ” ( 10:00 AM Eastern in 210 Cannon House Office Building) which includes adopting a federal fiscal responsibility constitutional amendment designed to constrain debt/GDP to a reasonable and sustainable level. HCR 24 calls on Congress to set the time and place for an Article V “Convention for proposing Amendments” and requires amendment ratification by a vote of the people in “ three fourths (38) of the States via State Ratifying Conventions. The resolution also designates the House Clerk as responsible for confirming from congressional records whether, at any time, at least two-thirds (34) of the states “ had unrescinded continuing Applications on any national issues (plenary) plus the single issue of fiscal responsibility. ” Chairman Arrington originally introduced this legislation as HCR 101 in July of 2022 requiring Congress to perform its ministerial duty under Article V of the U.S. Constitution which states: ‘The Congress,...on the Application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments…to the United States Constitution… The Concurrent Resolution states in part: “beginning in 1979, when Congress appears to have failed in its constitutional duty to count Applications and call a ‘‘Convention for proposing Amendments,’’ the Nation’s debt has increased to more than $31 trillion from $860 billion, while the value of the dollar has declined by over 75 percent.” Hon. David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States, stated, “I commend Rep. Jodey Arrington for his leadership in introducing a resolution designed to restore federal fiscal sanity and uphold the Article V rights of the states to propose and the people to ratify an Inflation-fighting Fiscal Responsibility Amendment. The time has come to end the dereliction of duty by Congress and defuse our ticking debt bomb.” Ken Cuccinelli, former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, and former Attorney General of Virginia said, “We must use the Constitution to restore the boundaries of power in Washington. The process this resolution calls for is state driven from beginning to end, requiring a vote of the people to ensure its safety. If Congress fails to approve the resolution as Article V appears to mandate, a mandamus action will likely be pursued in Federal Court.” Admiral William Owens, United States Navy (ret.) and former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, “Our country seriously needs a strong reminder of both the states’ equal right with Congress to propose Amendments and the seriousness of acting fiscally in the best interests of our country and our national security.” Dr. Barry Poulson, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado stated, “The United States is out of step as more than 90 countries are using fiscal rules today. The “Swiss Debt Brake,” for example, was approved in 2001 by an 85% vote of the people. It slowed total annual spending growth, excluding social security, resulting in Switzerland being ranked as having the highest GDP per capita and the lowest borrowing cost of any AAA rated Country. It is time for citizens to decide how much government they want and are willing to pay for.” “On behalf of my granddaughters, I want to thank U.S. Representative Jodey Arrington for taking this important step to correct Congress’ constitutional failure in 1979 to call the Convention for proposing Amendments. Most importantly, the Resolution would prohibit any proposed Amendments from being added to our Constitution without a majority vote of the people for yes-pledged delegates in three-quarters of the State Conventions,” stated David Biddulph, Co-Founder of the Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation. The Concurrent Resolution is a significant victory in the fiscal responsibility coalition’s “ StopInflating.US ” campaign for a state-drafted, voter-approved, inflation-fighting Fiscal Responsibility Amendment to the United States Constitution as soon as November 5, 2024. ### Please visit: StopInflating.US To learn more about the calls for an Article V Convention for proposing Amendments or to schedule an interview with a Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation spokesperson, contact Mae James at 386-423-4744.

Luna Daily Partners Exclusively With Sephora For U.S. Launch, Becoming The First Exclusive UK Intimate Care Brand Available at Sephora

Luna Daily

New York, NY (March 28, 2023) - Revolutionary intimate care brand Luna Daily announced today that it will be partnering exclusively with beauty retailer Sephora for the brand’s U.S. launch. Luna Daily will become the first exclusive UK intimate care brand to launch at Sephora, as the retailer newly enters the category. Previously only available in the UK, this retail expansion marks the brand’s entry into the U.S. market. Luna Daily will be available in over 260 Sephora stores across the U.S. in May 2023, and on Sephora.com beginning on April 4, 2023. Luna Daily will also be featured on Sephora’s “Next Big Thing” wall, which features trending and high-potential brands. Luna Daily is a female-founded, microbiome balancing body care brand for all skin, even your most intimate. Founded by beauty-industry veteran Katy Cottam and formulated with dermatologists and gynecologists, the products are powered by Luna Daily ’s unique complex [THERMA-BIOME+™] made up of Thermal Water, Prebiotics & Vitamins to strengthen, nourish, and protect the skin’s microbiome. All Luna Daily products are pH perfect, natural and vegan, free from soap, allergens, sulfates and parabens, sustainable, and thoughtfully designed. Luna Daily has three core ranges, carefully curated to consider the changes women go through daily, weekly, and monthly - from getting your period, through motherhood, to menopause. These are comprised of Original (for daily care), Fragrance-Free (for sensitive or allergy-prone skin, including pregnancy and post-birth), and Hydrating (for dry, dehydrated or hormonally changing skin, including, perimenopause and menopause). Luna Daily will launch all three of its ranges for women of ‘all ages & stages’ exclusively at Sephora U.S. on their “Next Big Thing” wall with their best-selling hero The Everywhere Spray-To-Wipe, the World's first natural, eco alternative to single-use wipes (1 bottle = 300 wipes), The Everywhere Wash, a natural, gentle cleansing wash, and The Everything Oil, a lightweight, deeply moisturizing, multi-tasking oil clinically proven to visibly reduce ingrown hairs, dark spots, redness, and bumps for smooth, soft skin. Each product has been tested on all skin types, including sensitive skin, and was created based on the brand’s mission to revolutionize the outdated 'feminine hygiene' category by providing a simplified, thoughtfully created regimen that can be used by anyone, anywhere. The Everywhere Spray-To-Wipe will also be featured in Sephora’s “Minis and More” across 60+ stores. Multi-use, it’s perfect for instant cleansing, on-the-go, post-gym, or on your period. The Everywhere Spray-To-Wipe is the must-have companion in your handbag, gym bag, or at home. Spray directly onto skin or onto a tissue to create a refreshing, skin-friendly eco-wipe for all skin, even your most intimate. One recyclable bottle is the equivalent of 300 single-use wipes. In 2022 alone, sales of the product saved 2 million single-use wipes. “ Luna Daily was born out of personal experience of not being able to use traditional body care products for my intimate skin, frustrated at the outdated feminine hygiene products available with all of the ‘what’s wrong with her’ associations. With the help of medical experts including dermatologists and gynecologists, I created Luna Daily – microbiome balancing body care for all your skin, even your most intimate. And revolutionizing a new category of products is only part of our mission – with Luna Daily, I want to help normalize conversations and change education, connecting women to each other and their entire bodies,” said Katy Cottam, Founder of Luna Daily. “I am so thrilled to be partnering with Sephora as the leading global beauty retailer driving forward this movement. The retail environment is integral to helping us redefine the category and consumer shopping behavior and it’s a huge moment to be the first ever brand of our kind in a Sephora store alongside established beauty categories.” “Sephora is thrilled to partner with Luna Daily and continue bringing our clients best-in-class products that support all their beauty and wellness needs,” said Cindy Deily, VP Skincare Merchandising at Sephora. “With its inclusive approach and effective, clean formulations, Luna Daily offers products that support the unique needs of women at all stages of life and helps reinforce Sephora’s commitment to this important, growing category of intimate care. We look forward to introducing Luna Daily to our Sephora community and know it will be a wonderful addition to our assortment.” Luna Daily products are formulated with The Luna Daily Collective, composed of expert dermatologists, gynecologists and experts. The Luna Daily Collective is newly joined by Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, a U.S.-based board certified OBGYN who specializes in supporting women across a range of conditions, and is also a nationally certified menopause practitioner. “ Luna Daily’ s mission to provide education and dispel myths about intimate care is perfectly aligned with my own values. As an OBGYN, intimate care is one of the most common topics I address in my practice, and infections due to product use are the most frequent reason why patients come in to visit me. I am thrilled to be working with Luna Daily to continue helping people choose products that are safe, effective, and can be used from head to toe,” said Dr. Prabakar, OBGYN & medical advisor for The Luna Daily Collective. Venture capital has also taken notice of the rapid rise in consumer demand for these emerging wellness categories. In order to fuel the new market entry into the U.S. and expansion into brick and mortar retail, Luna Daily has closed a $3.7MM investment from UK firms Redrice, Joyance, and Velocity Juice, as well as angel investors. Luna Daily is over 70% female owned and has a 70% female senior leadership team. For more information on Luna Daily, visit luna-daily.com.

Founded by Katy Cottam (former Global Head of Brand Marketing at Charlotte Tilbury) and formulated with dermatologists and gynecologists, Luna Daily products are powered by the brand’s unique complex [THERMA-BIOME+™] to strengthen, nourish, and protect the skin’s microbiome. All Luna Daily products are pH perfect, natural and vegan, free from soap, allergens, sulfates and parabens, sustainable, and thoughtfully designed.

Why Are People So Afraid of Root Canals?

YourUpdateTV

Root canals tend to strike fear in people. Just thinking of the words are enough to terrify most of us. Root canal symptoms can be a pain. Choosing your root canal option doesn’t have to be. According to the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020, many people actually avoid root canals and further deteriorate the state of their teeth purely because they have misconceptions about the pain and treatment time associated with the procedure. However, root canal treatment can be extremely important – in fact, dental research shows that losing teeth can result in psychological distress due to lowered self-confidence, especially if the lost teeth are highly visible. To combat these fears and misconceptions, the GentleWave Procedure is a less invasive and less painful alternative to conventional root canal treatment. It is redefining standard treatment with a minimally invasive process that preserves tooth structure and promotes early healing. Focused on saving teeth, Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology company and the developer of the GentleWave System. According to a recent clinical trial, 99.5% of patients experienced minimal to no pain during the GentleWave Procedure with the addition of CleanFlow Technology. More than one million patients have received the GentleWave Procedure to date. Sonendo is leveraging its innovative technology to transform root canal therapy, making it simpler for clinicians and less invasive and almost pain-free for patients.
